Could Major League Soccer kick the city where it counts?
It usually begins by playing the game, or attending a match, Don. The more relevant question: How is it you've managed to avoid the world's most popular game for so long? Is this a culture war issue to you?— March 15, 2017 12:26 a.m.

I think it is eminently safe to state that Bauder will not read it.— March 15, 2017 12:18 a.m.

How disengenuous! The economic impact study purports benefits not only as to stadium. It includes economic activity aroound housing, hotels, retail, entertainment, office space, tourism, and related employment too. If the UT's piece was puffery (and you were a doing journalism) you might have challenged the details. Here you've merely reduced the scope of the study to one piece of the economic generators (stadium). That big stink? It's your clumsy axe grinding.— March 15, 2017 12:12 a.m.

You can dislike, oppose, suspect, object to soccer or the FS plan all you like as your editorial choice. Distorting facts or not bothering to check them sufficiently, then stubbornly standing by the errors makes this a hatchet piece. I see some accurate corrections noted within in this comments thread above and below, but you don't acknowlege them or have the decency to suggest you'll have a second look. A lot of your facts are wrong.— March 15, 2017 12:02 a.m.

Bald, generalized curmudgeonly cynicism is no substitute for fact checking, portending of knowledge, and care for truthfulness. Your piece IS wretched. And your hatchet dulled. You owe yourself and San Diego a revisit and proper effort Don. You are (I think) better than this.— March 14, 2017 9:37 a.m.

Don, this is a poorly researched, poorly written hatchet piece. I'm left wondering what is the conviction behind it? A good old midwestern disdain for the world's game as it grows in stature, popularity, quality and yes profitability in our country? I encourage you to revisit your points made, only do a little more research this time, check your facts further, and refrain assuming negatives that "could" happen (i.e. hidden subsidies). Please. San Diegans deserve better editorial journalism (even when free). At a minimum, a modicum of accuracy will be appreciated.— March 9, 2017 9:55 p.m.
