Without a united front, each individual supporters group in each city will be left to fight it's own team and security personnel on their own. It's a battle of attrition that is not the most efficient way of dealing with this issue.
If ever there was a point where the United Supporters of the league needed to get their shit together and get some action done, this is it. This is a direct attack on the very fans that pay money and come to games. I have seen swearing and vulgar language at every single sporting event I have ever been to and never once an arrest. Vancouver goes up in flames and they have had barely more arrests so far than the number of fans arrested at this Revs game. This is a ridiculous state of affairs.
Swearing...geez. Dear lord this league has it's head up it's ass.
I wonder if anyone swears at Patriots games? Would this be different if they had a stadium in Boston?
From the article this really sums it up:
This team is at a crossroads, will you go for the 18-35 demographic that has driven the passion of the teams who are now in "MLS 2.0" and even stepping into "MLS 3.0" or will you continue on with the youth soccer crowd and continue to be left in the dust. The ball is on the penalty spot put it in the back of the net or botch it Revs, it's up to you how you carry forward from here.
