But much more importantly, the Kansas City Wizards have been awarded the "Kraft Global Team Fair Play" award. Now this news will come as no surprise to dedicated MLS watchers. Since the award's inception the Wizards have dominated the competition, winning the coveted fair play trophy an unparalleled four times in a decade.
So how have the Wiz faired in the years that they were deemed the fairest of MLS teams? In 1998, their innaugural fair play title campaign, they finished 12-20, sufficient for last place in the Western Conference. Then in 2002 they compiled a 9-10-9 record, again good enough for last place in the West. Three years later K.C. put together a blistering 11-9-12 record, missing the playoffs. Finally this year the team gutted out a 10-14-8 campaign, once again failing to qualify for the post season.
Perhaps they should rename it the "Kraft Sucks Major Ass" award.
