Birmingham Grasshoppers

Birmingham Grasshoppers were an American soccer team that played in Birmingham, Alabama from 1992-1996 as a member of the United States Interregional Soccer League. When the USISL split into two leagues in 1995, the Grasshoppers joined the Premier League. Preston Goldfarb (soccer coach at Birmingham-Southern College) was instrumental in originating the team and while at the helm, the Birmingham Grasshoppers won a division title, participated in the USISL "Sizzlin Nine" National Tournament, and hosted two regional playoffs. The Grasshoppers team was designed to give his players an opportunity to compete at a high level during the off-season, but travel schedules and time away from Birmingham-Southern led Goldfarb to discontinue the Grasshoppers after four seasons.

gollark: They probably just want to virtue-signal "yes look at us we are very progressive".

gollark: It's basically an advert, which I already do not like, unclosable (allegedly a bug, but who knows), and is whinily trying to shove political views at people.

gollark: I still do not like such things.

gollark: Honestly, I find websites shoving annoying notices about political views in your face very bees.

gollark: I haven't seen it since I haven't refreshed.
