SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!

To fully understand the Las Vegas sporting world you'll have to take off your rose colored glasses and pretend that this city is problem free. Let us imagine that this years rebel football team will be unstoppable. I believe. Let us cast aside any doubts of not having a championship basketball season. And, for the most part, never, ever give up hope on having a professional team of any kind out here. Yes, we believe. Umm, to a certain extent that is. Most professional athletes are well off. Micheal Jordan, Tiger Woods, Charles Barkley have all been out here spending their hard earned cash. So why isn't there a major sports training facility here in Vegas? There's the Tarkanian Basketball Academy that used to play host to professional as well as many high school and college up and commers. But, nothing for those football or track or baseball or soccer players wanting to train for the next level. On any street out here there is a home up for sale or in foreclosure. On any major business street out here there is a business that went bust. There is desert all around us. Can we please get some architects in here to design a facility that will bring this city the big athlete moolah? Or am I ahead of myself. All people need a sport. Most people have a sport they love. Vegas does not have to choose just one to support. What happens here stays here. If we want to get in bed with 3 or 4 sports at a time... don't judge us world. We just wanna be loved too. And we should be. We're definitely sexxxy enough. We are also a city full of hidden talent. Everybody is glued to the TV watching the World Cup, wrapped up in all the excitement. Did you know that Las Vegas has an adult amateur soccer league? The Las Vegas Major Soccer League was started in 1965 and has since been an affiliate with the United States Soccer Federation. They are responsible for bringing amateur youth teams from Texas to Canada here to Las Vegas to compete in major tournaments. Many of their top players have played on levels from college to the MLS. And it's non-profit. Can we hire Tom Cruise to recruit on of these high paid soccer players to build us a soccer training facility? SHOW ME THE MONEY! These young athletes are hungry for success. Maybe I am ahead of myself. So let me go back, back to my highlight youth team/coach of the week. The soccer season for the Nevada Youth Sports has just ended but I would like to take the time out to tip my hat to a couple who have been coaching not just soccer, but flag football, baseball, and basketball for nearly 10 years. Brian and Linda Gay are Green Valley residents known in the NYS circle for taking on coaching as an experience for each child. Throughout the years they have dedicated their time and resources to making sure that each child willing to play any sport has that opportunity. It is not an easy thing especially since they have 4 boys of their own. Two of which just graduated this year. Congratulations young men. We look forward to seeing you continue the legacy your parents have started. And if you happen to see any big time athletes along the way, tell them Las Vegas is lonely. Sigh! You've just got the scoop. Stay tuned for more...
