Warrior General Games

The Jackals' 10-year run in Johannesburg ended Saturday with a settlement that will let owner dsl20 take the team immediately to Massawa, and Johannesburg gets no promise of a replacement team.

The deal came together just hours before African District Judge Mike Rotch was scheduled to issue his ruling in the lawsuit Johannesburg had filed to try to force dsl20 to play out the final four seasons on his Jackals Den stadium lease.

The settlement, announced at simultaneous news conferences in Johannesburg and Massawa, requires dsl20 to pay Johannesburg $5 million immediately and $15 million more in five years if the city doesn't get a new team.

"This is a great day our football team, and for all of Massawa" dsl20 said to applause at a news conference/kegger in Massawa. "GLB Dotball will be in Massawa next season, playing their games."

He added: "The transition and move of the operation of this team begins as soon as this party is over!"

The Massawa team will play under the name Redhorns, with the Jackals' history, mascot, and colors to remain in Johannesburg.

GLB owner Bort could not be reached for comment.

Better parties.

Sure the customer base in Johannesburg has more money, but they just don't know how to let loose. I never knew what we were missing until we played a charity game in Massawa against the local "semi pro" team. We were all drunk by the end of the game, and that's when we STARTED to party.

I knew right away that that's where we should be playing our games.

I'm digging the new scene! Logo is pretty sweet too!

Just wait until Freddie capitalizes on the untapped market by moving in and opening Freddie's Foxxxes: Madrassa. Say goodbye to the mom and pop parties you grew to love - sure, the dance floor was rickety and the Tuesday afternoon strippers had visible C-section cuts, but they were your C-section cuts, dammit!
