MLS officials announced that the league would expand by 4 teams [[to 24) by 2020. Later in the article it mentioned that Detroit is one of a handful of cities where someone has proposed locating a franchise [[possibly a reference to the proposal for the jail site).

I would love to have a club in Detroit. To make money on building a soccer stadium, it would be a long-haul venture. But I think Detroit could support a team. I would put a stadium on Woodward just north of the new arena, and it could double as a college soccer field.

I don't support the proposal to put it on the jail site, mainly because I don't think that investor group has the resources to pull it off.

What would we call the team? How about the Detroit Arse-Kickers?

PS: Soccer players have great legs. Could watch 'em all day. And they haven't reverted to the almost-long-pants of the NBA, which is one of the reasons I don't follow basketball much anymore. Boy, in the 80's, nobody had legs like Adrian Dantley.
