    My wife who is pro Kie Kamara and me not some much,are in agreement about being unhappy about the sad state of the Crew at the moment. We normally show up at the game wearing black and yellow clothing. Today she told me she was not going to wear yellow. She was going to wear all black because she is in mourning about the sad condition of our team. While being a loyal Crew fan I cannot see myself driving for 90 minutes each way to suffer watching the poor performance that is being displayed on the field every week. We don't need the team to be world champions but do need it to be exciting,entertaining and competitive!!!

    Oh, get over yourselves. You need to support a team that is willing to buy your happiness. Go ahead and pick from LA, Toronto, Seattle or NYCFC. They aren't playing as well as everyone hoped, but take your protest and support someone else.

    We have supported the Crew since 1996 bought season tickets every year, worked 12 to 16 hours on Saturday and Sunday, sleeping only in the car on the way to and from the games. I am not whining I am just trying to tell the team management that they can't just throw crap on the field and expect fans to flock to the games. We do expect to be competitive and I do believe most fans would agree. I ran my own business for over fifty years and I know if I put these kind of product out of my business I would not be in business very long. Why would I drive a round trip of three hours,why would anyone from Cincinnati drive that far when they have a team of their own. Many businesses go out of business because they don't do the best they can do for their customers. Go Crew!!!

    @Dan Milton How loud do you expect this protest to ring in the front office while two additional people in a sea of black and yellow wear black instead of yellow?...asking for a lot of friends. I'll hang up now and listen.

    Wish I hadn't lost the drive with all the photos of the anti-Drooler protests. Pink slips, bags on heads, confiscated signs, the whole deal.

    Chelsea. The Archangel of the Upper Deck.

    That clip of Skippy the Moron being showered with pink paper while security laughed is an all time Crew classic.

    A "protest" involving wearing one of the primary team colors to the game?

    This would only work if nearly everyone, or even all of Nordecke, did it-- and it still might go unnoticed or right now be misinterpreted as support for victims of recent worldwide tragedies.

    It was only a thought not a movement. That reminds me of something Arlo gunthre said in Alice's restaurant but I don't quite remember the exact quote!
    My wife told me that was something she was doing and thought it was worth mentioning. You never know how or when a amovement can begin.

    It's been a bad two months, but I don't want a throw everything out yet. I would to keep a core intact and make smaller changes rather than get stuck in a revolving door of coaches and players like TFC had been.

    I think this will turn around, and I think Gregg can still bring us a championship. Just not this year.

    Does that violate any kind of KHT bylaws? I'm really scared about the future of society right now.

    Nope, that is a reward for someone who deserves it. Nothing to do with KHT, three points or any other boob reason.

    I am somewhat embarrassed that I just now repped this because I just now made the connection. I hang my head.
