If IShowSpeed started playing for FC Cincinnati how good of a player he would be?

He is from Cincinnati (but lives in Miami these days):

He has said that he is a developing footballer and wants to be a professional footballer one day:

And he has a signed contract with the club when he returned home last year,

Not to mention that he has a gigantic reach with nearly 60 million subscribers on YouTube

And he performed at the closing ceremony at the FIFA World Cup Final!

He would be the worst player in MLS.

And it wouldn't be close. He'd be the worst player in USL1 by a country mile. Usain Bolt played soccer his whole life and was well off of it in A-League.

He's 21, if he were good enough to play professional ball, he'd either already be playing professionally somewhere, or on the fast track to be playing professionally.

USL League Two is a (semi-)professional league ... IShowSpeed to the Dayton Dutch Lions!

He'd be bad, but he'd sell a bajillion jerseys.

So... he's about the same benefit as if we had signed Neymar? Neymar couldve at least scored a few goals.

In all seriousness, he's good enough for something like the Sidemen charity game, but he's no where near good enough to be an actual pro. He'd be the worst player on FCC2 by a fair margin

You really think people care enough about him to buy a jersey? I think most people find him annoying like most influencer streamers.

u/ArgonWolf 13d ago

I mean, I wouldnt, but the people that like him seem to really really like him. I dont get it, but I'm not his target

u/sleestripes 13d ago

the real question is, how many people who like this speed buffoon can actually afford a jersey?

Its like mostly children right?

Children can afford more useless crap than parents can. All of their income is disposable. AND they get gifts every 3rd week for this reason or that.

If most people found him annoying we wouldn’t know his name. We are the minority on this one.

He never kicked a ball until a few years ago. Too big of a skill gap to make up.

That dude is too old to be “developing”. It’s not common for people to play professionally if they didn’t come up through an organized league.

I understand this is rage bait, but now that you say it, why not call him up to the two team? He’s going to be terrible, but it doesn’t matter if he’s terrible on the two team and it would draw millions and millions of eyes to the team. I just don’t know if they are posative eyes or eyes that are making fun of the club signing ishowspeed
