This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I hope/expect them to incorporate the flag. by No Right Turn on Red
It was used heavily in the promotion for "MLS 4 The Lou," and I'd be surprised if it wasn't carried over.
I am little worried about the possible name of this team. I hope it's not something boring like STL United or STL FC or Gateway FC or something like that. I'd prefer something like Steamers or Ambush (old indoor teams here, look at that Steamers' logo). Rhythm would also be a cool name, given the Stanley Cup winning hockey team here (St. Louis would be the home of the Rhythm and Blues). Same with The Spirit. The NFL expansion team that was stolen from us 26 years ago was going to be called the Stallions, so that'd be a nice FU to the NFL, but if you're going horse-themed, Clydesdales is the obvious answer. If you stick with the natural disaster theme of Fire and Earthquakes, you could probably go with St. Louis Flood, but maybe not Riots. In the goofy side, What High School Did You Go To FC is the clear winner.
