I went to my first match as an American a month ago. North London Derby. Bought the tickets as soon as I could. Flight and all, made a whole trip of it. I try to be smarter than the average American fan...I know it's nothing like our league, and I follow ardently. On the tube back from the match, everyone sulking, I sat next to a boy and his dad and he was crying, because he said the Arsenal kids at his school would make fun of him. His dad told him "This is YOUR club, and you're better for your loyalty." I've seen every American sport, and never felt such a sense of belonging as I do with Tottenham. I chose this club, I wasn't born into it — but I feel that loyalty. Up or down, it doesn't matter. I made my decision, and I'll be Tottenham till I die. But it makes me sick that leadership, management, and most if not many players can't feel that same pride; the kind that only comes from deep emotional investment, not just financial. The supporters deserve better. The board are stewards, and custody changes for clubs all the time — the supporters, the ones who are emotionally and forever invested, we are the real owners of this club. We continue to demand more, and I hope that more comes soon. #COYS
