League Celebrates 13 Years Of MLSPU Salary Numbers And 13 Years Of Owners Denying Them

The semi-annual release of the Major League Soccer Player Union salary numbers for each player in the league has now coincided with the desperate attempt by league ownership and investment groups to dispel the numbers and re-frame the information as wholly inaccurate for 13 years now. 

T.R.E.A.M. - Tam Rules Everything Around Me, Garber Dolla Bill YA'LL!

"We just want people to know, again, that despite our desire to not actually release any of the numbers themselves that the only numbers you see every year, twice a year since 2007 are completely false," said a collection of owners at a high top mountain chalet conference in Patagonia for Bentley Ownership in North America.

"Categorically we are here to tell you that the only data that you ever have had for salaries in our league is false. Also, we will not give you any of the correct data because fuck you. You, the fan, don't deserve to know anything about what we pay for anything. I mean we leak incorrect numbers in regards to compensation for transfer fees, acquisitions, stadium expansion, and franchise expansion all the time. This is nothing new. In summation, pay us our money and stop asking questions."

Journalists celebrated the 13 year milestone by saying, "oh great, not this time of year again" with some admitting that they just reflexively put "numbers aren't correct and just an idea of what is going on" so that they don't get yelled at by owner operators of the MLS franchises that they cover.

"It just isn't worth the time to argue about them anymore. I mean, they are likely very accurate, but the owners say they aren't and the fans are supposed to be completely stupid and in the dark about anything financial with this league, so really we, the journalists, don't have anything to go on." said Dave Tedway of the Chicago Trumpet.

The Nutmeg News talked to several players on the league minimum, to verify this side of the story.

"I don't know what they are on, the number is absolutely true. I mean, I'm not counting stealing breakfast from the training room and getting a per-diem when we visit Orlando City as a benefit to my salary" said one anonymous player of the Chicago Fire.

"Yes, compared to Carlos Vela, or your regular mid level accountant, I'm broke. But I guess at least I get all the free advocare that I can stomach. I mean $50,000 goes a long way in the New York/New Jersey metroplex" said Connor Brandt

While the players, fans and media are all tired of the constant stupidity that happens every year around this time, the owners remain steadfast in their ability to shrug off the criticism.

The Nutmeg News sent an request to the front office of Major League Soccer in regards to the published numbers and received the following response.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as it happens for the next 13 years.




Atlanta United Insist That All Lives Matter At Their Unity Night

Atlanta, GA - Atlanta United today struck back against online critics of their Unity Night promotions on Twitter and Facebook as they insist that, “All Lives Matter at Unity Night.”

Hey, where did all the Unity jerseys go!

Atlanta United spokesman David Rawlins stated that the criticism was way off base as the Twitter account, Website and Facebook account of the team showed where they stood.

“Here we do things differently. Where other teams may celebrate their fanbase in ways that would… um… fracture the fanbase, here we try to unite the fanbase. That was the genesis of Unity Night. We are going to Unite the fanbase under Unity night showing that Atlanta United isn’t just for one loud group or another, but all groups. All lives matter during Unity Night”

Oh, there we go! Unity flag’s for everyone!

Critics of the promotion indicate that it appears that Atlanta United is doing just about everything in their power to reference their promotional Pride merchandise as anything but Pride merchandise as on all their platforms, save for the Major League Soccer run webshop, the Pride merchandise is referred to as Unity merchandise.

“If we just reach out to people of a … hmm… different lifestyle that might anger some of our long term fans of a … um…. different lifestyle to the people of a different lifestyle and … um… certain sponsors,” stated one anonymous employee. “It’s important for us to come together, in these days, and have a Unity Night for everyone because WHO DOESN’T LOVE A RAINBOW PRi… ER… UNITY JERSEY PRICED FOR THE LOW LOW COST OF $59.99!”

Online Troll Farms Hiring As World Cup Begins

INTERNET - Online troll farms targeting fans who enjoy women’s sports announced that they were hiring as the World Cup begins June 7th.

