Eurofication of Kansas City’s pro soccer team continues

The Kansas City Wizards professional soccer team is now known as Sporting Kansas City. At the time the rebranding was announced, team officials scoffed at the suggestion that the franchise was trying to look and sound more European. “This, to us, is not European whatsoever,” CEO Robb Heineman said, presumably before he donned a beret and drove home on the left side of the road.

While denied, the Eurofication of the team formerly known as the Wiz continues. The team recently let it slip that BBC correspondent Callum Williams will present, er, call Sporting KC games on television during the upcoming season.
