Dear The Soccer Don,

We RBNY fans hereby request that our team play NYCFC every week.

While Man City-Lite has struggled on the field, weighed down by over-the-hill former Superstars, it's been their fans that have had it really bad at "The House That Jeter Built". In the latest incident involving Yankee Stadium Security, one of their fans was Tasered in the stands. I just read their petition calling for MLS, CFG and Amnesty International to intervene and right these wrongs. I must say, it really moved me - even if I chuckled at the claim that they're "reasonable people".

They've surely not been able to behave, but the Tasering incident might have been a little excessive this time around. We RBNY fans really feel for them, really we do. But, you know, that's just a by-product of throwing all the rules, about new franchises needing to have their own Soccer Specific Stadium (or at least an actual plan in place), out the window.

Yes, yes - the two times they've traveled to The Cathedral of Football (Red Bull Arena, built by Makita) they've not behaved either - throwing flares onto the pitch and burning rally towels in the stands. They've done this not once, but twice - even when their Supporter's ticket allocation was reduced by 2/3 (after their first trip across the Hudson). On top of that, their "Jerome Avenue Hooligans" came over to one of our Supporter's bars looking for a brawl (and they got one), which was a massive black eye on MLS.

But all that is neither here-nor-there. We'd like to give them the gift of watching an actual well-built team (RBNY) play on a regular basis. They would even have a choice of watching their team get stuffed in a nearby stadium where they won't get tasered, beat up or arrested for celebrating another loss on the streets. They might even behave after a while.

Thank you for your consideration
