It's great to spread the word. I just object to inviting certain teams on merit and calling it a "Championship", when one team is being invited purely for marketing reasons. Call it an exhibition tournament and everyone's happy. Still, hope you have fun with it anyway, let us know how it goes down. Absolutely agree, nobody is saying there shouldn’t be an exhibition.

But we do have a large number of kids involved in soccer that are unable to travel to the mainland or Europe to see a professional game. This exhibition benefits alot of people, the league, the teams and the fans willing to pay to see professional soccer at home. Don't be haters, think about the kids that will be inspired. We hope to fill there will be enough interest that this will become an annual event.

It’s what football teams do nowadays." COSMOS have done it, back in 1920 AC Hakoah a top Jewish team from Vienna have traveled all around Europe and even played in U.S.. So teams away whored themselves out, what LA Galaxy are doing, is pure circus. “no-one can blame the Galaxy for whoring themselves endlessly. It’s what football teams do nowadays.”

Just think of them as spreading a gospel of free love for an unusually high degree of compensation. Don’t think of them as whores, Laurie.

They just...just... They just like spreading their affection around all over the world while earning tons of money by doing it. And if that makes them whores, well... Damn. You're right. They're whores. ;-) My team are NOT whores. They just…just… They just like spreading their affection around all over the world while earning tons of money by doing it.
