United gets benefit of the doubt with Szetela signing

I love the way DC United gets the benefit of the doubt with its recent signing of Danny Szetela. I am not sure what I think of the deal, personally. I think need to know what salary he's on before I can figure that out.

But my point is that if this were a team like Colorado or Dallas making this move, I suspect fans (especially DC fans) would be howling laughing at Team X retreading Szetela.
