NORTH AMERICA - Representatives with Orlando City SC, the Montreal Impact, the Seattle Sounders, the San Jose Earthquakes, and Sporting Kansas City all took credit for the development of Canadian Champions League winner Alphonso Davies on Monday.

“It was against us that he received his first minute of league play,” stated representatives with Orlando City. “Clearly without this his development never would’ve happened in the first place. You could see his speed from the very start.”

Meanwhile representatives with the San Jose Earthquakes stated, “It was against our team that he had his first Foul Conceded. Clearly without this development he wouldn’t have turned into the premier speedy fullback that he is today.”

In response, the Seattle Sounders claimed enhanced status over other teams as they stated, “It was against our team that he obtained his first assist. Without this his game would suffer and he wouldn’t be a modern fast and speedy fullback. We can clearly see the development that happened with him in our ranks.”

For their part, representatives with Sporting Kansas City claimed a heavy hand in his development as they stated, “It was against our team that he learned to foul in a cynical fashion. Against SKC he was forced to obtain his first yellow card. That in combination with his speed. Just his absolute speed. So Speedy. Much Speed.”

Finally, representatives with the Montreal Impact also claimed their hand in the development of the new Canadian superstar as they stated, “C'est contre nous qu'il a obtenu son premier but. La clé finale de son puzzle. Nous devons tous voir comment nous l'avons aidé pas comme les autres. SPEED. VERY SPEED. SUPER SPEED. MUCH SPEEEEEED. SO SPEED.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as more teams figure out ways to tie themselves to Alphonso Davies.
