    Default Bantz for the Rave Green Lurkers

    Sooooooo...its very likely that for the first time Seattle is taking our team a tad more seriously then they do stuffing ballot boxes for Goal of the Week.

    And that will inevitably mean some of them will be on here looking for juicy tidbits to discuss over a Birch Beer and also a view about the preeminence of their team as seen by this outlying part of the MLS multiverse that revolves around Cascadia with its hub firmly at KingDome II there in Seattle.

    I think this is the perfect opportunity to welcome the people who invented MLS into our midst with a quality discussion of how Seattle is loved and admired.

    Allow me to go first with what I think is pretty much the perfect symbol of the supporter heir's to those mighty 5000 who attended SeaDog's games.




    This to me is the perfect metaphor for the Seattle Sounder supporter.

    Environmentally aware and also made of sturdy plastic.

    Easy to crank by hand by management upon command.

    Can both suck and blow.

    And, of course, that XBox green that is as important a symbol of the team's roots as is the Blue in Blue Jays.


    Mind you, I don't know how this thing will operate on a snowy night in December in Toronto, but we shall all find out.


    Anybody else?

    Yeah, good point.

    Pretty much everything that pasteurizes modern life comes from Seattle - Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks. They think because Nirvana came from there, and because they cover their sports teams uniforms with electric green algae, people won't notice.

    They notice.

    I heard they think they'll out sing us, do you think they'll try out this little ditty? Might not go over as well without access to a PA system.

    I think it's a region of Seattle (Seattle Sound). At least that's what I gleaned from my half-assed Google Search. The three minutes I spent were more than I should have invested in that team.

    Figured it out....

    "What You Can Do With the Head of a Snake"

    http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago...t?oid=15152685

    "Sounding refers to the insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra," said Dr. Stephen H. King, MD, a board-certified urologist…."Some people, likely a significant minority, derive sexual pleasure from urethral stimulation," said Dr. King. "This includes both men and women. Sounders…have been known to insert a wide variety of objects, including but not limited to catheters, beads, pencils, batteries, drill bits, and even the head of a decapitated snake."

    I've always enjoyed the description of Seattle from their pals down in Portland: it's a small fishing village.

    (I'll hate on Seattle this week but it's actually one of my favorite places, been there many times)

    A Sound is a description of a water body like;

    Bay, Cove, Gulf, Strait etc. The plural is Sounders...

    You need to slag Sounders fans somewhere That's part of the game.

    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    So I went on the Sounders boards at ECS and bigsoccer ... and there are like 20 posts a day on each site.

    We get more every day here in the offseason!

    Am I missing something? Or does supporting the Sounders not include, like, actually caring?

    I don't think they have a message board as such. Twitter and the comments section over at Sounder at Heart are probably a better bet. It's what i'm using to judge their mood.

    To be fair, if anyone judged TFC fans by big soccer activity, they would come to the conclusion that we have about four fans

    Edit: or did I miss where you intentionally omitted that fact. So hard to tell these things

    Well he did look at ECS first. If one were looking only at bs for following they wouldn't be trying very hard.

    Four Fans? That's exactly how many fans you brought to Century Link the last two time you played there. Sad

    Forums are kinda outdated.

    We mostly gather on newer media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. Stuff like that and maybe SounderAtHeart. There are a bunch of old style forums though if you know where to look. Each has their own crowd and narrative so we're kinda spread out. BigSoccer is almost certainly not a place we frequent.

    Show me any other major team in the world that doesn't have a forum or forums as the locus for serious fan discussion.

    Since we tend to be ahead of the curve when it comes to tech let me just say, it's not my fault if you're behind. We're already on Web 3.0.

    I am actually kind of interested in this, but just can't get engaged today.

    "Broadcasting" on FB, twitter, snapchat and IG is not Web 3.0. It's not discussion either. You have a unique/bizarre supporters culture if it's only happening on those platforms.

    btw re Seattle, there are a couple of hundred people on Seahawks.net as I post this. Who are you kidding?

    Anyways, enjoy your victory.

    I think the coldest game for me was the home opener against Seattle in their first season. Holy fuck.

    Didn't help that we lost, too.

    And lol @ them outsinging us. Pffft. If we start to lose we'll just get louder like the first leg in Montreal.