“We MUST tell these people how stupid women’s sports is," stated troll farm director Vladamir Stepnovich. “Everyone knows that Women shouldn’t play sports except for Foxy Boxing and jello wrestling.”

According to the advertisements, Troll Farms are looking for angry men between the age of 12 and 99 who hate women, want to make people feel awful and feel the need to anger as many people as possible by shitting on their interests. “Come join the troll army dedicated to making other people as miserable as you are in your day-to-day life,” stated one advertisement on a White Supremacist Facebook group.

For their part, fans of the World Cup and women’s sports say this is all part of the package.

“Every single time the world cup comes around there’s an increase in idiots online,” stated writer Kym Blanchard. “My World Cup experience wouldn’t be complete without men in my dms telling me that I’m worthless, asking for nudes, telling me to delete my account, telling me to kill myself and telling me that no one cares.”

The troll farms admit that it’s an easy recruitment process as they stated, “many men in the United States and abroad are very angry for no good reason. What better thing to do than to load them up with hatred towards women as a way to tell the world to fuck itself in some kind of nhilistic and impotent rage. We also do recruitment for people that want more of an alt-right presence online. Generally if someone is fine spending the good portion of their day telling people that women’s sports sucks, they are only one youtube video away from ranting online about Muslims invading their country.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as desperate and angry men continue to embarrass everyone, repeatedly.

“It’s fine. I’m fine. Yes, I’m still planning on watching the World Cup,” stated Ms Wright to The Nutmeg News. “My friends have gone to a better place. They believed. They prayed. They sacrificed. They were chosen for a low interest rate credit card offer. In France they will eat and drink and be merry. Everyone will be dressed in the finest of polyester robes and personalized kits. They who are alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet Janice at the top of the Eiffel Tower. I’m fine. Seriously.”

According to herself as she stated it 26 times during our interview, Ms Wright was, “totally fine, seriously. Not jealous at all,” as she cat sit for 3 different friends heading overseas.

Man With Too Much Money Buys NPSL Team

Hoover, AL - Reclusive billionaire James Edward Stanfield announced that he was purchasing an NPSL team in an to utilize the net operating losses of Hoover Atletico United SC against his taxes in the future.

“I need a guaranteed financial loss generator,” stated Stanfield to The Nutmeg News. “And nothing is more guaranteed to lose money than lower league American soccer.”

Stanfield reportedly engineered the purchase of Hoover Atletico United SC after sending over a pizza to the shared apartment of former owner Roger McGraw.

According to friends on site at the shared residence, McGraw did a jig and screamed, “Someone wants to buy this? SOLD. SOLD. SOLD. SOLD.”

Publicly, McGraw stated that he would miss the shared development and participation with the community that he treasured and fostered despite the insane debt that he ran up on a total of 3 credit cards and a personal business loan over the past 4 years.

“Thank you for everything, Hoover,” penned McGraw on his way to his new job as a programmer for Amazon.

For his part, Stanfield stated that he planned on heavily investing into the structure of the team as he stated that they would have a new and very costly rebrand of their uniform and badge.

“This process may take YEARS to develop, but I’m very confident that eventually I’ll be able to claim all these losses, soon,” stated Stanfield.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Stanfield forgets about this purchase until his accountant asks his assistant about it next year.

In an interview with himself via a bunch of questions and answers posted to his Facebook page, Norman indicated that he felt like his time with Liverpool was at an end as the team won the Champions League this season.

“It’s been a tough but successful last two years,” stated Norman. “I feel that with the Champions League victory that now is the time for me to really explore my love for Christian Pulisic and all things Pulisic as a blue for 2019/2020. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to Liverpool so I plan on giving away all of my fan gear on my e-bay page at 5% off if you purchase two items.”

For their part, the Liverpool fans world wide are handling the departure of Norman with great aplomb as they repeatedly asked, “who,” when we interviewed them for this article.

Team Loses Despite Supporters Best Attempt At Singing All Game

Portland, OR - Despite Timbers supporter Bethany Sharp’s best attempt at singing all game,, the Portland Timbers still lost on Saturday to Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) 3-2.

