Idiot of the Day: Carlos Villagomez
By VictorM: Notwithstanding David Beckham's signing, the success of soccer in America continues to be an uphill battle. In an effort to contribute to that success, Major League Soccer's (MLS) Houston Dynamo team is looking to built a soccer specific stadium in or around Houston. One of the bidders is the city of Webster. City Councilman Carlos Villagomez said this recently about his support for the bid (emphasis mine):"Soccer is a big sport, especially here in Texas," Villagomez said. "It's getting hot. Every time they've had a soccer team come to Reliant Stadium, it's a sellout. I think soccer is going to be bigger than football."Come on. Statements like this just aren't helpful. That's just an idiotic statement, specially for someone from Texas where some high-school football games draw more fans than many MLS soccer matches.
Mr. Villagomez, please help the Dynamo get a new stadium, but sir, keep your mouth shut about the sport -- you don't know what you're talking about.
