New Seattle MLS Franchise Could Have Dumbest Team Name Ever



Seattle's new Major League Soccer club may be taking a very intelligent approach to building their roster, but if the rumors spreading around the web are true, this club may end up taking on one of the dumbest team names in sports history.

According to Kenn Tomasch, who is regarded as a reliable source on American soccer matters, the new Seattle club is planning to call itself ... wait for it ... the Emerald City Greens.

Yes, that's just what MLS needs -- a team whose name sounds like a golf course. Or a regional brand of spinach. Maybe Popeye will be the official team mascot. Plus, there's no way anyone would mistake Emerald City Greens for any sort of recreational substance. Of course not. Pay no attention to that innuendo behind the curtain.

"Hey, you got your environmental policy in my soccer! No, you got your soccer in my environmental policy!"

Two tastes that really DON'T taste great together.
