In a gesture to show solidarity to the soccer club he owns and the city it’s still in, controversial Columbus Crew SC owner Anthony Precourt announced he will build a statue of himself on the property of Mapfre Stadium next to the statue of the Crew’s famed first owner, Lamar Hunt.

Lamar Hunt, a sports visionary who brought the game of professional soccer to Columbus and fought for it to stay here by constructing the country’s first soccer-specific stadium, had his statue erected posthumously as a tribute to his commitment to the city, sport and team. The statue features Hunt looking off towards the West, arms folded, symbolizing his dedication to the soccer industry in America.

Not to be outdone, Precourt has announced his statue will be one of him next to Hunt’s digging a giant hole in the ground. When pressed for further explanation of the symbolism behind the actions of his statue, Precourt was asked if it had something to do with him taking over the groundbreaking Crew SC, the first charter member of Major League Soccer (MLS).

“No, actually it’s just to symbolize how terrible I am at owning a sports team and how I’ve pretty much put this team and city in a situation that is undesirable to everybody and how I keep making it worse,” Precourt said, referring to his business Precourt Sporting Ventures’ recent attempts to move the Crew SC to Austin, Texas. “I feel I just keep digging this hole and making it bigger and bigger and let’s face it, I really don’t know what I’m doing, do I?”

Receiving no complaints or objections from the crowd (most reporters were seen nodding and agreeing with Precourt’s statement) Precourt continued to double down on his statue’s meaning, quoting Homer Simpson from The Simpsons.

“My solution to making things better has always been, ‘I know, we’ll dig our way out!'”

Precourt was later seen outside digging a hole with a shovel, perhaps practicing for his eventual statue’s pose.