“I thought that I would have more of an impact on the game,” stated a vocally hoarse Sharp to The Nutmeg News. “Hell, I thought that WE would have more of an impact on the game.”

Sharp stated that she watched as the Timbers gave up two goals in the first half of the game despite her shredding her vocal chords after a season of inactivity.

“I encouraged everyone around me to sing,” stated Sharp. “I spent almost the whole match singing. I waved a flag. I’m not certain there is anything more that I could do. I spent most of the game trying to figure out what else I could do, and I don’t think there’s anything else.”

For comparisons sake, TNN reporters spoke to LAFC fan Sandra Flores who stated that she was ecstatic that her singing all game brought LAFC to victory as she exclaimed, “There was a moment where I was worried, but they clearly heard us and me specifically on the field. If it wasn’t for us, the team would’ve lost..”

For her part, Sharp stated that she would just try to be more vigorous in her flag waving and singing during the next game.

“Clearly we just need to go 1% more in order to get a victory. I might even sacrifice an animal like they used to do in the Old Testament.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Sharp places a craigslist ad for a live goat and Flores celebrates the victory by proclaiming on Twitter that, “WE WON IN PORTLAND. AND SHOWED THEM WHAT’S UP”.

Unable To Win CONCACAF Champions League, MLS Teams Look To Leagues Cup

Unable to win the CONCACAF Champions League, many Major League Soccer (MLS) teams admit they are looking to the newly formed Leagues Cup as a bid towards international relevancy.

“Winning the Leagues Cup will really ensure that people know that our best teams can take on individually selected teams from Mexico playing away from home with a weakened roster in a single elimination knock out round competition,” stated one MLS executive.

“Just imagine if Cruz Azul had to play in front of 20,000 people at 4,500 feet of elevation,” stated on Real Salt Lake insider. “They are lucky they were drawn on the other side of the bracket. Teams like Cruz Azul and Tigres are just going to be out of their comfort zone playing in these types of environments.

Nutmeg News reporters spoke to MLS Commissioner Don Garber who stated, “This eventual Leagues Cup victory will show the world that teams from the United States can stand shoulder to shoulder with the giants of the game like Barcelona or Real Madrid or Tigres. This victory will really show which league is the Champion of the CONCACAF region without being the CONCACAF Champion because we know that tournament is rigged. We expect that the Leagues Cup will become the Leagues Cup Of Choice in just a matter of six months and with the eventual victory we will see an uptick of interest in the league in the United States and that other country that has teams in this league.”

Sources with the Independent Supporters Council (ISC) indicated their level of excitement with the upcoming tournament when asked about the newly created tournament.

“We’ve been asking for clarity with the fan conduct rules, advocating for a fair treatment for away and home supporters, trying to fight against the incursion of hate groups into the league, lobbying for increased transparency as it relates to the league structure and rules, and looking into the escalating price for supporters at games so we are entirely THRILLED to have another redundant, expensive mid-season tournament created from thin air that will require the participation of the paper thin squads in Major League Soccer.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the final features two Mexican teams.

Soccer Fan With Collection Of Supporters Group Stickers Still Waiting For Perfect Place To Use Them

LOS ANGELES - Galaxy fan and Angel City Brigade member Javier Gutierrez admitted that despite his extensive collection of supporters group stickers that he is still waiting for the perfect place to use them as his collection grows with each passing week.

“I’ve been getting stickers for five or six years,” stated Gutierrez to The Nutmeg News. “I haven’t found the right place to use them, yet. Every spot looks great, but then… if I think about it… I’m not sure I want to use a sticker there.”

Gutierrez indicated that he thought about using some on his car, but he wanted to avoid getting it vandalized by opposition fans. He then indicated he thought about putting them on his computer, but no one would ever see that and it does get dirty there on the floor.

“I thought about putting some on my girlfriends car, but she doesn’t really care about ACB. I thought I’d use them when I traveled for a game, but I just can’t afford to go anywhere right now. I thought about putting some on my thermos, but I don’t know…. I just didn’t want to cover it up.”

Gutierrez stated that since he hasn’t used any of the stickers he’s received recently that his collection has started to pile up.

