Nashville, TN

Things aren’t looking good for the Nashville Sounds to be in Nashville much longer. Metro Council has cut off paying the team for upkeep of Greer Stadium.

If you’re a sports fan, this news should be of a major concern to you. Heck, if you’re a citizen of this area, this should be a major concern to you. I know that it’s “just a sports team” but if we lose the Sounds, that’s a major blemish on your fair city. The Nashville market is too small to support a major league team, but surely we can find a way to support the minor league team–one that is the farm team of an up and coming big league team and that has had some success within it’s own league the past few seasons.

Letting the Sounds wither and die would be a huge mistake. And think about this–there are people who depend on the Sounds for their livelihood and will be out of work should the team have to fold up its tent and move elsewhere.

It’s a shame…a huge, crying shame that this is even a possibility.
