George Solomon, the former AME Sports (that's the guy who ran the Washington Post sports section for so many years and who opened it up to better soccer coverage), in his weekly column (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/30/AR2006123000114.html), had this to say about us:
Love D.C. United's diverse and enthusiastic fandom.
He also had this to say about other soccer topics:
Liked the World Cup -- won by Italy.
Did not like France's Zinedine Zidane's head-butt of Italy's Marco Materazzi that may have cost France the championship. Nor did I like the treatment of Bruce Arena, who was dismissed as national coach after guiding the United States to a top 10 position in world soccer.
And the column has some easy reading about other DC sports.
But I've got to agree about the first quote...what makes our fandom so great here is the diversity of backgrounds that assembles at RFK (and even at occasional hockey games and bars) to give love to our team.
So here's to us, and may we and our team all have a great New Year.:D
