AIG is good for soccer

So yesterday's post was fun.

It involved a lively and spirited debate in the Comments section, which we enjoyed reading because we're nerds, and nerds enjoy debates both lively and spirited.

As mentioned yesterday, we can see both sides of this thing. We're sure there's lots more to debate on this subject but no matter which side you fall on the clear winner in this case is soccer.

Yes, that's right. The most popular sport in the world that isn't popular in America could benefit from the AIG madness.

Behold, at right, the jersey for Manchester United - one of the UK's premiere football soccer clubs. Obviously, AIG is a mega-sponsor and since the US taxpayers now own 80 percent of it, who knows if the the logo on front will change to the American flag?

That would be a huge coup for soccer, the proponents of which have tried everything to make it succeed in this country except give Americans millions of dollars in bonuses to attend games.

And who knows? If the patriotic new logo doesn't work, that might their be plan B.