“Yeah, I got a whole drawer full, now. It’s crazy. Nearly every time someone is handing one to me or I’m buying one, or I just come home with some stickers. One of these days I’m going to find something that deserves to be tagged with all these stickers. My big problem is some of the stickers I thought were slick a few years ago are now something I wouldn’t put anywhere so I have these stickers that I used to like that I don’t like, but that I don’t want to use because I can’t get them again.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Gutierrez places one sticker on a notebook he has and feels immediately regretful about using that one there.


"Only A Billionaire I Know Nothing About Can Fix The Problems With Our Team This Other Billionaire Created," States Soccer Fan

LOS ANGELES - Newcastle United fan Sam Dewalt stated that he was simply fed up with the ownership of Mike Ashley as he exclaimed, “Only a billionaire I know nothing about can fix the problems with our team this other billionaire created.”

Dewalt, like most Americans, glorifies the acquisition of money over any other valuable in life as he stated, “You don’t end up being a billionaire without being smart and a good businessman, except for Mike Ashley.”

According to fellow Newcastle fans, Dewalt spent most of his week looking up other worldwide billionaires that expressed interest in English soccer teams as he attempted to ferret out who could fix the problems with the team that Ashely created.

“All it will take is someone with vast sums of money to purchase the team and for the new ownership to completely wipe out the debt and buy a boatload of great players” stated Dewalt. “We just need to find a really cash flush billionaire who can fix all our problems with one fell swoop.”

According to his Facebook page, Dewalt spent the last two months deriding Manchester City for purchasing the title while also advocating for the removal of Ashley and the appointment of literally anyone with any vast sum of money that would be interested in “Making Newcastle Great Again.”

“I said it once before during the 2016 elections and I’ll say it now. You can really trust a businessman who successfully runs a business and makes billions of dollars to altruistically look out for everyone else. All I’m asking is for some trickle down economics to pull Newcastle United up by their bootstraps.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Dewalt continues to be an idiot.

Chicago Fire Desperately Exploring Every Possible Relaunch Situation Other Than Having An Ownership Group That Knows What It Is Doing

CHICAGO - The Chicago Fire stated to reporters recently that they were exploring every possible relaunch situation with their franchise other than having an ownership group that knows what they are doing as they pushed forward to paying more money in relocation fees than most MLS teams will spend on a roster over 5 years.

“It’s gotta be the name and the stadium, not the fact that the General Manager and the Owner of the team seem to regard the fans as a nuisance.”

“Yeah, we are looking at a rename, a new mascot, new kits, new badge, new fans, new location, new … well… everything except for the ownership group that helped get us here in the first place,” stated one anonymous Fire employee. “Precourt….. er… sorry…. Hauptman really is all in on holding on with this strangulation death grip until this team hemorrhages money in every direction as they thrash about trying to recapture what they had in 1998.”

According to league representatives, every possible situation is on the table with the Fire except for Hauptman actually not being owner anymore as they try to figure out why the fans seem to not care.

“It’s got to be the stadium,” stated one league insider. “Not the fact that the ownership actually antagonized the fanbase repeatedly and had them removed from the stadium while insulting their intelligence and passion as fans until they didn’t show up. It HAS to be the stadium, or maybe the name. Maybe if we rename the team Chicago United SC everyone will forget that the current ownership has put one of the worst teams in the league on the field repeatedly over the last few years and figuratively spit in the face of many of the long time fans of the team until they felt like they couldn’t , in good conscience, attend games that they had already paid to attend.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the new Chicago United FCSC Wanderers Rovers Atletico tells their fans to go screw themselves, but… you know… NICER this time.

Worldwide Scholars Announce That Literally Everything About Soccer Fans In The United States Is The Worst

Scholars from across the world announced today that literally everything about soccer fans in the United States is the worst as they released the results of a 10 year study.

Here a scientist tests whether organized groups of fans in the United States can even call themselves supporters.

