As of recent, due to the NFL lockout, Chad Ochocinco tried out for Kansas Cities MLS soccer team. After a five day try out, he actually made the reserve team. I am speechless to say the least. Yes he has the speed, but soccer the skills are lacking, seeing as he hasn't played since he was in high school.
Dave Borchardt, the clubs spokesman, said, "He realized he's not good enough to make the team and play in games. This way, he gets to be part of the soccer locker room, which is a dream come true."
Now we all know soccer in America isn't as popular or nearly at the level as it is overseas, but I feel like it's becoming a joke. Don't get me wrong, I would love for this to work out in Chad's favor, but lets face it, he is an American Football player, not a soccer player. Check out this interview with clips of him playing.
Who knows what's next for Chad's soccer career. Hopefully it works out as a back up plan, but stick around to find out!
