NYCFC Social Media Thread

Just to add this, I’m not sure the club even addressed what happened with supporters. Once he was gone they erased his existence from the club history. How can you completely drop our most prolific goal scorer without even recognizing he did wrong? *adjusts tin foil hat* Unless the club knew he was doing it and was apart of sweeping away of the wrong doing.

Not sure those are equivalent, even if you quite reasonably object to Villa's behavior.

For avoidance of doubt, it was a random example of bad history, I was not assigning them equal weight.

I’m sure it was litigated between the victim, NYCFC and if her attorney was smart personally named Villa. Most of those agreements have wording that says no one admits guilt, but if you settle and then admit guilt it probably allows the settlement to be reopened. Plus why would the organization want to remind the public about that black mark, while it’s still waiting for the stadium. Once shovels are in the ground don’t be surprise to see the team embrace David. Next year they will bring back members of the 2015 team.

Okay, you have the player that scored the first goal, the first homegrown goal, the current team leading goal scorer this season, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all time. Pirlo only had one. Heber might have been better in there. But the removal of David Villa is still upsetting to me. He's still part of the club's history for better or worse.

When you sexually harrass club employees, you get whitewashed out of things like this.

Huh. Which player would bring you the most joy to see brought back?

That's such an easy answer.

It has to be POKU

It’s like every Premier League team except for Manchester City made a Yom Kippur post. Neither did NYCFC. They’ve taken the stance to not post about religious holidays for a couple years.

Fine. Posting about any religious holiday is only going to result in half the comments (or more) being intolerant or racist.

To each their own, but I have no issues with sports teams of any type letting holidays pass without acknowledgment.

I'm Jewish and I have no problem with this. I don't need a sports team to write a post about my religious holiday.

Same here. In fact I prefer it.

The only religious holiday I want the club to recognize is Festivus.

For the rest of us.

Staying out of all cultural expression is a stance, but it's not what the club is doing. They have annual active game day celebrations for Latin culture, Gay Pride, and African Americans, while dropping simple "Hey have a nice religious holiday" tweets.

You can think that's good or bad, and I'm not going to debate it here.
But it is taking a position on the erasure of even anodyne expressions of religious expression in public.
Pretending it's a neutral stance is bullshit. It's rather pointed.

I can see both sides in this . As long as they don’t post happy Easter or happy Ramadan or anything else I think it’s alright . Unfortunately every European team I saw that did post happy Yom Kippur were met with some angry emojis and nasty ignorant anti semetic comments . Yom Kippur is a Jewish holiday not an Israeli one so wishing a happy Yom Kippur is no way a political statement and anyone responding in that way exposes themselves as a bigot that I wish did not support and teams that I do .

I believe all of those other cultural recognition events are league-wide initiatives though, whereas the faith-based things are generally up to the clubs discretion.
