I also can't tell if the GIF was meant to suggest that the team is a ridiculous clown party or just "yay, let's dance!"
It was simple, 'party'. But I couldn't find anything that resembled a 'party', so I figured I'd use that and hope people understood the meaning.
It was meant as a 'wow, Brad Sims actually listened'
“we have heard from them” you know what that means - the Brad Sims listening tour was a rousing success!!
Stay tuned for Listening Tour Two: Electric Boogaloo
New York City FC CEO Brad Sims said: “We are committed to delivering the best fan experience to our dedicated and passionate supporters and we have heard from them that midweek games are less convenient than weekend matchups.”
Oh Brad, you may be listening but you ain’t hearing...

If he said this, and this schedule still came out, what makes you believe that this was the front office being like 'HAHA LET'S PUT MORE MIDWEEK GAMES!'
there's clearly something at play here that's outside of the FO's control.
He's hearing. He's got the listening and hearing down pat. The problem is, he's not doing. That's what we need, Brad. A doing tour.
I think this works for the q&a lol
"Fan" questions: "How do you think the club's 2025 season went, making it one game away from the MLS cup?"
"Fan" questions: "How do you think the club's 2025 season went, making it one game away from the MLS cup?"
i mean, were you expecting hard hitting questions? this is how it always is for this and every other team, corporation, or organization.
at least we got some useful information e.g., when we'll have our first official game at the new stadium.
I've learn not to expect anything but the softest softballs on any of these internal Q&As but it doesn't make his constant corporate spin talk about "always competing for trophies" any less disingenuous. Guy sat there and said the expectation is to improve upon last season. Even if the Sylla signing went through can he really say the team has positioned itself on equal competitive footing with Miami because that's what doing better than last year means?
I can't think of many things that annoy me more than up sell slop that isn't aligned with reality. The whole you and I both know this isn't true but I think I can smooth talk you into thinking what I want you to think is true.
It's like when a company takes away a high quality pension benefit and replaces it with a 401K and writes an email to everyone spinning it as the company doing something nice for their employees by saying they did it because they wanted to give employees more choice and flexibility over their retirements. Why do executives do that shit? Just say nothing at all, people aren't stupid, its belittling.

The thing about Brad is that he couldn't be more excited.
Couldn't be more excited about the stadium. Couldn't be more excited about the food hall. Couldn't be more excited about Dunivant. Couldn't be more excited about the prospects for the season. Couldn't be more excited about hosting bar mitzvahs at the stadium. Couldn't be more excited about the schedule flip.
He simply couldn't be more excited.

For the record, I've met Brad and he really does come across as earnest, a nice guy, and someone who wants to do the right thing by the fans and the Club.
Which, really, I couldn't be more excited about.
