    Man what a flashback, look closely at those photos....it's the history of The Crew and US Soccer. Lamar, McBride, Mas, Warzycha, Cunningham, Martino, Clark, Dunseth, Cobi Jones, and Lalas.

    The thing I remember most about the Open Cup win was how disgusted LA washout losing to the Crew. They couldn't believe they didn't win. I think Lalas is still angry about that loss.

    Why are these articles afraid to call Precourt what he actually is? He is not a hedge fund manager, he’s a trust fund baby with almost zero real world work experience.

    Why is it easier to lie about it than to tell the truth?

    So you think they lied? Or maybe they just didn't get as deep into the details as you'd prefer. They also gave Clark Hunt more credit than he deserves, not mentioning Lamar at all. So, no, it's not perfect. But Jesus H Christ, not every imperfection in a story is evidence of lying.

    And the point of the story was not to talk about Anthony Precourt or Don Garber, or any other higher-up. It was a story about the fans.

    Where's the lie? Anthony Precourt is a hedge fund manager by trade, he's worked for multiple investment houses before founding his own firm, and then moving into sports ownership. I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to be that he sill spends the majority of his working time in capital management and not running Two Oak Ventures.

    Just because you don't agree with a certain truth does not make it a lie.

    The only money Precourt has managed since his brief stint with an actual firm is his own.

    This isn't conjecture, it's fact that was brought out during the #savethecrew movement.

    He is not a hedge fund manager and I have never seen evidence he even holds a license to manage securities.

    Calling him a hedge fund manager isn't just lazy, it's a complete lie.

    And since the article was not about him, why even include it?

    Today is the 10 year anniversary of a brave group of Crew fans starting the Mormons, Hookers and Goats tour. (hint, I was not one of them unfortunately) @HardHatMike

    This was the best crew game I've been to. Never doubted we could come back. And JPD really botched the call on the game winning goal.

    Unless I'm missing something, Wikipedia says it was in April:

    Indeed, I remember DVR'ing the one Crew game and watching the OSU tournament game.
