A Decent Response!

After some mild heckling, our friends at Dick's Sporting Goods finally stepped up to the plate late yesterday afternoon.

On the heels of a restructured sponsorship agreement which calls for even larger involvement with MLS and new involvement with US Soccer, I decided to email the Investor Relations Department.

I figured this department would be able to give me a more accurate representation of what was going on, especially if I mentioned that I was a shareholder.

Here is the full response from Anne-Marie Megela, the Director of Investor Relations:

"You should expect to see new and additional DC United, as well as other MLS merchandise in the DC stores in the next few weeks. We are expecting to deliver an entire new assortment of MLS team-specific merchandise into each of our MLS markets at the beginning of the season, including DC United in Washington, DC."

Hooray!
