Sounders go XBox Live

Major League Soccer's next new club, the Seattle Sounders FC, announced that Microsoft would be their official shirt sponsor and previewed the kit with "Xbox 360 Live" emblazoned on the chest.

I'm not going to get into the whole debate surrounding shirt sponsorship and should they be featured so prominently on the jerseys. Mainly because it is a debate that I care very little about. Soccer haters in this country often point to it as somehow un-American. For them, I have six letters N-A-S-C-A-R.

More importantly, does this mean that MLS can finally get decent representation in the video gaming industry, beyond EA Sports throwing a league a bone? What ever happened to that shitty game ESPN MLS Extra Time? I think it was a Konami game, so they could use a winning 11 platform.

This game is lame
