Exactly.

It’s not enough that someone is happy with their kids team, club, league, they have to get absolutely tribal about their choice and impose it on others. And if you choose another team, club, league then it becomes their mission to tear it down. Imagine acting this way because someone choose to go to Burger King instead of McDonalds?

If a club does something that your club doesn’t do then it must immediately be mocked as stupid.


+ 1 million to the above 2 posts. There’s enough hate in this world. Let’s start being kind to each other......we’re actually all the same sharing the soccer experience because of our DC.

I don’t think anyone but the two clubs know how this is going to work. But, you also don’t have to worry about it either.

Not a coach. Have child on another team but unlike so many haters, I admire the resolve of this team. Why do so many people want to see them fail. Grow up.

This one makes no sense to me. Metro United "partnering" with NWSL's Portland Thorns.
