I've Pissed Off My First Reader

Someone didn't take kindly to my dissing of Salt Lake evidently. Evidently, this little blog lacks the breadth and scope of a New York Times or The Sporting News.

Well, no shit.

However they do send me to a Real Salt Lake fan site where I read the following.

Major League Soccer has agreed to let Checketts explore St. Louis "as an option" for relocating his team, according to league sources. In the St. Louis option, Checketts - who owns a National Hockey League team in the Midwestern city - likely would sell the team to a group led by attorney Jeff Cooper.
...
League spokesman Dan Courtemanche declined to comment Tuesday on RSL, but acknowledged MLS has "had discussions with potential owners in St. Louis for the better part of two years." Noting that the group had some 20 representatives in a luxury suite at the 2006 MLS All-Star Game in suburban Chicago, he added, "They're serious."

Gee, Real Salt Lake possibly moving to St. Louis. I wish *I* had said that.

Oh yeah, that's right, I did.

UPDATE

Oh and then there was this from Steve Goff at the Washington Post:

So all hell has broken loose in Salt Lake City and this little kickball experience might be heading toward a salt-watery grave. RSL wants the city to help with stadium infrastructure costs. City isn't interested. Suburban types don't seem to care either. Dave Checketts is very mad. Seems he might pull out of Utah and take his toys elsewhere, perhaps St. Louis. Don't worry, the Commish has got Checketts' back, saying, "As we have said many times, Real Salt Lake cannot be successful long-term without a new stadium. In that regard, Real Salt Lake is no different than any other professional sports team in America. I will meet with Real Salt Lake owner Dave Checketts to review the options in light of this decision."

Someone should tell Goff that, according to some guy in Salt Lake, he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.
