The Virtual Terrace • Re: New York are bolted on...

I don't think I can open a closed or malicious mind, all I can do is use my reply to point out the realities for those with open minds and good hearts. Each silly post that suggests clubs with no substance or alleged clubs that can only talk about what they will do in the future, or above all any post that refuses to acknowledge SKY don't want a Transatlantic League, does deserve a courteous, fact based reply.

Not because these people will see the light of day or change their minds, but because the idea of expansion is something we have all craved for and grasped at for decades and too many great RL fans actually want to believe this stuff, better to explain it than attack those who cheerlead it, and in any event the RL press cheerlead it to death as does your hated TotalRL.com. There's no discussions on there, they live the American dream every day despite the facts. and despite the first fan poll on this that places 4 out of 5 fans unimpressed by the American Dream.

RL journos often complain of not being able to get answers or interviews out of the RFL or Superleague, but realists like us equally don't get answers from the Journo's and RL rag editors who seem to cheer everything NY, Ottawa and TWP do? No searching questions, no analysis, just praise for this new dawn. Do they also "want to" believe" this stuff?? Perez sat there a few years ago and said "we will bring you new players and TV deals" McDermott stood there a few weeks ago and said sorry, we won't bring you new players and TV deals. Yet no comment from the RL rags. Weird!!
