Orlando City and its hearty, rain-logged, goal-starved fans should take the advice from the town's other major pro team — the Orlando Magic.
They know how to get through the expansion blues.
"Be patient, be patient, be patient," said Magic senior executive Pat Williams, the club's first general manager. "Don't rush the process because you can't."
Whether it's the NBA or Major League Soccer — and I realize some comparisons can be apples/oranges — growing pains are part of the process.
In fact, when it comes to first-year voyages, the Lions share common ground with the Magic.
