Promising start in New York City, except for the FC
It looks like the 20th MLS team will be Manchester City FC. The name will be changed, of course it will. MLS plus ManCity -- plenty of expensive brainpower involved in that discussion, one would
think -- have decided that the new club is to be New York City FC. Which is fine. Except for one thing. You will not win any prizes for working out what's wrong with it, and I shall return to the
matter later in this column.

"I seriously felt like a coward. These kids are standing up for themselves and changing the world, and I'm 25, I have a platform and a voice to be a role model. How much of a coward was I to not
step up to the plate?"
-- Robbie Rogers, saying his decision to return to soccer came when he spoke to a group of about 500 kids at a Nike Be True
LGBT Youth Forum in Portland two months after he announced he was gay and retired from soccer. (USA Today)
