Wish that shite would fricking go away, it has nothing to do with what’s going on the pitch. They’re not alone since the EPL has all those rainbow captain bands , wasn’t this shite supposed to end after they were able to get married.



It's not going to go away, but it's also not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be. Whether I'm at a USMNT, MLS or USL match, I don't even notice it until it's pointed out. I think the most I've ever seen were like 5 flags at a match. Not that big of a deal.

It’s a lot more than other leagues even the NFL. If soccer wants to catch on more with the current fans of American football within the United States then they’ll have to change a little. I say this since I’m trying to get more of family and friends to watch soccer in general and it’s one of the first things they’ll point out.

we’re generally on the same page about the state of american soccer, but I fervently disagree with this point. I don’t think you’re fully appreciating how much of a turn off this is for 99% of people who may want to dip their toes into the sport. the impression is anyone who attends a domestic match is a radical, and I mean radical left winger. but the only ones who are, are the ones waving the stupid fricking flags.

it’s quite literally the equivalent(practically, not morally) to a Lazio style section of like 5 dudes waving Nazi regalia and anyone left of center saying “well that’s enough for me to avoid this scene”.


not to hijack the thread, but I think people drastically underestimate how much of a turnoff it is that radical leftists essentially control the stands at American soccer matches. carry on
