#5 "ignited a firestorm on social media" probably means one person who attended the game complained on Facebook and/or Twitter. After that, all the SJWs piled on. Maybe the Real Salt Lake should check with people who actually attend the game.

#6 Dell Loy Hansen joined the RSL ownership in 2009, before acquiring full ownership in January 2013. "Since then Hansen has worked with the management team regarding the direction and strategy of each business unit, as well as the potential real estate development around Rio Tinto Stadium."

#7 Mens soccer?? Do they spend the game faking injuries? Or just keeping in touch with their inclusion feelings. I have to wonder what the Hooligans in Europe think of all this.

#8 Not the first time I’ve quoted this here at Rantburg.

“Soccer was invented by European women to keep them busy while the men cooked dinner.”

#10 The rest of the world calls it football because we prefer to kick and not carry the ball across the field.

#11 The hilarious Texas sportswriter Dan Jenkins: "How can you trust a sport where nobody falls on a loose ball?"

#13 I wonder how the New England Revolution will react to this. Watch for massed Betsy Ross flags from the Fort.

#14 ...hmmmm, maybe not.

The Gillette Stadium atmosphere is driven by the Revolution’s most vocal and passionate fans who call “THE FORT” home.
