The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I heard that Eleven Sports is losing a ton of money so I guess that means Radizzani won't be as free to fund the club?

They did. In summary, a TA guy talked about the beauty of his organically grown supporter group from the halcyon days of USL, which is lovely, and then sneering at the “Spectator” culture of Atlanta. Never mind the corporate trappings; dude managed to use more than a few dog whistles in the process of saying Atlanta fans aren’t REAL fans. It reminded him of going to BLAZERS games, you see. And you know what THOSE people are like.

All he had to do was talk about loving his team, making the journey to love his own in the face of 70,000 people and be proud that he did. Instead of that, he Done hosed Up.

All you have to do is love your team, you numbskulls. That’s it. Root for the people who wear the shirt of your city. You can be loud, if you like. You can be rude, if you like. You can be an idiot, if you like. And you can be quiet, if you like. You can buy the prawn sandwiches and study what you see, if you like. You can even stay home and watch on TV, or go to the bar and have a pint. Do what you like! Just don’t be a dick, don’t listen to Hitler, and enjoy yourself!!

Two things, 1) it was his halcyon days of NASL 2) it's embarrassing as gently caress. I got a paragraph and a half into yesterday when it was just a tweet and noped out.

Was pretty disappointed that it was posted to the blog when it was because it overshadowed a little TA history project one of my best friends is working on. Regardless, nobody eats their own quite like the Timbers Army in the off-season.

Seriously though gently caress Orlando City. Stolen team, a fan base that takes pride in implying violence and rape, bad owners, bad management, bad players in an overheated shithole town

Never forget that they used an automated literal fake news generator to create a fake article saying a pregnant away fan was attacked by Orlando supporters and caused a miscarriage

No one likes you, and we all care a lot about removing your stink from this league

Fun fact: I put a curse on Orlando City that they would never have any success in MLS until Austin got a team. I guess it worked!

Something interesting I found was that if MLS had bottom 3 relegation, the 3 teams in 2012 that would have been relegated were the Timbers, Chivas, and Toronto. In the next 6 years those teams combined for 4 finals appearances and one team collapsed entirely. I find this fact amazingly interesting and a statement about MLS parity.

Reminder that Porter is not gonna tell Z what to do. He will build the team around him, and then his success or failure will depend on the old fedger's health.

He's waited all this time, but I don't think the coach will have any influence on the eventual outcome.

I'm really surprised he's not going back to the midwest.

Whats the eye roll plus jerk off smiley? Ah, :jerkbag:

I guess I see the veiled racism bit but it just seemed like someone who was trying to still enjoy his own farts after his team lost. Supporters culture is a cancer that needs to die. Just go enjoy soccer games. I've got my bike fixed up and hopefully I can go and enjoy more soccer games in LA next year.

I made SUCH a face at that. Dude means well but needs to just... sit the gently caress down.

I think the 107IST (guiding body of the TA and Riveters) taking it down caused even more of a shitstorm tbh.

Enjoy him. He’ll never quit on you. He’ll fail trying, but he’ll never fail to try. He’ll be slow, but he’ll never slow down. He’ll score a goal or two. He’ll play defense, winger, whatever you need. He was our longest tenured player. And whatever you paid him, you probably paid too much. But you’ll be glad he came.
