At least stop insulting people who are actually suffering by pretending you care. That's all we can ever ask for.This is pretty much like trying to argue with Felix at this point. I'm done.
I've considered that from time to time, but I try not to dump on the Crew just because their parent company does business with jack***es. (Particularly since said parent company has made it totally clear they don't give a flying **** about our very existence, to say nothing of our or anyone else's well-being.)yea, no. Not if you are just using it to bash NYCFC fans for your own amusement.
If you are so morally offended (which is BS) then you should be boycotting this entire ****ing sport.
Its bush league what they are doing in Columbus.I've considered that from time to time, but I try not to dump on the Crew just because their parent company does business with jack***es.

Given that RBNY is also in that group of early clubs that MLS desperately tries to pretend never truly mattered or existed along with the Revs and DC (and probably Colorado as well, altho I haven't personally seen it in action with them), I wouldn't be shocked to see fans of those teams having a similar perspective.
On one hand this is entirely true, on the other it's also entirely true about like 95% of the leagues in the entire world.The refereeing in this league is still bush league.
Not in soccer though. The refereeing is at a very high level in most European leagues. Remember it's a very tough sport to be a referee, and assistant referee, the guys in Europe and also in other parts of the world are excellent. What we see in MLS is a joke, some of them are not even in shape, some are fat, some seem to not understant very well the laws of the game, that's simply not acceptable. The main problem though is that it seems it's always the same guys, WAKE UP they have shown for years that they are not good enough PLEASE bring some new guys.On one hand this is entirely true, on the other it's also entirely true about like 95% of the leagues in the entire world.
The NYCFC v NYRB debate is silly. Both of their locations have big pluses (NYCFC - location; NYRB - SSS, cost) and minuses (NYCFC - baseball stadium, field size; NYRB - technically New Jersey).
Either way, both are New York teams, just like the Giants and Jets are New York teams and just like, when I fly to NYC, every airline/travel company includes Newark. It's New York metro and anyone that looks down on that is some pretentious *****e.
Also, someone mentioned that all the teams located not in the city center have attendance issues which is laughable because SKC was on the list and they definitely do not have attendance issues. Can't speak to the other teams.
Mike Dean. Enough said.Not in soccer though. The refereeing is at a very high level in most European leagues.

Another ridiculous crowd for NYRB yesterday what is going on? 14k announced crowd and in reality probably 10k at the game. Even worse in Dallas and Columbus but that's understandable.
I was kind of baffled watching that game. It was like nobody knew there was a game that night, and all forgot to come.Another ridiculous crowd for NYRB yesterday what is going on? 14k announced crowd and in reality probably 10k at the game.

Wanting your team to not be named after crappy energy drink is pretentious?You could literally write a book on why Metro/Red Bull has struggled attendance wise. The whole branding thing is a giant negative and turns off the pretentious types. Right now the team has very good players but doesn't have a gate attraction (I've literally been told point blank that the team is never going to spend big money on a "Name" player (eg: Henry, Cahill ect.) ever again). And when you have a game played at night in March (and at the same exact time as a Devils game that is literally within walking distance of RBA) when it's not warm vs a terrible opponent you end up with a bad crowd. The single biggest reason the team struggles at the gate is the failure to win the league. In a sense the team has been more successful than the perception historically because we have only missed the playoffs 4 time in our 22 year history, we just never got over the hump. In the right scenario people will come: for the last game in 2013 where if we won we would win the Supporters Shield the place sold out well in advance and prices on the secondary market were well north of $100.
