A few weeks ago, Jimmy Conrad, the Sporting Kansas City/Wizards Legend and veteran defender of 27 caps for the US National Team, including two appearances in the 2006 World Cup, toured Pinnacle National Development Center. Opened in January, Pinnacle is Sporting Kansas City’s training center as well.
The world-class, first-class, everything-a-player-needs-and-more facility prompted Conrad to say “And you wonder why players may feel entitled.”
Indeed.
But Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes “… don’t have time for that.” Not during preseason. Not during the season. Not in the run for advantageous playoff position.
