    Goof find, Detroit. That is a really good article. Certainly made a good point about:

    "Avoiding apathy is the goal as apathy from fans is worse than anger. Apathetic fans can’t be won back. Angry fans can."

    Forward that sucka to MLSE. Raptors games just aren't the same any longer. Fears that it may come to BMO soon enough...

    I do...I've got a piece of paper that says I own a handful of shares of a certain Italian club.


    But seriously, that was an excellent article. I've been to a wide variety of sporting events, and TFC has something special and different from the rest. I hope they don't screw that up.

    Which team?

    Don't think MLSE will be selling TFC any time soon.

    I made mental note of that too when I was reading the article.
