Haji Wright Rejects MLS To Join The New York Cosmos

 

 

Good move for the New York Cosmos, could turn out profitable for them and good pr in the meantime. Hope he pans out.

Ha, maybe.

However, this is indeed good for the league. After losing Minnesota, the NASL finally strikes back.

The Cosmos getting their stadium deal done before NYCFC will be the ultimate stabilizer for the league.

Wright got his choice of where he wanted to play and I'm sure that it was one of the factors why he signed for the Cosmos and not MLS. I don't think that it's anything compared to Gretzky in the WHA, because Gretzky chose between WHA and OHL.

Wait, *that's* the flaw with the comparison?

Oh and the fact that one was a one of a kind talent.
