It has nothing to do with being against fascism and everything to do with promoting fascism from their own political side.
It's more of a "it's fashionable to call what I don't agree with by the most ridiculous, inflammatory, dehumanizing name available that everyone agrees is bad" thing.
Yeah, I asked the club about it both last year and this year but haven't had a response. I'm unshocked by that by now.

This is entirely irrelevant but I coach soccer in Hilliard and we are working with Foffee to sell some coffee and fundraise some money for program, if anyone is interested! https://foffee.org/collections/hilliard-bradley
Thom Brennaman wants his job back. I always liked his work but you cant refer to San Francisco as " the f*g capital of the world"? live on the air and then expect everybody to forget about it. I mean seriously, you couldn't even get back on BigSoccer let alone the public airwaves. Look at HelicopterBoi.
Thom needs to just go away. He might have been a fine football announcer, but he was a terrible baseball announcer who only got the Reds TV gig because of his dad.
So why hasn’t anyone shared this yet? Same on you all that I had to find out about this from another social media platform.
I'm sure it's been mentioned around here before. That promo/preview has made the rounds a couple times on Crew social media and I am pretty sure has been posted in this thread somewhere. No idea when it premieres, but that trailer has been out for more than I year now I think. That might not bode well for it....
Maybe an architect-type can explain more, but the Chicago Bears may be moving to a Chicago suburb. One of the things they want is a roof. The below article mentions a "retractable dome" which sounds a lot like what Historic Crew Stadium will get or possibly already has. As said numerous times, HCS couldn't add any sort of roof or overhang like what LDC has. Is someone in Chicago full of hot air? If we couldn't get a roof/overhang, how can they? https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-h...soldier-field-lease-expand-renovate-lightfoot
HCS probably could have had a roof built over the stands. It just wouldnt have been justifiable as the stands werent such that you could just attach a roof to the existing structure. A roof probably would have had to been a whole entire new structure independent of the stands that would've cost as much as the stadium itself. Would not have been money well spent. From what I can tell, the retractable dome they speak of for an NFL stadium is not the same thing HCS has/will have. I think HCS is probably getting like one of those white bubble things that just covers the field area to allow for all-season training. Wouldnt cover the stands. The retractable roof they speak of for an NFL stadium is gonna be a mega expensive full roof over the entire stadium that can open and close as needed. They might not be able to just integrate one of those into historic Soldier Field....possibly necessitating a move into a new facility.
Yeah, what the Bears would seem to want is a billion dollar, retractable roof NFL palace. Several orders of magnitude removed from a seasonable bubble that covers just the turf field at HCS.

I went to a meeting last week at which Tom Sussi was a speaker. You may remember him from his investigative journalism days with local news. Anyway, he's now running for public office in Columbus. One of the things he mentioned was how "this administration has spent too much money on ice arenas and soccer stadiums." Too bad Morgan and/or Keith weren't there to rip him a new one.
Sussi is a long shot independent candidate for Columbus city council. He sort of has a point, especially about Nationwide Arena. There were lots of promises that it would be privately funded, then that casino money would pay for it. For LDC, I thought the city's money was used for infrastructure upgrades in the area and at the fairgrounds for the city recreational facility. Did any city money go into the actual construction of LDC?
And I kinda see that point. The trick is that some are against any funds--including infrastructure--which rightly is the city's responsibility. Objecting to infrastructure is unrealistic. Lumping all infrastructure in the area to the "sports" bucket is also unfair, but has been commonly done by opponents (the pedestrian bride for one). Now the city often works out deals where the developers do some of the infrastructure--but that's usually in return for tax breaks--and it makes sense to do infrastructure at the same time as construction.
No city money went into construction of the stadium. He's trying to get votes from suckers who think that money *did* go to the stadium *or* that the Haslam family should be responsible for the public stuff at the fairgrounds.
Yeah. While it's true that LDC (and even Huntington Park) were built with private money, public things, such as sidewalks and streetlights were built with public money. Tom Sussi is trying to get votes from people who think that the various team FOs should have been responsible for all related development, including public areas that are open 24/7 and, well, public. When the arena was built, the expansion of Nationwide Blvd was probably public money, as it should have been. (Now, for private access roads where an ID may be required, loading docks/zones or a driveway into a garage, that's a different story. As an example, there's that brick alley near Chipotle and Buca di Beppo. While it's public, it's not *really* a road.) I'd imagine it'd be the same if an office or anything else wanted to build on vacant land. Would the private business be responsible for public infrastructure such as sewers or streetlights? Should they? (If it were a church, I'd imagine things would get tricky if public money were used to build/expand sewer lines under a public sidewalk.) Unfortunately, there's a number of people in Columbus who are against sports/development/things and still believe that idiot Bill Bush who believe the city gave money towards the stadium itself...and that makes me frustrated.
