Orlando, FL - Commissioner Don Garber announced, today, that FC Dallas are eliminated from the 2020 MLS Playoffs after withdrawing from the MLS IS BACK THE TOURNAMENT.

“As the group stage counts toward regular season,” stated Garber to a Zoom Conference Call, “we can officially announce that FC Dallas will not be making the 2020 regular season playoffs which will ABSOLUTELY happen at some point this year.”

Fans in the Dallas area were disappointed at the situation as FC Dallas made the playoffs 5 out of the last 6 seasons.

“It’s pretty gutting,” stated sports fan Jacob Hannover. “But if the league is too afraid to play with our natural COVIDvantage then they shouldn’t get to experience the true freedom of shopping at a grocery store without a mask.”

Analysts say that this is just a byproduct of attempting to lend a sense of gravitas to an unusual situation by tying it to something that wasn’t guaranteed to happen as soccer historian Davd B. Burnham stated, “I can’t believe they thought this would actually all happen. They thought everything was going to just …. go on…. during a pandemic….. without a hitch? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok, but about this so called regular season….”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as FC Dallas just considers pulling out of whatever the regular season will be as well.
