This team will fold in about 2 years once his sponsors realize it's just
a bizarre team concept (to teach underprivileged kids how to become $12k
dreamers?) Wouldn't they make more money as drug dealers?
Thanks,

Dislciamer: By no means is this a discriminatory post, since I have a
well documented history of beating down the white man (and white trash
woman - The Lizard).
if you ask me it's also fucked up that the team named after him can't
even afford to pay him to ride for them. who do you think the
"hitters" are that he's got lined up?
does fast freddie have a contract for 2010?
nevermind, it looks fairly lame, and bahati has indeed decided to hire
himself

Well, I can tell you that Nathan O'Neill and Cesar Grajales aren't riding for
free. Where the money is coming from I don't know. These people have no
concept of sponsorship in that they think title sponsors will come to them
once they create a team and they are using Bahati's name because you can put
"USPRO national champion" next to it and blue chip sponsors don't know the
difference between a crit and a road race (most sponsors will think Bahati is
probably going to be the next Lance when everybody in the sport just knows
that's not true). But unless they get an invite into the Tour de France or a
enter into a love affair with a Lavender Boy Doug Ellis, I don't see where
the money will come from to get this team more than halfway through the
season.

Yeah Bahati is on the team because he thinks Rock won't pay him enough. Rock
finally found out that winning Downer's Grove is pretty much a meaningless act
in cycling unless you did it the way Mike Engleman did it ( a climber who broke
away and stayed away - a proverbial bitch-slap to all the fat crit pros).
But Bahati's big mistake which will come back to haunt him....was his failure
to consult with me for the team name. Given his squirrel nest lid, I would
have named the team "Mod Squad" and started off with some team photos in Santa
Barbara of Bahati posing like Linc.

Dude,
I call myself a cartoon character. Bahati names a fucking TEAM after himself
and wears his own fucking name on his jersey. WTF?
Magilla
Susan gets the Final Jeopardy answer correct.
And all this time I thought I was running a fever.
I like this response. It implies that using a pseudonym on USENET is a
sign of humility. Very cool.

This is exactly what Bahati is doing. Ever since Drago wore that
jersey, people no longer fear him, they no longer respect him. He's
just a fucking wackjob doper.

Dude,
Any U.S. cyclist who names a team after himself is not thinking clearly.
But I think their motive for doing it is to tap into corporate foundation
grants. The people running that team think they can tap into the 501(c)3
foundation grants given by companies that generally require a publicly declared
minority agenda. That's the business motivation behind the team name. But I have
serious doubts that Bahati is aware of what his white handlers are up to. My
guess is Bahati thinks this is really about him.

Lance has the gravitas to pull it off. Lance started the team over 10 years after his
foundation. Bahati started his team at the same time of hs foundation. It's gay.
Dumbass -
If you had any sort of entrepreneurship in your body, you'd start a
team and name it after yourself.
It's a capitalist American tradition.

If Liz Hatch named a team after herself, I would definitely start a beatdown thread ASAP.
Cycling teams don't make much money. They are a losing venture...
