I’ve always felt Sacramento truly deserves an MLS team, but if it happens this way by uprooting a club that has existed since 1974 and is a part of the Cascadia rivalry, I would be utterly disgusted. MLS should be seeking ways to differentiate itself from the other North American major leagues, not mimicking them. I hope Vancouver stays put and Sacramento finds a different path to the top flight. Lastly, if this move actually happens, it leaves a massive question of what becomes of the Sacramento Republic? I'd hate to see a new team move and essentially displace them. If it is the other option of essentially the Republic taking the place of Vancouver, that is not right either. I just want to say this is great piece.
