Sure, I'd celebrate it. But it's not like celebrating an MLS Cup win. There's no ticker tape parade for the Presidents' Trophy winner in the NHL either.

Well, the Independent Supporters Council has gotten so much criticism for their decision and original explanation that they chose to issue a second explanatory statement. Vanney is pissed off, and while it's a bit self-serving as Toronto is the clear leader right now, he makes some good points about the sacrifices players have made and how his team, in particular with the other Canadian teams, have had to be away for home for almost the entirety of the season.wow..
this is kinda huge. but understandable.

Vanney's right, I think. This season has been harder on the players than any other in the league's history. Whoever wins the Shield this year will have earned it, and it's pretty petulant to say that because fans can't be in attendance, they shouldn't award it.
This strikes me as a decision made by a board of directors because they don't ever have any decisions to make.
This is the first time that I ever gave thought to how the Supporters Shield is governed (i.e. by a 501(c)(3) that is separate from the ISC, etc etc). The shield foundation website is in need of some work, to put it lightly, but their bylaws say that the Board is a minimum of 3 and no more than 7 people. I think most teams' supporter groups are finding out about it the same way we are, and now the Board has to explain themselves after the fact to them as well:
lmao so it was never the league?, i always thought it was handed to the league to handle.

What teams don't beat their rivals every now and then? I'm confused.

The Eastern Conference is currently on track to have all the teams play all 23 games, so this really only impacts the West as of now.
Philly can clinch the shield on Sunday if they get 1 more point than toronto.
(i.e. toronto tie, philly win... or toronto lose and philly win/tie)
(i.e. toronto tie, philly win... or toronto lose and philly win/tie)
It can affect the East in one way: if the eventual East champion has more points but fewer PPG than the West champion, then the West champion will play at home in MLS Cup. That's a pretty limited and specific situation, and the article does not directly address it, but I think it follows from the rules set out.
Meanwhile, it would be peak NYCFC if they make the Cup final and host, but cannot allow any fans to attend.

sucks for philly and blake. he was having a great season. he single handedly has saved him many times.
that being said, he wasn't the reason they are so successful. sucks he can't be apart of their potential successes going forward.
Usually the standings page at mlssoccer.com labels the single combined table as "Supporters Shield." After the SSF said there would be no shield this year, MLS changed it to "Overall Standings." After they reversed the decision, the web team at MLS apparently had enough because they never switched it back.Supporters' Shield to be awarded in 2020 following reversal of decision | MLSSoccer.com

So latest news out of LA is that they're looking to get Miguel Herrera. I'd love to see him in MLS.
