This should be renamed “NYCFC out of the media thread.”
So then what is this based on?It’s not anywhere
It’s bad when NYCFC’s play & stadium situation is so bleak that it convinces their only beat writer to quit.
Same place he said NYCFC was the reason.
[and if one leaves a job, they either quit or were let go, and one is definitely not something to allude to in a jesting comment]
It wasn’t based on anything. It was satire.So then what is this based on?
kvschnitzer whats next for you?
Just want to thank everyone who reached out. I'll be starting at @LaddersHQ next week to do some reporting which I'm excited about.

However, I plan on continuing to cover soccer and other sports on a freelance basis. My email is in my bio/DMs are open.
Thanks for the kind words, you guys. I'll still be around in some capacity but I needed to make a move in my career as a journalist. Covering NYCFC is a ton of fun, but borderline impossible when it's extra work on top of my day job. Soccer fans are by far the most intelligent and thorough readers around so covering this league or any team with a story a week isn't exactly doing it justice. Part of it was an inner dilemma on me for not being able to provide more, but so it goes.
That said, I'm pretty proud of some of the stories I was able to tell. There are tons more out there and I'm hoping I'll be able to share them.

TBH, on rewatch, it sounded more like a "NYCFC score a goal where they very much resembled MCFC" which came out snarky. At this point I'm used to the rest of the league hating us, though. This comment doesn't phase me at all 🤷

Page Six is a huge get. We need more of this mainstream type of pub (as goofy as it is).What it takes for NYCFC to make The Post since kvschnitzer is no longer there...

Doesn't even mention the opponent or the final score.
We need a star DP.... A Chicharito will fill stadium
The idea is right. From what I've read the largest immigrant group in NYC is people from the DR. The only "elite" player from the DR right now is Mariano Díaz who is a bench depth striker for Real Madrid. He's only made 12 appearances this season and I wouldn't be surprised if he drops further down the order when Real spends All The Money this summer.We need a star DP....

I have my reservations about this approach overall, but if you're gonna go down this path I think you also have to take into account existing interest in soccer.The idea is right.

That said, Transfermarkt values him at $22.8M, which is steep for us, and adding another striker is probably roster mismanagement when we have needs at wingback.
The second largest immigrant group is from China. Maybe we should be scouting the CSL.
Oh, it's totally a superficial approach. Chicharito obviously has appeal beyond fans of El Tri.I have my reservations about this approach overall, but if you're gonna go down this path I think you also have to take into account existing interest in soccer.
e.g. if some grid iron team were to sign an Australian-Chinese player I don't think it would move me.
here you go: https://nycfcforums.com/index.php?threads/white-supremacists-in-supporter-section.6410/Why are we trying to sign players only for immigrant communities?
The largest population in New York is white. Maybe we should be finding the best white player in the world then?
