Don't worry, it's just a threat

In an attempt to calm the firestorm over rumors that the Kansas City Wizards will be moved elsewhere next year, Clark Hunt, son of Wizards principal owner Lamar Hunt, told the K.C. Star that while "I think every market has to hope it has a soccer-specific stadium ... I don't think it's necessarily a make-or-break. ... Lamar's statement was intended to quiet the concerns. Just reading some of the headlines, I'm not sure it did that." Added Wizards fan club leader Sam Pierron: "They're not going anywhere. ... I think it's all an attempt to help garner public monies to build a soccer-specific stadium."
