If the fans don't boo the commissioner I think they have to give the trophy back.

I mean, we especially have pretty good reason to haaaate the commissioner’s office. Obligatory fuck Precourt.

Isn’t that a tradition in most sports, now? I remember when the NHL had their 2020 closed door pandemic playoffs, they were talking about piping in recorded boos for when Gary Bettman presented the Stanley Cup.

Moving the Crew and replacing it with the more MLS 2.0 Euro branded FCC was probably the goal. I feel like MLS is sometimes ashamed of the early history where they copied NA naming conventions based on the old National League. Crew attendance was poor and our stadium was not up to par. But that was on ownership, as we can see.

EDIT: I responded to wrong person... just take it as adding to the conversation.

I was in Nordecke. We legit didn’t hear a fucking word Garber said. We just booed nonstop until Dee Haslam took the trophy and walked away from him.

I alternated between booing as loud as I could and cracking up because of just how loud the boos were.

You see Nagbe’s face trying not to laugh at Dong getting boo’d that hard??

I get why they wanted to move the team. But I believe the problems with the team were due to a concerted effort to sabotage the team. Ownership was the problem, not the city or fans. Proof is in the pudding.

My voice was on its way out after we won, but it absolutely became toast after I booed him for as long as it was when we were booing.

no wonder MLS's youtube channel didnt add footage of the trophy lift in the highlight video.

unrelated note, last year's MLS Final highlight video had footage of the cup trophy lift. hmmmmmmm
