@EchoesofWarYT@mikepolkjr wrote the definitive history of this event in the sadly defunct ThePhatPhree. The best sentence was from the paragraph that began “The first breach of the playing field came early.”
Mike, please repost this!! I haven’t been able to find it in years!
@YankeeGunner@rangers1068 Elliot!! This is not the attitude to take!! The Super League was here to stay. The @ColumbusCrew were leaving for Austin. Neither of those things happened. Nothing is over until the fans give up! Soccer with four quarters is an abomination and must be resisted at all costs!
@YankeeGunner@TomCantonMedia Did you notice that our next four games are each in the four remaining competitions? Has that ever happened before??
3/22: EFL Cup v City
4/4: FA Cup v Southampton
4/7: Champions L v Sporting
4/11: Premier L v Bournemouth
@stevesirk Fantastic piece, well done.
(Also: “The last thing any fan wants is their club’s logo to be a milquetoast mediocrity or a piece of fugly, soulless clipart.” Hmmm)
@archer_rs Americans who go overseas are not the problem. Please give them some grace. They have gone to another country to experience another culture. The Americans who are the problem are the ones who don’t feel there is anything to gain from leaving their shores.
@markardito@Comiskey22 If he traveled to O’Hare from elsewhere he could just post up at the bar rather than leaving the terminal. Flew in from wherever, now just chillin’ at Chili’s.
@Jmanriquez_21@tombogert Not true. Columbus tried to pull the same schemes in order to keep Zelarayan and the league told them they couldn’t do it. There are two tiers. Joke league, even if I love the Crew.
@mattyglesias This is where naming conventions like “champagne” or “serrano” make sense. Or the German beer law. Grown and sell what you want if there’s a market. But you can’t call it “beef.”
