NEW YORK - An unsatisfied Major League Soccer (MLS) Commissioner Don Garber watched the replay of weeping Oakland Athletics fans as he claimed, “this could’ve been Columbus,” as he verbally decimated the owner operators in Major League Soccer for denying him this pleasure.

“We were just a few months away from this,” stated Garber to the collected billionaires. “You could taste the depression, sadness and apathy in the air.”

Sources say that Garber ranted and raved as he slowly realized his inability to sample the abject sadness that comes from having a club ripped away from your city by an indifferent billionaire.

“The possibility was there,” stated Garber. “I would sup at their misery with a straw. It could’ve happened. And now every trophy that they win I have to stand there as they boo me when all I wanted to do was increase the profit margin of the league by decimating local soccer in one very small geographical area.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Garber eyes San Jose with malicious intent.
