After much hype and attention, Chad Ochocinco actually made his training debut with Sporting Kansas City. There was a live video of his performance, and he apparently didn’t embarrass himself, but also admitted to being humbled by the experience. If you’re interested in finding out all the nitty-gritty details, you should probably check out The Daily Wiz, SB Nation’s Sporting Kansas City blog, who actually attended the training session.
Chad Ochocinco Makes Training Debut With Sporting Kansas City
As a fan of MLS, I have some mixed feelings about this little venture. On one hand, this has a lot of potential to turn into a distraction for a team that is just getting started a 10-game road trip to start the season. But the harsher reality is that this team could use all the attention it can get.
The reason for that grueling 10-game trip is that SKC is still putting the final touches on Livestrong Sporting Park. To put it simply, SKC should be doing everything in their power to make sure everyone within a reasonable distance is well aware of their existence. Sure, bringing in a NFL player for a MLS trial may seem a little bush league, but this distraction is drawing far more headlines in far more prominent places than Omar Bravo’s sparkling debut ever could. It may be unfortunate, but that’s the reality MLS is living in.
