I think the point is for everyone on this board that we have ideals of a MN MLS team in a SSS with an owner who has lots of money and loves soccer. That won't happen in the next 10 years. So, what will we take? Obviously we're pushing to have soccer be a major part of these plans. I don't want a dome, I said that just last week, but I'll take a dome if it means an MLS team. I'm happy that this is being debated and that we get to see state senators talking excitedly about MLS. That is a huge step forward.

Edit: to make me sound less annoying (tough ask)

I will take an MLS team anyway the come.

I will not fall for jw7 and his negative nancy assumptions.

That is what he does best. It is actually kind of endearing, especially when you talk with him in person and you can do the "waaaah-waaaaaaaa" sound in your head.

LOL.

Jeff- you going to Tampa at all this season?

I'll take whatever team, be it MLS or the defending NASL champions.

Agreed.

Support what we have.

Fight for more.

Yep, I'm the only one being "negative" about the lack of planning in the planning process Rook...

"I think there are a number of things that are very troubling about this proposal, there are alternatives that make more sense and we ought to pursue them instead of rushing through a bill that has been in the works apparently for some time but not gotten very much public scrutiny till just the last several days," Hann said.

Rook has been in attack mode lately, living in the Northern Florida swamps will do that to ya after a while.

Sorry Rook, I grew up during a time when we actually questioned things. I guess the high school and collage teachers of today just don't teach that kind of thinking anymore.

I bet you do hear a lot of that "waaaah-waaaaaaa" sound in your head everyday Rook. That is the same sound a sheep makes.

The point is, JW, that you're pretending you are the lone voice of reason and that everyone else in the world has Zygi's face and a non-retractable roof tattooed on their asses. A brief glance through any of the words in this forum will show that most people have already registered our skepticism. What should we do, stand around and whine to each other?
Being skeptical, doesn't mean walking around and pissing on everyone. And being hopeful doesn't mean we're idiots.

When I see something I disagree with I say something, just like you are now.
I have also been on both sides of this issue.
No one pissed on anyone, no one called anyone an idiot.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

is my soundtrack when i walk into a room and teach kids useless facts.

funny, thats the same thing i think while im teaching and my students are not listening to me.
