An open letter/request to Mayor Sly James

Sporting Kansas City and FC Kansas City have earned Kansas City a new motto (if only temporarily).

Dear Mayor James,

I know that you, like many of us, take great pride in Kansas City and the achievements of our people and the teams that represent our city and region. Last week, Kansas City had two professional soccer teams earn championships. It is rare enough for a city to be represented by one team being crowned as the best among their competition, yet we had two teams accomplish this on consecutive nights.

Last Wednesday Sporting Kansas City traveled to Philadelphia to play in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Final, one of the oldest competitions in this country.
