“Absolutely. Look, I had the experience of losing my home team when I was born in Houston. Of course, I've lived my whole adult life in Austin, Texas, but saw The Oilers demand tons of money from Houstonians. And when Houston wouldn't give that extremely rich owner a bunch of money, they packed up and left. The Oilers were a great team and they should have been able to stay in Houston. I also have the experience, though, a positive experience, of bringing Major League Soccer to Austin, Texas.” (02:23–02:35)
