Moderators, if you feel this is in poor taste, please don’t hesitate to delete. Thank you in advance. Hello Quakes fans. Please don’t think I’m coming to troll, I’m simply coming to ask for your help. Many of you have publicly expressed your support of for the situation that we Crew fans are finding ourselves in. For that we thank you. I've seen on twitter so many of you guys saying "We understand and we know how you feel." Thank you so much for that support. It really means a lot. I personally find those things helpful when I wake up and I'm feeling mentally defeated and before I get my mojo going. Truly, thank you. I ask that you give us just 60 more seconds of support to go to https://savethecrew.com/letter and sign the letter. You can select your club at the bottom and I believe that the more fans from around the league that sign this, the louder the collective voice will be. Selfishly, I say “thank you” for helping support us in this time of need. But also, I remind you to think about the other teams that this could happen to. Some day in the future, this could happen to your team as well. Please don’t let the league start a bad precedent. Thank you, Ian Fontaine
Signed. We really need to write to our own team leadership and demand that they oppose this foul move. Do we have a good address to use? Go Quakes!! Stay Crew!! - Mark
Signed, and you can be forgiven for the "mail merge" last paragraph as this is the only MLS team forum where folks can say "been there, done that".
Uh...been there? Done that? Talk about a classless statement... Are these folks being intentionally daft when it comes to us? First there was throwing us under the bus on Reddit, and now this? WTF man? Du ma may Columbus. Di chet di.
That's the problem when you write a form letter and forget the personal approach. I don't know what reddit is and what bus you were thrown under, but for this one, I own it. I am sorry about that.
Oh please. Can we try to go easy on our fellow soccer fans? Aren't they dealing with enough right now? We've all taken shortcuts, and this isn't nearly as bad as the time you applied for a job at Microsoft and told them how much you'd love to work at Apple.
Signed. Hey Mark, resistbot.io recommends that political feedback should be in your own words and short. So I wrote my own letter and emailed it to my sales rep Alyssa Wong (awong @ sjearth... you know the rest). She forwarded it to her VP, who said he would forward it to Jared Shawlee. That's not a very comforting chain, but Alyssa thought that would work better than my mailing in a printed letter. Hope you send a letter to the quakes. It can't hurt, and then mine won't be the only letter. cheers, -mj lee
Agreed. We got screwed in the past, that's a given, but why should we dump on people that are going through much the same as we did?
