🚨ANNOUNCEMENT!🚨

As many of you know, #Crew96 ownership recently announced their intention to hold a fundraiser for regressive MAGA extremist JD Vance.

That doesn’t sit well with me or the members of my community, so we’ve decided to do something about it.

#OHSEN
First, we’re holding a fundraiser of our own.

While JD Vance is downtown in a swanky ballroom at the Athletic Club surrounded by millionaires and billionaires, we’ll be in Franklinton registering people to vote and raising money for Ohio’s next senator: @TimRyan.

#OHSEN
That’s the difference between the candidates, folks.

Billionaires are raising money for JD Vance, because THEY are who he fights for and reports to.

Working class people are raising money for Tim Ryan, because WE are who he cares about and WE are who he fights for.

#OHSEN
The date of our fundraiser? The same day as the downtown billionaire fundraiser: Wednesday 9/21 from 6-8pm.

(We’re going to start ours an hour later than theirs, because we have jobs that we can’t leave in the middle of the afternoon.)

#OHSEN
The three people organizing this event are:

@Morgan_Hughes
@KevinDGlenn
@srikanthmek

If you’d like to help organize, get with us directly.

Location and event details will be released on Monday. Stay tuned to this space.

#OHSEN
🗣 BUT MORGAN, FUNDRAISING IS GREAT BUT I ALSO WANT TO PROTEST.

Then you’re in luck! In the true spirit of the working class rising up to visibly and vocally push back against our oppressors, a protest will ALSO be happening on the same date at the same time.

#OHSEN
That event is being organized and led by:

@TheZidar
@jodrodgers

Make sure to give them both a follow, let them know if you’d like to help organize, and stay tuned for details on the time / logistics / location.

#OHSEN
So, to recap, we’ve grown tired of the billionaire ownership class funding dangerous extremists who seek to harm the hard-working members of our communities, and we’ve decided to do something about it.

#OHSEN
Be ready for more details on Monday, and please help us spread the message by sharing / retweeting / and talking to your friends and family about this fight for the future of Ohio.

Because courage is contagious.

In other words, tell everyone you know.

#OHSEN

As of this morning, here’s where we stand with the Supporters’ Shield debacle:

- Fans overwhelmingly hate the decision.
- Current and former players are outraged.
- Coaches are speaking out against it.
- The league has started to remove mentions of the Shield from their website.
And as far as I can tell, the response from the ISC is “not our fault, talk to the SSF” while the SSF’s stance is “please refer questions to the supporter groups” who were possibly informed of the decision maybe on some Slack channel.
This is gross incompetence from a leadership perspective, full stop. Not taking responsibility for your own actions, passing the buck, and then playing the victim on your personal Twitter accounts.

Fans of this league deserve much, much better. So do the players and staffs.

If you think that MLS isn’t going to at least DICUSS creating their own trophy to hand out in place of the Supporters’ Shield, cool. They will. This means the group installed by ISC to care for the Shield could end up killing it. Great fucking job to everyone involved. Bravo. 👏
The 2020 MLS season started in February. The fuckery with the schedule not being balanced has been understood for months, and also isn’t relevant. To wait until the middle of OCTOBER to make this kind of decision is beyond absurd.
A team will finish the reg season at the top of the MLS standings this year. They will win the Supporters’ Shield, period. If the inept leadership of the ISC doesn’t feel like physically awarding the Shield, whatever. The blemish on your collective record as leaders is permanent.

Pssst....

We’re going to flip the Senate and win the White House.

Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Period.

Tell everyone you know. #VOTE
Here’s the thing - those in power, those who refuse to govern for the good of the people, they want you to believe that it’s all hopeless. That your vote doesn’t and won’t count. That you can’t make a difference.

Let me say this clearly.

THEY ARE FULL OF SHIT.
They want us to accept our fate as these disengaged nihilists who don’t participate, don’t believe in democracy, and don’t care what happens to our country or our planet because there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.

It’s the single biggest lie you’ve ever been told.

I just discovered that thing where you DM someone a number, and then that person writes about you.

I think it’s fantastic.

Like this tweet and DM me a number and I’ll write something about you. Let’s go. 👀
2: Your persistent hatred of Olive Garden fuels my inner fire to destroy you. Does the Olive Garden suck? Yes of course it does. But I’ll be a goddamned son of a bitch if I’ll let you slut shame limitless bread options. People need bread to live. How even dare you?
9Sanch6: You’ve been coasting off of my Nordecke championship for too long. Oh look at you, you have a cute kid. OH GOOD FOR YOU. Jesus, you think you’re such hot shit. OH LOOK AT ME I HAVE A CUTE KID AND I WAS ON A TEAM THAT MORGAN CARRIED TO A CHAMPIONSHIP. Get over yourself.

17 regular season home games
1 international friendly
2 open cup games
2 playoffs games
= 22 “seats”

1 account = up to 8 deposits

8 x 22 = up to 176 “seats” per account

This is the type of math used when announcing season ticket deposits.
All I’m saying is we should have announced 2,640,000 “seats” for the STC ticket pledge.

Opportunity lost. #SAD
And if you’re wondering why every MLS expansion team breaks the season ticket deposit record of the team that came right before them, just assume that your team will play THREE Open Cup games instead of two. Boom, eight additional “seats” per deposit.

WE FUCKING DID IT, LADS.

THREAD: Got to tour the new @CrewStadium site this morning.

Here are some pictures... #Crew96
From outside looking in: the parking lot across the street, and what will become the main entrance on the SE side (also where the Crew Brew Hall will be). ImageImage
Now inside, a quick L to R scan of the same SE entrance.
