The American Dream, reality TV show style
By VictorM:Once in a while a one in a million opportunity pans out. I'll let the Almighty Bruce tell you all about it:
One of the best stories in all of MLS had some very cheesy beginnings. Before the 2007 season Chivas USA teamed up with Univision's Sunday morning sports show Republica Deportivo to bring us a "reality" show in which young men competed for a place on the Chivas USA roster. Most of us thought it was a pretty heinous idea. A lot of players showed up to try out and after several weeks of eliminations one man, Jorge Flores, was named the winner. His reward was to be a contract with the team etc etc. No one expected anything to come of it. But hold the presses, this kid could play. He impressed the coaches and his teammates everyday in training, and in the end they gave him a real full time contract... [He came into] Saturday nights game against DC as a late sub and helping his team crank up the energy and get a big win. He finished it all off by scoring the final goal in the 3-1 win. Unbelievable story. I could not be happier for Jorge Flores!This is America. Now... who says a black man or a woman can't be president? Only fools!
