Remember back when we first discovered the USA had a cricket team, and that they won a major upset in the Cricket World Cup?
Well, things are escalating on the "is this even America?" front.
Now, Major League Cricket (MLC) is getting a U.S. stadium all its own.
That's right!
The San Francisco Unicorns, one of the league's founding teams, will finally have home-field advantage.
The San Francisco Unicorns?
The cricket team is calling the Oakland Coliseum home because, and I quote …
MLC picked the Oakland Coliseum because it's the only stadium in North American big enough for a cricket field.
And do you know why there aren't any other stadiums big enough to host a cricket match?
Because cricket is not an American sport.
One of my favorite parts of this story in the original article is when the USA's best cricket player, Saurabh Netravalkar, explained their win at the World Cup.
'So it was a really close game. It was tied on scores. And that went to a Super Over. It's like a penalty shoot-out in soccer. And that over was balled by me,' says Netravalkar with a big smile.
He explained it in terms of soccer.
Soccer!
So there you have it: Irrefutable evidence that cricket is not just un-American, it's un-American and gay.
