Soccer’s the new poker, if the talk around the poker table last night was any evidence. Seems all the kids wanna talk about is soccer — pardon, “football,” though I am not about to take that shit from a guy born and raised in Dallas who really oughta know better. Anyway, the day after I discovered that soccer’s the new poker, I also discovered that it has officially Jumped the Shark: A Friend sent along that Pitchfork piece that, sooner or later, got us to the Adidas-Major League Soccer “MLS Represent” FC Dallas page, where we were greeted by … no, really? … the Polyphonic Spree’s theme song for the Hoops. And it’s called … uhboy … “H-O-O-P-S Yes!”
Plenty of other folks are doing it: OK Go’s got one for the Chicago MLS team; the Rapture is livin’ it up on Broadway; Mike Jones cut one for the Houston Dynamo; etc. And while I dig the Spree just fine, they are, alas, no Pantera. Or PPT. Listen for yerselves. –Robert Wilonsky