“We spent 10 years looking at the traditions, habits, songs, chants, associations, coaches, players, kits, stadiums, T.I.F.O, choreography, supporters groups and teams in the United States,” stated German researcher Klaus Schmidt. “What we were able to determine unequivocally is that literally everything about soccer fans in the United States is the worst, regardless of which team they support (internationally or locally) or how a fan chooses to participate.”

The data from the team at the International Football Research Society (IFRS) in Zurich showed that even if you remove the judgment of rivals, haters and trolls, that the base American soccer fan is filled with 200% more cringe inducing moments than even the worst soccer fan in Europe.

“We were able to find hard data about the various songs your so-called supporters sing and they are all rated as the worst thing any fan in England, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, or the Netherlands has ever heard” stated Mr. Schmidt. “By every single European, English, or Balkan metric, no fan in the United States should ever sing, much less attend or care, about soccer. Literally everything Americans do around the game is 100% full of what you call cringe.”

Schmidt indicated that the research didn’t differ on whether fans were supportive of Major League Soccer or an overseas league.

“We thought there would be a different variable based upon the kind of fan that supports a franchise in Major League Soccer versus a fan that supports a team in La Liga,” stated Schmidt. “Instead, what we found is that while we acknowledge the utter terrible nature of the league, there is absolutely no difference in our metrics. The amount of sanctimonious bullshit expelled by fans of European or far-flung leagues weighs statistically as much as the amount of sanctimonious bullshit expelled by fans of their local franchise. As the numbers prove, there literally is no way for an American to support any team in the United States or abroad correctly.”

For his part, Schmidt stated that he feels for soccer fans in the United States, but indicates that if you are a soccer fan there, you need to acknowledge that the whole country is built around Cultural Assimilation and Appropriation of other peoples work into a new-money, cringe inducing display of faux-bravado.

The Nutmeg News will have more as soccer fans in the United States label the entire report as, “TOTAL BOLLOCKS, MATE.”

Manchester City Victory Allows Area Man Bragging Rights Over Guy At Work Who Might Like Soccer

NEW YORK - The victory of Manchester City on the last day of the Premier League allowed Thomas Price ultimate bragging rights over the guy at his work who might like soccer.

“Thomas, could you please get me that report on the first quarter when you are done stretching?”

Stating, “Who’s on top this time! City is on top!” to a very confused receptionist, Thomas marched into work on Monday morning with a feeling of accomplishment and superiority to co-worker Kamal Hughes who Price noticed had a soccer website open one time when he was leading the meeting during a google hangout last weekend.

“I don’t know what club he supports but whatever club it is, it isn’t Manchester City, champions of England,” stated Price to The Nutmeg News. “I brought in a new t-shirt that I purchased from the official club store to pin up in my cubicle so he knows the truth. He’s probably a Liverpool fan and laying low. He should lay low. I’m just going to linger by his cubicle with my Manchester City coffee mug to really show him what’s up.”

The Nutmeg News spoke to Mr. Hughes who stated he has no interest in soccer, that he remains a basketball fan and that the website being open on his computer was the result of his nephew who is an avid fan of Neymar,

However, this truth did not stop Mr. Price from strutting around the corridors of his office space like everyone there actually knew anything about the Premier League at all.

“City is champion and everyone else can suck it,” stated Mr. Hughes as his co-workers discussed who the Knicks would take in the draft in their company chat online.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hughes sets up his computer to automatically be playing the Manchester City trophy lift as he shares his screen on a webinar he is teaching regarding product integration.



MLS Announces Chick-fil-A As Soccer For All Campaign Sponsor

NEW YORK - Major League Soccer announced, today, that religious chicken restaurant Chick-fil-A would become the Soccer For All campaign sponsor as the league broadly touted their commitment to equality.

“See! You guys had it wrong all along!”

“We believe soccer isn’t just for Gay and Lesbian people,” stated league commissioner Don Garber. “But as well, it is for Baptists, Catholics, Protestants and … um… others.”

Sources within the league indicate that the executive committee of MLS felt that their previous “don’t cross the line” campaign was too restrictive in keeping them from crossing the line.

“They felt that Don’t Cross The Line meant that they couldn’t partner with a restaurant that literally donates money to organizations that teach an anti-lgbtq message,” stated one anonymous MLS staff member.

