Darn Rules Keep Getting in Jason's Way

Former Dallas Burn/FC Dallas scoring star Jason Kreis couldn't keep his goal scoring record from being broken, but he is having no trouble breaking MLS' rules.

i think i may have gotten him in a little trouble this week by asking some MLS folks if it was ok for an MLS coach to wear a lapel pin featuring a competitor of the League's exclusive apparel supplier.

Adidas is supporting the League that supports Jason's family to the reported tune of more than $100 Million over ten years. Makes one wonder why he would pimp their biggest competitor on the sidelines?

The Nike lapel pin was clearly visible in several sideline shots, but can also be seen ten seconds into this video

Since Jason has taken over as Head Coach last season, RSL has had a hard time following rules. Last year alone RSL was accused of breaking League rules at least three times:

* Tampered with Dallas goalkeeper Jeff Cassar - fined $20,000 and lost a 2009 2nd round pick to FC Dallas.
* Wore away uniforms at home without receiving League permission - fined $10,000.
* Accused of tampering with New England Revolution's Shalrie Joseph.

RECORDS are made to be broken Jason, not rules.
