Honestly every fan base has its assholes. In the time this forum has been up some awfully vulgar things have been said towards fans of other clubs, not just MCFC, by NYCFC Supporters.
I'd say 95% of every fan base just wants to support the team. Go to games or watch on tv. Buy merchandise and so on. 5% want to be more involved. Join forums like this. Use Facebook, Twitter and so on to reach other fans. Of those 5% probably not even 1% actively seek out confrontation and defend their team for no reason at all.
I think that's true here as well. Of our 1500 members not even 10 continuously argue and hate on others.
Can't let a handful of people affect how you view an entire group just because they offend you.
If an MCFC supporter comes here with an interest in NYCFC I can't and won't tell them to leave because their affiliation with MCFC offends other members. The same way I wouldn't tell a united/Chelsea/other epl supporter that it's weird they'd support NYCFC when the sister club is MCFC.
Whatever it is that brought you here other clubs you support shouldn't have any barring on your fandom. If you've truly taken an interest in the club then the fact I support MCFC and an asshole on Twitter cursed at you shouldn't make me a bad person for supporting MCFC.
Their forums are made up of ten of thousands of members. And of them only a handful have taken an interest in the team enough to come here and share in the discussion. So that should give you an idea of how little MCFC supporters from England, who actually go to matches and support the team in the manner those here do, care about what you, me or any NYCFC supporter think.
At the end of the day just support the club. Discuss the club with other members. There's no reason any discussion on here should ever turn into a hate fest for a team outside of the MLS. I think years down the road this will be looked at as a minor bump in the road.
