In case you haven't heard, Major League Soccer just sold out. Literally. Red Bull just bought a majority stake in the MLS's biggest franchise, the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and beginning next season the team will be renamed - I shit you not - Red Bull New York.
I'm not joking. A professional sports team's name has become a corporation. I guess it's not such a far cry from the European teams that have corporate logos all over their jerseys, gear, and stadiums, but at least they have the decency to not completely transform for a few bucks. God bless America - taking sports and corporate whoring to all new levels...
