Major League Soccer Coming To Houston!!!!!


One more reason to move to Houston!

Too bad the proposed names are so lame-o:

Apollos
Americans
Bulls
Buffalos
Eagles
Generals
Gatos
Houston 1836
Lonestars
Mustangs
Stallions
Stars
Toros

The Houston Americans? WTF?

I think Toros is the name of the basketball team in Austin (minor league?). I saw it on the back of a taxicab coming into town the other day.

Major league soccer in Houston looks like yet another major league boondoggle by the Houston Sports Authority. It would be awesome if major league sports could survive on their own economic merits, but apparently they can't in Houston.

Yeah, I am partial to the Houston Emission Events. Houston Refinery Explosions may be too harsh for most fans.

Houston Gas Mongers?

Houston Gas Guzzlers could be shortened to just 'The Guzzlers'.
