A Letter to Patricof

One other alternative is to just yell "Nice kick, Asshole!" I know there is still some kind of swearing, but asshole isn't all that bad. And it still gives those other guys something that's ribbing the other team.

My college bball student section days we yelled that after every made free throw the opposing team made.

And to follow up on a couple of other things posted since this is my first time back on here since Saturday, I was in 237 and thought the chant was at its worst last night. Its really gained momentum the past few weeks.

I definitely did not see any Nazi related flags and do think its people trying to make us look bad. I honestly think people heard that the p*to chant was getting loud and tried to ride some of that momentum by bringing up the Nazi flag thing. I could be wrong, but I didn't see anything that resembled that.

there's some history with use of asshole:

'You Suck, Asshole' (YSA) was a pretty popular goal kick chant that the league made a very concerted effort to stop even offering incentives to supporters groups to end it:

Why would you yell "nice kick" after a free throw? Just kidding

Damnit......

How about a "NOONAN" chant?

 

[Bane]

Thanks guys. Can you please tell me how many seats you have? I'm keeping that in the signature on all emails to Patricof.

Just 1.

So you think our supporters brought it to the US open match this year or last and had it stolen, or cosmos fans made it themselves to frame our supporters?

I mean either is a possibility; you can still see the creases in the flag, like right out of the package. Some people are hell bent on making us look bad. You do have to consider the source of this pic tho as that group has ulterior motives

im going to assume thats from last year since i have not heard mention of that group since last year. Btw those are cosmos fans giving the finger to that blue flag.

it's 100% Cosmos fans. and the post on the topic from the guy on reddit is suspect. "I saw a Nazi flag being waved the whole game and didn't take a pic" or ask anyone else to do so. Unfortunately the whole nonsense has been tweeted by Christian Araos simply based on the reddit entry without any confirmation. It's a lesson in all of this to make sure you have it right before posting about what you're seeing or hearing.

the nazi flag again? i remember last year they photoshopped a nazi flag on the first ever match vs the revolution saying it was legit. and another time the exact same thing was said that " i saw it but no pic"

stop feeding trolls EOS, if its real show proof and report it to the correct people. but then again i can expect no less from internet wars.

Definitely heard it in 236. Also heard Rox and several other supporters scolding the people who did it.

Though they can only yell at people so many times, def saw/heard it in 135, 136, 235, 236, 237 and a few other spots.

Easy way to beat this would be to get a different word in there.

"ahhhhhhhh NEW YORK!"

for example.

"Rainbow!"

Rainbow might be nice to counteract the bigotry.

I like this and haven't seen it suggested elsewhere, but would be concerned that it isn't different enough. People who wanted to yell p*** still could, and it might not be distinguishable on tv.

234's alternative is at least something clearly different.

View attachment 5775 Is reddit referring to this- the Third Rail pigeon flag? Based on the photo posted on there and fact the poster couldn't even really tell where where it was, I think they think they saw something that wasn't there.

Confirmed it was the pigeon flag.

I also think that there is something fishy (photoshopped) with the cosmos fans with the nycfc nazi flag.

Lol at EOS just assuming it's true rather than doing research, oh but don't you dare question their journalistic background or the "ethics" involved in reporting and how it affects people

I've railed on them from day one for being nothing more than bloggers masquerading as journalists. And the common response from Dave when he's on the forums is that they just report the facts. Um yeah.

i know its edgy to shit on eos here but i find it hard to rail on a site that actually covers nycfc/mls in this city unlike all of the major media outlets. i think christian does a good job with nycfc and has been featured on four four two as well. coverage is much improved since last year.

personally I like EOS but for that clown to put something out like that without doing an iota of his own research is nothing more than click bait "journalism". To then shit on people that were actually at the game and provided the true explanation by saying they were in denial and playing the blame game is reprehensible.

You've got BLUUUUUUEEEEE BAAAAAAAALLLLLLSSS !!!!!!

I really like this. If we could coordinate with SGs I would gladly lift these signs from in front of the SS to rally the chant.
