Chad Ochocinco's Soccer Tryout: For Real?

This is happening, according to Sporting KC web site:
Sporting Kansas City has invited National Football League star Chad Ochocinco to Kansas City next week for a four-day tryout with the Major League Soccer club. Following the tryout, set to begin on Wednesday, Sporting Kansas City will determine whether to extend the trial period.
It's good that he's looking for alternative ways to pay his bills, as the NFL lockout situation may not be resolved for a while.  Besides, he needs to earn some money to pay for the clothes he bought from that store in Cincinnati:
Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard signed an order for Ochocinco to pay Amm One, also known as Exclusive Wear, in the 2700 block of Vine Street $11,717.39 for the clothes.
“My clients informed me they had given him ample opportunity to pay it and he didn’t,” Joseph Honerlaw, attorney for the clothing company, said Tuesday.
I guess the reality TV show just wasn't meeting expectations.
