NEW YORK - Sources within Major League Soccer (MLS) indicate that the league is considering moving Nashville SC to Austin, Texas after running into an impasse with the construction of the stadium for the new franchise.
“Not good… not good at all!”
“Between this and the lack of local interest the league is just considering moving the team,” stated one MLS insider. “There’s a lot of problems they didn’t expect with Nashville and they figure that all of those problems will be fixed by a bunch of young people with money who live in Austin. Those people don’t care how they get a team, and now they can have two!”
Sources indicate that there is another team that will start soon in Austin but according to our sources this detail will not stop the move from happening.
“They will just have two teams in the area. Financial surveys indicate that there is a wealth of wealth in Austin and the league plans on getting some of that wealth. Plus what’s the worst thing that happens…. they destroy a wetlands to build a stadium? No one is going to care.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Nashville SC continues to soar.
