Atlanta United is off to a good start as far as celebrity fans are concerned.
Ludacris was spotted at the team's logo unveiling wearing an Atlanta United scarf, which makes him officially the coolest person to ever put on an Atlanta United scarf.
Hopefully Ludacris can inject a little swagger into the team after the dud of a name "Atlanda United" was announced.
Over the weekend L.A. Galaxy newcomer Steven Gerrard did something that should set him on the path to becoming as much of a Galaxy legend as he was at Liverpool: he bought the fans beer.
The internet is flooded with highlight videos. A player simply has to be young, talented, and make a couple cool plays in a season for someone to string those plays together in iMovie, throw some banal techno music over it, and produce one of them. I say this like I hate them, and in many ways I do, but I also cannot deny that watching these videos can be about as addicting as it gets.

After a lackluster season with Villarreal, it appears Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos is looking at a move to the MLS.
His representatives has reportedly initiated talks with the LA Galaxy, although spokespeople for the franchise and the MLS have so far denied any interest in the Mexican.
As Major League Soccer grows, so too do the rivalries and competitive spirit within the league. The attractiveness of MLS has grown every day since its introduction to America in the early 90s with the help of world-class players retiring to the league.
In case you missed it, the LA Galaxy slaughtered the Portland Timbers by a commanding scoreline of 5-0 to jump ahead of them in the Western Conference.
Goal three came in the 32nd minute, after Robbie Keane delivered a beautiful feed to Robbie Rogers, who first-timed his shot after rounding from outside left. While increasing an advantage during a league MLS game doesn’t seem that newsworthy, this goal happened on a special night to the right person.
The anticipated rivalry between Los Angeles FC and LA Galaxy, set to begin in 2018, is off to a rip-roaring start.
The Golden State Warriors, who are owned in part by Peter Guber, just won the NBA championship. Peter Guber is also part-owner of LAFC, so some congratulations were in order from the MLS expansion franchise. That congratulations came in the form of a tweet.
Yikes. Seattle Sounders 2's Sergio Mota did a bad thing. A really bad thing. The bad thing he did was kicking LA Galaxy II's Adrian Vera in his crotch with both feet. Mota was rightly sent off, although that probably won't stop Vera from seeming a little jumpy and talking in a high-pitched voice than usual for the forseeable future. Getting hit in the nuts hurts. Getting kicked in the nuts, with two, cleated feet, must be the worst feeling in the world. Adrian Vera is pretty damn tough if he kept playing after that.
Given Sebastian Giovinco’s impressive form of late, can he be the spark that finally leads Major League Soccer’s most maligned and disappointing club to the playoffs?