League sources indicate that the executive committee and Don Garber see no problem with Chick-fil-A’s $1,653,416 donation to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a religious organization that requires its employees to refrain from “homosexual acts”.

Garber himself stated that the league would donate a sum of money from games during the month of June to the Paul Anderson Youth Home, a Christian residential home that teaches young boys that same-sex marriage is a “rage against Jesus Christ and His values” as Chick-fil-A did in 2017.

“It’s important for our brand to be aligned for our sponsors and this Paul Anderson Youth Home sounds just lovely! Who doesn’t love youths and homes,” stated Don Garber.

For their part, the restaurant plans to use the sponsorship of Major League Soccer to make more money off the backs of gay and lesbian community that it so desperately seems to want to stamp out.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as this probably actually happens.



Cover Band Playing After Soccer Game Worried That Opening Act Won't Bring Enough Fans

Des Moines, IA - 80’s rock cover band SpiderWarz indicated that they were concerned that the opening act of Des Moines United v Rockingham Atletico FC is not going to bring enough people to their upcoming gig.

“They created a Facebook event page, but honestly… there’s not that many people RSVPing,” stated lead singer David Lee Hoth. “I’m guessing that they are going to rely on walk up ticket sales.”

Sources within Des Moines United indicate that the club had a bunch of friends RSVP to the upcoming game so they were certain they would show.

“Yeah, I’ve heard that one before,” stated Hoth. “Honestly, it’s looking like they are charging too much for their cover and we are going to be stuck with another gig where we are playing for each other by the time we close out the set.”

With an uptempo set based upon Guns N’ Roses, The Scorpions, Motley Crue, and Poison, SpiderWarz is hoping to retain the few people that do come out to see the opening act.

“They asked us to backline the gig and we are just waiting for confirmation that they are going to be quick with the soundcheck and tear down after their set,” stated Hoth to our reporter. “Hopefully we can get on stage and really start rocking so that we don’t lose everyone who is probably tired of sitting for that long.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hoth notices Des Moines United sneaking out during their second song.

Area Man Starts Regressive Politics Supporters Group

LOS ANGELES - Tired of what he indicates is, “progressive politics being shoved down my throat,” Los Angeles man Chad O’Neil started a regressive politics supporters group for Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) aimed at people who want to support soccer, hate socialists, defund all social programs, ban Muslims from the United States, make Americans speak English, chant homophobic slurs at players, and yell racist abuse whenever they want.

“FREE SPEECH! FREE SPEECH! I don’t like that fact that when I attend soccer games that I have to cover up the fact that I believe in the free-market, a small government, religious freedom for Christians, the prophecy of The Battle of Armageddon, and that women don’t deserve to make choices about their body,” stated O’Neil. “I miss the days when the stands were full of my brothers, we could yell whatever we wanted, and all of our team names were caricatures of indigenous people that this country ritualistically murdered because God told us to do so in our relentless expansion to the sea.”

Stating that his reaction was purely based on what he sees as the intolerance of the left to his political positions, Mr O’Neil stated that he was done being polite.

“These cucked lefties just want everything for free and for me to tolerate their lifestyle,” ranted O’Neil. “I demand an equal space where I will not be hassled in the stands so that I can tell these safe space special snowflakes what is wrong with their world view with visual displays that indicate that their politics, heroes and life are of no value to anyone with a moral compass based upon watching 4300 hours of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as O’Neil just goes back to watching the NFL and complaining about, “outspoken athletes that don’t know their place.”

We Might Be About To See The Second Ever Photo Of A Black Hole Above The Vancouver Whitecaps Headquarters

VANCOUVER - An announcement next week by an international collaboration might contain the second photo of a black hole's event horizon over the Vancouver Whitecaps front office headquaters.

Scientists with the international Event Horizon Telescope project indicate that they first noticed the possibility of a black hole above the Whitecaps front office when questions sent to the Whitecaps about their culpability in the cover up and investigation into abuse claims, claims of hiring a coach with a history of racism, and allegations of a silencing abuse claims over the past 11 years were not returned.

