Besides, other than sharing the name, the two sports are vastly different, so it's like saying Georgia has too many baseball fans so hockey will never take off? <BR/><BR/>Georgia has just about 90,000 registered soccer players (adult and youth), who knows how many unregistered, and tens of thousands more who are not actively playing.

No sane person is willing to drop $250 million for land, a stadium and infrastructure and franchise fees with almost no hope of recouping the investment. This is American football country down here and it will never change. Don't you hear the dawgs barking?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
