That can't help the league's credibility.

I actually wouldn't mind the name so much if it wasn't name after an energy drink.

On the plus side, it's always good to diversify ownership in the league. This single entity crap needs to go. On the minus, we now have a team named after a freaking energy drink. I wonder if the players will drink Red Bull instead of Gatorade at half time. Could be fun watching 10 players run around like they're hopped up on crack. Of course, Tony Meola would just be moving like a normal person now.

It's seems interesting to me to have european based ownership of a team.
