Not true at all.
Scoreboard has never told us to cheer. We were cheering from the first minute we were in MLS.
ECS itself is full of a lot of professional people who make plenty of money so they have no problems with the tifo fund.
I can't think of any tifo the front office paid for other than a couple card displays the front office did on their own (with ECS consultation through the Alliance Council of course) But then again Barcelona and Real Madrid often do the same. I don't count fulll stadium card displays like this as supporters tifo but they do enhance it.
In any event keep with your plastic narrative, the fact is our front office has said they learned from you guys before we entered MLS to let the supporters take the lead on chants and displays and we always have since DAY 1.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
The plastic narrative is old, like when people said back in 2009 we were all Microsoft employees who were given free tickets. Conspiracy theory nonsense started by ACES (remember them)?
