This kind of brinksmanship went on for years in San Jose, both before AEG ownership and after. It left fans wondering how much they should commit emotionally to the team, which impacted attendance. AEG is what, 1/4 of this league? They essentially sent the letter to themselves, probably as a way of pressuring Houston (the city of) to fund a stadium. They weren't interested in paying for it in San Jose. I doubt they are any more willing to do so in Houston. Nice job MLS on once again crapping where you sleep.
