#Crew96 game v. Toronto tonight. Big three points in offing for Columbus. Crew coaches/players have been talking about a need for a nastier edge to their game. I'll be columnizing at my new home thedisrespected.com. New posts M-W-F.

Ok so the game isn't worth talking about so lemme ask this question:
Why didn't anyone from #Crew96 do any major advertising for the best watch party idea to land in their lap in the past 10 years?
This place should be more full. So disappointing.

I've been ejected from the #Crew96 match because a security guard thinks they saw me wave an unapproved flag after being warned about waving an unapproved flag.

I was extremely fortunate to be a part of the #Crew96 Circle of Honor process and honored to take up some space on that hallowed field with those wonderful folks during this weekend's ceremony. I hope I did y'all proud.
