from mlsnet.com "When we go to things like that, we're not about to throw the Crew card to get some sort of special treatment."
Huh? Doesn't seem all that odd to me. Without even reading the context of the statement, my guess is that at some kind of function or event, he's suggesting that they could claim "VIP" treatment and barge to the head of the line, etc., but they aren't going to do that. How many other pro ath-uh-leets would act that way? Then again, if I were a Crew player right now, I don't know if I would want that to get out in public... Tom
Come on, now. Are you seriously suggesting that throwing around the fact that you play for an MLS team is going to get you ANYTHING? Okay...maybe you get some quizical looks from people who don't know what the heck MLS is. Throw out the Crew card.....what a joke. "Hey, Mr. backstage roadie, psst.....I'm Kyle Martino, can I get in??" "Who??!!!" "Kyle Martino.....I play for the Crew" "The who?? Get lost kid, I'm trying to round up some hotties for the band" "The Columbus Crew......the MLS team" "Honestly, if you don't get out of my way in 5 seconds I'm gonna get MY crew to beat the living crap out of you" "Fine, but next time you want tickets to see Freddy Adu, you are just gonna have to pay the $15 yourself, buddy"
It's just like a gold card, except without any privileges. And without any wins. And only the infrequent tie. The Crew Card: don't leave home ... and expect to get a point. The Crew Card: working wonders for Brian West all over Norway. The Crew Card: redeemable for the first pick in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
