MLSR posted an entry talking about Columbus' attendance this season. There was an article in the Columbus Dispatch about the Crew inflating its attendance numbers. MLSR titled the entry to something of the effect of "Columbus lying about attendance" or something like that. Now, yes, they did announce numbers higher than the actual number of people there. What they fail to mention is that almost EVERY team in professional American sports does this. Go to any game, and the announced number will be higher than the number of people actually there. MLSR wants to keep the hate train going towards Columbus.
In the comments section, there are the typical comments saying "move Columbus to (insert city)." This would be the biggest mistake the league could do. It would be an insult to the memory of Lamar Hunt. Columbus opened the first soccer-specific stadium in the entire country. Lamar Hunt financed the thing himself. Now you want to move the team? It would be a travesty. For those in favor of moving the team, what do you propose doing to the stadium? Just have it sit there unused? C'mon now.
