Owner Joe Mansueto explained why the Fire stuck with Arlo White.

“I like Arlo White,’’ Mansueto told the Sun-Times. ‘‘He’s one of the best soccer TV announcers on the planet, and I respect his right to work for whomever he wants to work for. I think that’s a slippery slope, trying to judge countries and evaluate them and determining who you want to have relationships with.”
