I was hoping to find positive updates about Damar Hamlin this morning, but instead, I just see a bunch of assholes blaming vaccines. The only thing keeping my faith in humanity in check is that people donated over $3 million to Damar's toy fundraiser for kids.
Tonight's tifo in honor of Austin Pride makes it clear, trans and nonbinary Texans are welcome. For more thoughts on what it means to me as a nonbinary Texan check out

If anyone thinks the Supporters Shield is a bigger prize than the MLS Cup, because EuRoPe, you would have been right years ago when the schedule was actually balanced with every team playing one another home and away.
Sucks to be us, but if you Google Columbus Crew, you'll not only find the team but also pictures of the MLS Cup.
You search Chicago Fire, and I don't know how many pages of the NBC show you have to go through before you realize it's an MLS franchise.
“So it’s called the Supporters’ Shield, and it goes to the best regular season team. It’s what proper football cultures tend to value in places like Europe. So when you think about it, it means more than the MLS Cup.”
My only regret about this Leagues Cup run is that we didn't get the opportunity to beat Cincinnati, Pachuca, and Austin, for it. We had to settle for breaking LAFC's spine again. Oh well.

Every time I hear, "We shouldn't do this. We're copying Portland. We're copying Europe."
Tifos and capos came from Italy. Should that stop? No.
You can't make an identity for yourself by walking on eggshells to not be compared to anything else. Relax.

We finally have the elusive 3-1 Crew scoreline in Chicago. What a night for all the beautiful people of

If you're a Columbus Crew fan and haven't been to a Crew 2 match yet, why? Because the matches are entertaining as hell and we have the best young talent in the league.
I can simultaneously celebrate all of the accomplishments of the Columbus Crew and still show disdain in minimal words for an Anthony Precourt project, yes.
Happy for those that got their MLS Cup tickets, but still sad for those that haven't. STMs should have been guaranteed the first right of refusal for purchasing tickets from the beginning.
I make no apologies. I talk all my shit now and I'll be as excited as I want to be about this team that I love, playing for their first CONCACAF Champions Cup. They could lose and I would still love them. Because they're here, fueling us all with hopes and dreams.

Dear Social Media Person(s),
Thank you for taking the resentment in stride for the last nine days. You are a champion. Please take this moment to celebrate the positive engagement. I'm very happy for you.
when ur a continuing champion and ur in a distant land for the final whistle and the only way u can celebrate is by stealing ur brothers hat and throwing it the fuck out of the house
"The Jackets winning this series would be one of the biggest sports things to happen in this city, other than the Buckeyes winning a national championship or something."
Yeah, because a professional soccer team never won anything here. Thanks,

I find it weird to be highly critical of Crew players earning less than $80,000. Like, we're supposed to bring in world class players at that rate? We should be encouraging them through their development.
Just my opinion though.
The
@Nordecke
Board isn't going to see enough gratitude for moving the needle on this, after some of the tweets and posts I saw yesterday.
But they should.
Honestly, this actually makes me care about the rivalry for once in years. I feel like the rivalry is too built on kiddie jokes and trolling, but setting this up for next season as the MLS Cup Champions vs Supporters Shield Winners is fire.
I have a love/hate relationship with Ohio State, but processing an expense report for 100 tickets for this Sunday's Crew match from one of the colleges makes me happy.
