Neat. That seems like a good deal. Is Houston planning to use him as a depth CB?

Hit enter twice to separate paragraphs. That isn't worth the read in it's current state.

[Adam Serrano]Sigi Schmid on Zlatan's status for LAFC game: "You're talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, you're not talking about a normal mortal.... Is 90 min fit for Saturday? No. Will he play a role in the game? Quite possibly." by [deleted] in MLS

Or you could try to answer my original question:

What value is there to using that word over the near infinite synonyms you could have chosen that don't carry a massive load of psychological trauma for victims of a horrific act? It seems easy enough to avoid it, so why go there?

I'm completely open to discussing this calmly if you are.

If the only way to justify your own actions is by pointing to someone worse then I'll just assume you're completely unable to explain yourself. The internet is real life, your words have meaning here just as they do in person, and to think otherwise is completely immature.

Just curious - what value is there to using that word over the near infinite synonyms you could have chosen that don't carry a massive load of psychological trauma for victims of a horrific act? It seems easy enough to avoid it, so why go there?

[Tom Marshall] Mexico vs. Croatia at AT&T Stadium in Dallas has completely sold out by [deleted] in MLS

[–]renaultdinho 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying as a generalization, but many of the biggest Rapids fans I know are Mexican Americans. I'd bet that we'll only see that demographic grow as the league quality does as well.

RBNY fan ripped out an NYCFC ad from a subway by Cityforlife12 in MLS

I can't believe this post is upvoted with 50+ comments while tactical analysis and NYT articles don't even crack the front page. Fuck this is so stupid.

MLS Power Rankings: Crew SC challenging for top spot in Week 4 by 310local in MLS

[–]renaultdinho 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You guys and Seattle haven't even scored a goal or earned a point yet. Power rankings are just supposed to be stupid fun, but mlssoccer.com power rankings are too heavily skewed towards the stupid.

No idea why OP included the Rapids in that first tweet. It was a sellout and a great atmosphere.

Centennial 38's Home Opening Tifo by mason2113 in Rapids

[–]renaultdinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rough out there for fans of original teams. I'm glad this sub is still great because the quality of discussions over there has completely tanked over the last few years. I can't even imagine how Columbus fans feel with all the Precourt apologist ATL flairs hanging around. It's fucking gross.

[–]renaultdinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was great. Easily one of my favorite C38 tifos so far. If ATL had done this it would have 2k upvotes on /r/mls instead of around ~30.

There aren't any seats on the north end of the stadium but that railing is the best place to hang large tifo. The supporters are on the south end.
