I know the league needs cash, but they should have told this guy that one bad nickname based on a drink is one too many, let alone two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_grateful_ted Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Breaks my heart... this attempt at rugby in the US looks sadder and sadder every day. Maybe some day it won’t be a laughingstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Adam Gilchrist is the name of a very famous retired cricket player and this seemed wildly off brand for him, so I'm glad it's some other moron with more money than sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much as an USL team which costs around $30 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 This is offensive to anyone named Gil or has the last name Gilchrist or anything similar. I petition that we call this team the LA Rugby Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like half their teams are doing really well and pulling in some solid revenue, and the other half couldn’t pay fans to be in the stands. Not sure how much longer they can keep this up, there’s only so many teams to name after alcoholic beverage sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
