: AIDS is not a viable marketing strategy for sports teams
In the USA our big soccer/football league is called Major League Soccer, or MLS. In this league there is a team called Chivas USA who are best known for being the Los Angeles team that Beckham did NOT play for. They are also the "little brother" team to the very popular Mexican team Club Deportivo Guadalajara (who's nickname is Chivas, or goats in Spanish). Both teams are owned by the same man.
However, Chivas USA is nowhere near as popular as it's big brother team. Lately it's been averaging 6000 or so per game (the much loved Seattle Sounders average 30000 or more a game). The folks over at Big Soccer have been discussing the reason for the team's low attendance.
A few posts in a user named djkas14 comes in and enlightens the plebian fans as to the true problem with Chivas USA. (Unfortunately, djkas14 was banned like so many prophets before him, and his posts were deleted at the same time. However, he was quoted quite a bit so his words are still present to enlighten us all.)
( It's all in the name. )
So there you have it. A short and silly wank to start off your week.
ETA: I'll probably be making minor spelling / grammar and formatting corrections for the next few hours.
ETA 2: We've been spotted!. And Darkwing387 wants a plaque to commemorate this event if possible.
