Vancouver Whitecaps supporters are fighting for the existence of their club.
A consortium based in Las Vegas have table a bid to buy the Whitecaps, with a plan to relocate them to Vegas.
If this happens, the Whitecaps will cease to exist. Sadly, the MLS franchise system allows this to happen.
But that doesn't mean it should. Fans voices should be heard ahead of corporate greed.
Share this post and if you're able, offer support to the Save the Caps campaign. Any help you can give them is appreciated.
It's one thing when a club dies. It's another when it's killed by people from within it's pyramid.
It's the Whitecaps now, but it could be your club tomorrow.
