(Quote by - Harry Reid)

I wanted young kids to have the opportunity to idolize pro players the way I idolized the North American Soccer League players, I volunteered with the committee in Dallas, and when the committee resigned itself that they couldn't get a team and closed up shop, we went to work and negotiated the contract for the Cotton Bowl.
