I am a hard time seeing how there are two sides to this story. Everyone's feelings about Shaun King, how to label far right groups, and 4chan hand signals are not the issue and are completely irrelevant to our club.
Issue is that our club has given a very underwelming response. They have had opportunities for years make decisive public statements and actions, but they have choose the hush hush crisis PR consultant strategy.
I don't really see how people can think that these claims are unsubstantiated. If you look at every major incident of fan violence, thehse assholes have been the common factor either directly (don't get confused about all of these rebrands) or intergrated in the NYCSC/Los Templados banner.
Sandwich board fight incident in Newark at first derby at Red Bull Arena
Fights with Cosmos supporters and throwing stuff on the field during first US Open Cup match
Fights with Cosmos supporters for the US Open Cup game at Fordham. Far right nycfc theme banner displayed.
Numerous incidents at Yankee Stadium of them traveling to the away section at halftime. There have been fans beat up, scraves stolen for cool Instagram pics. This forced the team and Yankee Stafium to drastically increase police presence by away section.
They were in the away section for the Philadelphia fight/bottle throwing.
They been pictured pregaming with ACAB banners.
It was NYCSC/Los Templados memebers that were arrested for assaulting police officers away at Orlando City.
Now, we have substantiated that there is a crosssection of this group who are members of the far right ultra nationalist 211 boot boys have been involved political violence and arrested for gang assault multiple times already with an incident this summer and with the proud boys last week. They have been openly wearing their colors in the supporters section all year.
Dont let the politics confuse you. If these assholes are far left, far right, pastafarians, the condemnation from the club should be exactly the same.
Bravo (seriously)
