English soccer does something that I think that someone in our American sports world needs to do. Have seperate leagues, and the top guys move up a league...the bottom guys move down a league...and the middle guys stay.
Well, Reading is getting their shot. After 135 years of playing, Reading finally moves up to the English Premiere League for the first time [that's the league that Manchester United plays in]. And Red/White Sox fans thought they had it rough!!!
This team has been around since 1871...but only now gets to play with the big boys. In current American sports terms, only the Cincinnati Reds was founded before this team [and that team went dormant for a decade]. So, imagine the Reds never, ever, ever, ever, ever, getting to the playoffs until now.
