monkeybard | Major League Soccer is coming home!

That is to say, we'll be getting a major league team once again. Something we haven't had in a loooong time. I remember shrieking like some sort of new world bainsidhe the day the North American Soccer League went under and now, at last, we'll be getting a pro team again. And thanks to jaunthie, I know about the website and, more importantly, the vote. Why's that the most imporatant part? Because it's a chance to vote for the team name. THIS MATTERS! The three names they've come up with suck ass to such an extent I wonder if the people were lobotomized before being sent into the brainstorming session. They are common, boring, and completely UN-Seattle. Clearly no effort was put in and no local research was done. So, here's what I'm asking. Whether you give a damn about soccer in Seattle or not, please please please consider registering simply so you can send a write-in vote to these idiots. What you want to be writing-in, by the way, is "Sounders". Just, please, for the love of sport and my childhood, do this for me? I will send you virtual cookies. Real ones, even, if I can get the USPS to deliver them to your location. Thank you.

This has been your PSA and soapbox speech for the day.
