Philadelphia Union already needs a makeover

We’re nine months from first kick and I’ve already got a complaint about the new Philadelphia MLS team.  Philadelphia Union?  Hell, even a simple FC Philadelphia sounds better.  I’d also settle for Philadelphia Athletics or Philadelphia 1776.  Unfortunately, the massholes already took Revolution but surely there’s a better name than Union.  When I watch the beautiful game, I don’t want to be reminded of hard work, The Jungle, or Frank Sobotka.

Shut Car Dealers Impact Baseball’s Tomorrow

By Diane M. Grassi

“See the USA in your Chevrolet…,” was once as much a theme song for the American leisure lifestyle as it was an advertisement for one of General Motor’s (GM) most celebrated automobiles. And not to be overlooked is the relationship that the auto industry, and more specifically GM, has forged with Major League Baseball (MLB) over the past many decades.

A Sports Medley

By Trevor Freeman

Have you ever had a bad case of writer’s block?  So much so, that it was beginning to affect your overall personality?  For the last week, I have been hashing article ideas out in my head.  I wrote a bunch of first paragraphs on a variety of topics but could never close the deal.  Then it hit me.  It was time to take these random thoughts and once again come with “A Sports Medley”.

Permanent Transit

“Everything passes, everything changes, just do what you think you should do.” – Bob Dylan, — To Ramona

The blank page is a void we must fill.

The empty stadium is a palace we must glorify.

The abandoned, snow-dusted field is just cause for melancholy.

I saw a great movie once, one line always stuck out, more than the others. “Nature’s cruel, Staros.”

Nature’s cruel. The two characters talking represent the dualistic nature of man. Yeah, two thumbs up.
