I'm not quite sure what to make of the paragraph regarding social media activity. That concerns me a bit, but I'll admit I haven't quite collected all of my thoughts on that, but I get the impression that it's quite a slippery slope if they are going to actively monitor social media accounts.Tommy Miles is one of the people who got a warning
Adding on that im reading the club just gave out multiple 2 year bans to some of the people given up to the club via Tommy so im assuming that Twitter post is relevant to this.
what i think theyre saying is that theyre gonna monitor social media accounts for actions that will happen at/during NYCFC games or pertaining to other NYCFC supporters. im not sure its vague.
I hope not. Because unless what they're referring to are deleted posts and worse was said, the only calling out I see there seems to be limited to criticism, and don't appear to be threatening at all.

I’m also not sure what to make of the issue with him violating MLS code of conduct if he was tossed for his flag that has been allowed at other stadium(s) which previously set a precedent that it’s ok. Difficult to selectively enforce a league-wide rule for the same flag.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that Colorado(?) removed an Antifa flag from the stands this past weekend.
No, the antifa or anti fascist flag. I didn’t see it so can’t comment, but evidently it’s been flown in Portland and/or other stadiums - can’t remember which Tommy tweeted photos of as precedent.
according to the letter the warning comes from "ignoring instructions from stadium staff"
Again, there’s evidently been precedent set in Portland, so it’s interesting how selective enforcement is taking place.
It was both. It was a pride flag with Antifa stuff on it. They fail to mention that and play victim, when there's a clear "no political imagery/statements" policy across MLS. More specifically: “using (including on any sign or other visible representation) political, threatening, abusive, insulting, offensive language and/or gestures, which includes racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist or otherwise inappropriate language or behavior.”
