Would Chad Johnson be good for the MLS?

[ndj101982]

Just wondering what everyone thinks of Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson trying out for an MLS team right now. Personally, I think it would be good publicity for the sport. People follow him and it could attract positive publicity for a professional sport that is really struggling to break through in the United States. I believe that someone like Chad Johnson could attract the fans that David Beckham was thought to be able to attract, but couldn't.

He won't attract any additional fans. It will make for some good youtube videos at best.

He's followed heavily on Twitter and likes his face on television. I think it would help somewhat.

If David Beckham didn't help, I don't think Chad will help.

Van Smack sez...

Just change his name to just Ochocinco, have him grow his hair, and teach him to fake injuries every time he gets bumped by another one-named, mullet-wearing, injury-faking loser that guzzles Capri Sun.
