There Is Only One Sinnacle

When I was growing up there was actually such a thing called the Canadian Soccer League. I remember one of the teams were called the Calgary Kickers. Even as a kid I knew this name was just wrong. What pot smoking hippie did the Calgary Kickers hire to come up with such an awful name? If Winnipeg ever gets another NHL team I’m sure they won’t name them the Winnipeg Wrist Shots.

It’s not a shock to anyone that the Canadian Soccer League is no more thanks to such awful names. Watch this clip below of the Edmonton Brick Men against the Vancouver 86′s. If you watch all 8 minutes of this clip I’d give you a hand as it was 7 minutes more than I could get through. Notice the empty seats by the way.

Maybe if they had African football names the league might of been around for awhile. You have my personal favorite Hearts of Oak, then such names like the Kaizer Chiefs (good band too), Real Republicans, Simba FC, ASEC Mimosas with a ton more. Everytime I read about an African club I think that is a kick ass name. Someone should license those jerseys and sell them over here. Someone will and I’ll complain about it for years after. Til then just wanted to tip my cap at all the unique football clubs in Africa.
