Boycott MLSR

If you follow soccer, you probably heard about the skirmish that took place at half-time of the Columbus-West Ham game. Shock of all shocks, MLS Rumors went off the deep end blaming everything on Columbus; fans, even though they said they wouldn't blame anyone. I've seen video of the fight, it was nothing. I've seen worse fights at Browns games. I've seen worse fights during high school.

Anyway, MLSR put the blame on Columbus' fans. This was not their fault. It was the fault of security at Columbus Crew Stadium. The West Ham hools waltzed over to the Nordecke's section and started throwing beer onto the Crew fans. Is it any surprise that something happened?

I also find it amusing that MLSR failed to make a big deal about the fights that happened during some SuperLiga matches this past week. What, it's not a big deal since it wasn't happening with the Crew? I'm done with that website. If you want good soccer blogs, check out the Designed Players - TheOffsideRules, TheOriginalWinger, Soccer By Ives, and duNord, and This Is American Soccer. Those guys can write about soccer.
