LeBron James would be an elite striker. He’d be nifty up front, too. Derrick Rose could wear number 10 and distribute and score from the right side of the mid-field. Darrelle Revis would shut down the world’s best scorers.
America loves a winner. So let’s buy one.
Some very wealthy business person needs to make the no-brainer decision to buy one of the marginal premier league teams – might we suggest the Wolverhampton Wanderers? – and move this team to New York.
This Business Insider article might be the most idiotic ever written about soccer.
Besides saying that the U.S. “still stinks” at the beautiful game because our U23 team failed to qualify for the Olympics playing three games in five days (losing out only by a last gasp goal and a blunder by a back-up goalie), this “writer” proposes that an ownership group buy a “winner” like Wolverhampton Wanderers from the Premier League and move them to New York.
It seems like the story ran a day late (April 2) because it’s pure fiction, especially the part about how LeBron James would be an “elite striker,” Derrick Rose a midfield force and some guy I’ve never heard of a defensive stopper.
