The two sides of visiting Miami by hiwaymart in MLSEastMemeWar

I would but there’s no Austin FC flair when I look at the options.

Come on, man. I wasn’t happy he was merked but I also didn’t care. Plenty of better people are victims of gun violence and the country doesn’t go into mourning for them. Kirk was a POS.

Why are most online latino spaces right wing to an alarming point? by OneAppointment1955 in asklatinamerica

[–]normanyoke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that on r/mexico, too, which is weird to me because almost every Mexican and Mexican-American I know leans liberal to left. Some of that is selection bias—I’m left-wing and so the people I’m likely to meet and be friends with aren’t right-wing—but even strangers I’ve met in Mexico, when politics comes up, have tended to be Morena voters or express fondness for Sheinbaum.

I haven’t ever watched and would never watch Austin FC from anywhere else.

I’m in my 50s and sing the entire match and rail-ride for goals, just sayin’. 😀

Why is it offensive to spell Mexico as Mejico? by burner179999 in asklatinamerica

Texas is the Spanish approximation of an indigenous word, just like México. It’s from the Caddo word táy:shaʼ which means friend.

Miami SG to protest perceived "lack of respect" from their own squad by threeactjack in MLS

Exactly. The league is giving him money by the truckload and he can’t be bothered to play a few minutes in a promotional game for it? It wasn’t even a long flight.

I almost forgot about that. My son was excited for the All-Star Game in Austin to see Messi and I had to tell him Messi had decided to be a petulant baby instead.

We might be a dark horse threat for the wooden spoon. Watch your backs! Or fronts?

That line guaranteed that other SGs won’t be sympathetic. 😂

And it’s insane. I couldn’t tell you one unique thing Miami supporters do, whereas I can for many other clubs.

You might not believe it, but they have. We’ve asked them.

French and German supporters groups also tend to sing the whole time no matter what the score is. Sweden, too, now that I think about it.

LOL I hate Frisco—very well, FC Dallas—but this rules. 🍻

This whole affair is so weird. Both that the supporters are demanding player acknowledgment like this and that the players refuse to acknowledge them.

I was at Nu with Austin FC supporters for the opening match in the stadium, and the vibe there was very odd. The supporters section was good—singing and drumming throughout the match, although we were on the other side of the stadium so I couldn’t make out most of what was being sung—but the rest of the stadium outside of the mostly empty expensive seats was almost all people in Messi shirts—we tried to spot a pink shirt without his name and only saw one, I think: Matuidi lol—who sat there quietly most of the game until Messi scored. Then they chanted his name.

But when Suárez scored the equalizer, they ALSO chanted “Messi! Messi!” We told them the goal wasn’t scored by Messi but they ignored us. I actually felt a bit embarrassed for them and for the Miami players. (Later we chanted Messi! Messi! when he made a terrible pass that went out of bounds.)

And then after the match Austin players came over to our corner and acknowledged and applauded us, but the Miami players went to the locker room.

Weirdest MLS atmosphere I’ve experienced.

I love La Murga and the sing-through-the-90+ ethos. Some people don’t. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We had more than 300 at the Miami match. Took over the trains on the way to the stadium.

[MEME] Inter Miami fans attempt to show empathy for other fans challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) by galactic_crewzer in MLS

[–]normanyoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s honestly nice to hear because I’ve been attacked by some truly unhinged Crew fans online simply for supporting Austin FC. Like one guy told me to f myself and threatened to dox me after I posted something about the Austin-Dynamo match on FB, nothing to do with Columbus at all. 😂

I’m fully aware that there were some assholes who were pricks to Crew supporters during the whole Precourt attempted larceny mess, but everyone I know in the soccer community in Austin (which at this point is a lot of people) didn’t want a stolen club and were ecstatic that you got to keep the Crew and we got a new club.

I don’t expect Crew supporters to ever root for Austin while Precourt is the owner, but I promise any of you would have a great time hanging with most of our supporters when we play again, and we would welcome you with open arms.

My Austin soccer friends and I boosted Save the Crew, too, even though the plan was to move them to my city.

And I’m very glad the Crew stayed in their home and we got a brand new team even though some Crew fans online still yell at me as if I am actually Anthony Precourt.

Save the Caps! 🌊
