    I still love going to away matches, and will be going to Montreal, LA, CHicago, and Atlanta the rest of this season, but ZERO stokage for home matches. its freaking sad and brings tears to my face. I thought I would be crying the first match at the new stadium for being so happy.....nope

    It's posts like these that help me remember where other people are coming from, so thanks.

    My hope is that you and people that feel the same way don't hold any ill will towards me and people that feel the same way just because we don't feel the same way, and just want to go watch games and support the team. Just because I'm still going and going to be in the supporter's end (unless it's really bad) doesn't mean I'm happy with what's going on. I'd just still rather go than not go. I hope that you don't all hold contempt for people that are still happy to go and have a good time.

    Anyone who stands in the north end it a traitor in my eyes. I am sorry, but everyone should be standing up against the SEs and the DCU FO. trust me, dont want to feel this way, but I do. We are fighting for 1000's of folks who will never be able to attend a match, and folks who stand there dont care in my eyes.

    You just said you were actively rooting for the team to lose. I'm going to support the team. But I'm the traitor? Who are these 1000s of people that can't go to a game? Don't call me a traitor and go ******** yourself. I have no obligation to you.

    I'm all for doing whatever makes you happy. At the end of the day, you put your hard earned cash up for the tickets.

    My beef is with the people holding the strings not Joe Fan who wants to enjoy the game.

    most of the Barra and DU members who cant afford season tickets, nor afford $60-$100 tickets either. least with BB and DU you had the opportunity to go to the match and would have for $25/match at Audi if we had seats.

    Of course I am not rooting for the club to lose, why would I pay for all these away trips. I was just saying for the FO i wish it would go bad to force the issue.

    I do not see you standing up to the SE board and calling them out...so what are you then?

    Mr. Whipple is ok at stopping runs but Charmin has flushed its defense in the past few weeks. It used to be good for clogging up shit but now its value as a defense has plunged.

    What don't you understand. I have no obligation to stand up to anyone. What am I? I'm a D.C. United fan, not a Screaming Eagle fan, not a Barra Brava fan, not a DU fan. I'm not part of your shitposting and boycotting army. I'm not going to make hilarious latte jokes or create stupid fake twitter accounts or post negatively on every possible facebook or twitter post.

    If you're going to call me and others traitors (to groups I have never been a part of?) for using our time and tickets how we want, then I lose any sort of sympathy I have for you.

    Long-standing fans of DC United are traitors. Sounds a lot like Trump.

    Yeah, I think calling someone who wants to be in the North End at AF a traitor is going way too far.
