"The team fired its American head coach L.J. Hepp in March after he was unable to convince three American players to stay in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami."

How extremely petty of the team.

Anyway, can't they try to find a way to RAISE the money instead of simply putting their hands out and asking fans to save them?

Can I purchase them for 1-Man and become CEO? Actually, that's probably way too high for this bunch of losers!
