Yes I do remember that Miami fans tend to only ride with winners. It's sad to see because I've been a Phins fan most of my life, imagine my disappointment when I moved to Miami and found out I was a bigger fan than most residents.

I hope you are right and I agree that MLS has a better chance of succeeding here given our limited Pro-sports offering. Still waiting to hear the official announcement.
