Ochocinco Leaves Football to Play Futbol!


By way of ESPN, Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver, Chad Ochocinco, has been asked by a Sporting Kansas City(a MLS soccer team) to participate in a game this Monday against a local squad.

Ochocinco has previously mentioned his desire to play soccer rather than football and response has started a four-day trial with Sporting Kansas City's reserve team this past Wednesday. It has been reported that Ochocinco's lack of play, as far as soccer, showed at yet one of Sporting KC's spokesman, Dave Borchardt stated, "This is not unusual", continuing on to report that Ochocinco will be playing in Monday's game.

Meanwhile, Ochocinco went ahead and stood ground for his love for soccer and his seriousness in his decision to play...
There are a lot of people who question how serious I am about it. But for those who know me, who know my background, this is where it all started.
Ochocinco went on to explain his departure from football, explaining that his return will be when football owners and players work out their differences. In response to Ochocinco's comment, Bengals' coach, Marvin Lewis said...
What has he ever done that he's completed? What circle has he ever connected in any way?
And of course, all of the drama came around full circle when Ochocinco responded in a Tweet...
Marvin Lewis won't say anything bad about Carson Palmer, stays kissing his ass, but disses @ochocinco daily #smh
Who will be watching and rooting on Monday?
