Ochocinco begins tryout with MLS team (AP)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—NFL star Chad Ochocinco has started his tryout with
Kansas City’s MSL soccer team.

Ochocinco began his four-day trial on Wednesday with Sporting Kansas City,
moving fluidly on the field on a cold, blustery day. More than 40 media members
were on hand to watch the locked-out NFL player, who spent much of the morning
getting individual instruction from assistant coach Zoran Savic.

Ochocinco, a wide receiver with the Cincinnati Bengals, is a six-time Pro
Bowler. He started playing soccer when he was 4 but quit in high school to focus
on football.

With the NFL in a lockout and a court fight looming, Ochocinco has said now
is a good time to check into another sport.
