Take this with a grain of salt, but Chad Ochocinco is saying that he’s been invited to train with Sporting Kansas City as long as he wants and is now an “honorary member” of the team. It’s not immediately clear what that means, but one would assume that there’s no reason to expect to see Ochocinco suiting up for a MLS match anytime soon.
Chad Ochocinco Says He’s Now An ‘Honorary Member’ Of Sporting Kansas City
This is so awesome I'm an honorary member of #SportingKC and can train with the reserve team as long as I want. Totally awesome #ILuvKC

Ochocinco made his playing debut with SKC on Monday in a reserve game against a PDL side. He didn’t exactly embarrass himself, but he didn’t exactly make a strong case for making the team, either.
This moves seems to indicate that SKC at least feels like his presence in camp is a net positive. By all accounts, he’s been treating the trial with respect and he has been humble when dealing with teammates, coaches and the media. More importantly, perhaps, this has proven to be a public relations success for SKC, a team that has long struggled for attention and is now preparing to open a new stadium, Livestrong Sporting Park.
