Chivas USA is Here and Going Nowhere, So Get Used to It

If I had a nickle for every time somebody told me, "Chivas USA is a failure," I'd have enough money to get by for some time. If you follow me on twitter, you know that I periodically gnash my teeth at the kinds of comments I get from non-Chivas fans, people who may or may not even watch the team ever, yet who believe they can tell me not only why the team I follow is a failure, but what the team should do to "fix" said failures. One of the common refrains is that Chivas USA is a "failed" club, and either needs to fold or to move far far away, changing the name and wiping away any connection to the history of the club to this point.

This may be an obvious point, but
