Sorry Ben, but this is bunk. It is a Paul Bierne style response to a problem - make a trite joke and devalue the feelings of thousands who have spent thousands. In this case I think it is best if your responses where more detailed and objective, as in some cases when they are.

If it was a joke - then it was missed on me...

I don't feel that my feelings have been devalued at all.
in fact, I had a chuckle, which is good for the mood.

Disappointing Ben - I always respected your take on things but this is nothing but Kool-Aid drinking.

How about we do not accept a direction which appears as wrong to most how have accualy grown up with football. I was looking forward to acctualy read some insight, perhaps counter to mine. But this trite cavalier response is standard crap.

Christ, you know everything's gone to hell when this board criticizes something Ben Knight does

Ben starts a Twitter protest to highlight MLS referees and then disses TFC supporters from trying to make their voices heard on issues going on right under his nose?? Gimme a break Ben.

Ben or is that BEN OVER.

MLSE is a billion dollar corporation that got a free stadium an a 10 million dollar franchise, which they recouped with the naming rights.

They are very good at making money. But total shite at winning games, developing teams and treating their fans with respect.

I'll support the team, as one day it may be sold. But I'll never buy another 110 dollar jersey or other TFC product unless it's a bootleg. I have also wrote BMO stating that the reason I closed my account and switched my mortgage with them --was their association with MLSE.

We all live with the choices we make BEN OVER. You've made your as a spokesman for MLSE. Hopefully you'll get a job someday with them and it will all be worthwhile.

I've made mine. And I pray for the day that MLSE is out of the sport.

Personally? I had a good chuckle.

If I wasn't out of town this weekend at a cottage retreat? I'd be back to normal, dressed up, making noise.

The tie-dye is back in the cupboard for game day now.

I used to have alot of respect for the writings of Ben (and Duane for that matter). Not reading either of their blogs anymore.

I'm liking these two more and more... everytime I watch It's Called Football or read 24th Minute and BK's blog it's like these guys are reading my mind.

This was obviously a joke so I am not going to jump all over Ben. I think the feelings of many is that we are being dismissed...which even if MLSE wanted to do that, they would be stupid to actually look like they want to do that. The end outcome will not be pleasant for MLSE...you can rest assured. RM game will be the first piece of evidence.
