Top Ten Ways you can tell Hunt already “OWNS” the Burn |
1 | MLS Confidential | “All three teams are operated by the Hunt Sports Group…” in reference to KC, Columbus, and DALLAS. |
2 | SLC | Would the Burn be out of the Cotton Bowl if they were not in the Hunt stable? After 6 years of losing money in the CB, why now all of a sudden is moving to SLC to save money so imperative. |
3 | Frisco | HSG man on the spot, John Wagner, is negotiating with Frisco (and McKinney for that matter) on behalf of MLS. |
4 | Jeffries | Hunt blocked Chicago when they wanted to interview Jeffries for the Fire job. |
5 | Office Move | Burn offices are moving. Are they being consolidated with HSG offices in Dallas? Even if the move is only cost cutting it still smacks of Hunt. |
6 | Earnie Stewart | Would the Burn have gotten a sniff at Stewart without an “owner”? Doubtful. |
7 | Hunt Tour | Star-Telegram reported 1/29 that Hunt personally toured SLC Stadium. |
8 | Demo Games | Would the Burn be playing a Demo game in OK, if Hunt wasn’t the owner? Only a current MLS investor, who wants to get more investors, would travel “his teams” to play. |
9 | South Africa | Hunt team (Wiz) are going to South Africa. Burn are just short of final confirmation they are going to South Africa. Coincidence? I think not. |
10 | Cheerleader tryout | Ok that is a joke, but it terrifies me. |
