MONDAY RECAP: COMMUNITY UPDATE

Save The Crew Updates

New England Stands with #SaveTheCrew:

It is very well known that the majority of MLS fans do not want to see the Crew leave Columbus. Signs of solidarity can be seen all over the nation, #SaveTheCrew signs , scarves, & banners have adorned

stadiums around the globe all year. Fan’s of the New England Revolution have taken things a step further by stating their support in a Monday article. The writer, Mathew Bluestein stated “Getting rid of them would not be good for the sport or the identity of MLS. Soccer should not be run with a business mentality, it’s not like other sports. The fans give their all for the club, and it’s up to the owner to give just as much back. If attendance is bad, the owner is not doing something right. It’s up to the owner to fix it, not pack everything up and relocate the team. With that being said, I speak for all of New England and for all of us here at BSE when I say that we stand with you Columbus. You would fight for us, so we fight for you. Together, we’ll #SaveTheCrew.”

1-1 TIE

Niko Hansen saved the day, and allowed us to come home to Columbus with a point. Once again, the Crew is able to salvage positive points in the last 10 minutes of the game. Our next game is at HOME this Saturday, September 1st. We need this one to be BIG. Bring your family, friends, neighbor, anyone! Let’s continue to celebrate the team before before the court case continues on September 4th.
