Ruud Gullit uncovers MLS conspiracy
Ex-LA Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit has revealed that the evil geniuses behind Major League Soccer are deliberately keeping a lid on soccerball to avoid damaging true American sports. Comments made to Reuters about a Major League Soccer conspiracy have had some onlookers questioning the state of the former Dutch international’s mental health.
Gullit said: “David [Beckham, not Duchovny] is more than just a football player and I think he does extremely well to give football here a lift, but I doubt if they [MLS conspirators] really want that. I think they are afraid of football because it’s so popular everywhere around the world. I think they will just control it so it doesn’t become more popular than their American sports.
“They will never allow that. Some sports already have had a bit of a dive so they don’t want American football to become less popular, or basketball or baseball.”
The truth is out there. Perhaps Gullit could team-up with ex-Chelsea team-mate and David Duchovny lookalike Dan Petrescu and get to the bottom of this once and for all!

October 15th, 2008 @ 16:47this is a joke right?
October 15th, 2008 @ 18:36how do people come up with such idiocy, and why does soccer lens pass it on as if its actual news?
bruce – the joke’s on Gullit, btw, not the MLS
October 15th, 2008 @ 19:00It may sound outlandish, but it’s undeniable that the sporting establishment and mass media in the US resents the intrusion of soccer into the red white and blue redneck psyche. 14 years of MLS and it’s just a blip on the electronic landscape. Even ESPN is holding its nose when telecasting MLS games.

You gave it your best, but the team had no defensive talent and failed. I wish you well when you manage in the future.
When the MLS has their own stadiums and can play games during the regular world soccer season they will be able to attract more players from europe on loan and gradually improve in quality. It’s not a conspiracy – it’s the marketplace…