“Clearly any organization involved in these claims would want to clear their name and show their desire to make things right,” stated head researcher Angela Davis. “So given that we know that to be true, there can only be one possibly reason why there’s been virtually nothing coming from the Whitecaps. Yes, a black hole that is so large it is sucking all communication, information and fun out of the area.”

Fans say that this makes sense as their repeated entreaties for a response grounded in admission, acknowledgement and amicably resolving the issue has been met with outright dismissive attitudes, terse responses or nothing at all.

“We’ve been walking out of games for weeks now,” stated one Southsiders member. “I just thought the Whitecaps were ignoring their fans as the attendance numbers plummet and B.C. Place turns into a morgue, but maybe it’s just a super-massive black hole!”

We sent an inquiry to the Vancouver Whitecaps about the situation but received no response thus showing that there is, in fact, what appears to be a black hole destined to eat the entirety of western British Columbia and possibly the world.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the blackhole eats away at Bob Lenarduzzi’s career.

USL And NPSL Teams Hit Up Forward Madison For Money After $25,000 US Open Cup Windfall

With the 3-0 victory over El Paso Locomotive, USL League One side Forward Madison received a $25,000 bonus from US Soccer for being the last Division III team in the tournament which resulted in the Wisconsin side receiving a number of phone calls regarding financial help from a multitude of disparate teams in the USL and NPSL.

“The ink wasn’t even dry on the novelty check, yet,” stated Forward Madison Flamingo In Chief Ronald “Ronnie” Anderson. “Suddenly everyone we hadn’t heard from in 20 years was calling us asking how we were doing.”

Madison reportedly fielded calls from teams like Upper Irvine Trash Compactors FC, Lansing Disbanded, Punxatawny Hogs, and even teams from it’s own division such as the Eastern Georgia Bricklaying Troubadours, a team for singing tradesman.

“It’s amazing what a novelty check for $25,000 will do for your popularity,” stated Mr. Anderson. “Suddenly it was, ‘haven’t talked to you in a long time, but oh we have roster issues that a few ten thousand dollars might help,’ or, ‘we can’t afford soccer balls,’ or, ‘‘we can’t travel on the next leg of our USOC matchup,’ or, ‘I have a brand new idea that will revolutionize the training skills of teams in Peru,’ or, ‘the Chicago Fire really could use $25,000 so why don’t you just GIVE us the money.’ We can’t afford to give to all those causes and help ourselves at the same time.”

Forward Madison’s approach to utilizing the money revolves around turning half the grandstand area at Breese Steven’s Field into a Flamingo retirement facility for aging and vulnerable Flamingos.

“It’s important for us to support the people and animals that supported us getting into this crazy business. We aren’t called the aardvarks for a reason, those stingy bastards.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this when the US Soccer Federation check doesn’t clear.


Florida Soccer Soldiers Battle Through Independence To Prepare For Invasion Of Iran

Charlotte, NC - The Florida Soccer Soldiers battled through their recent clash against the Charlotte Independence as the amateur side defeated the USL Championship side in a US Open Cup wargame to prepare for the upcoming catastrophic disaster known as the Invasion of Iran.

HOORAH!

“They came out in a phalanx,” stated Independence manager Jim McGuinness. “After a pitched battle, one of their men went down, but they hung around and delivered blow after blow.”

The Soccer Soldiers stated that they were simply working on the organization and techniques they will need for the upcoming and all-consuming war with Iran as they looked forward to another 16 year war with no ending date.

“We’ve always been at war with Iran,” stated Soccer Soldier PFC Sanders. “This battle against Independence really taught us about working together as a team, and that will come in handy when we are sent in on the front lines of the coming global conflagration.”

With tensions rising, the Department of Defense would not confirm or deny using the Soccer Soldiers on the front line, but the men prepared for the upcoming campaign as though they would go, regardless.

“We must be prepared, whether we are battling on the streets of North Carolina or the streets of Tehran,” stated Sergeant Suazo. “Regardless of where we go, the Soccer Soldiers will be ready, I can guarantee that.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the war drums continue to beat.
