“What Hunter and his employees are hearing from the Latino community is painfully obvious, but not easily deliverable under the MLS structure. He speaks of getting a player who will help “move the needle.”

“They want players from Mexico that are young, that are exciting on the field,” Hunter said. “If I could wave a magic wand, they’d say, ‘Well, next month bring us (Omar) Bravo, (Ramon) Morales, (Oswaldo) Sanchez.’ And then you’re a smart guy. As you know in MLS, you just can’t make moves like that.”*
