Chant away Ultras:

"We don't give a F*** about Corona Virus!"

Then, two weeks later, at the next home game:

"We don't give a... *cough* *cough* *cough*"

 

Kid is no doubt traumatized.

Too late. He's already been signed as a homegrown discovery...

 

poor kids probably thinking "man, I can deal with all the human suffering in Aleppo and Yemen, I can roll with coronavirus and the crippling partisanship in this country but please, for the love of all things holy, don't make me have to watch that shit again."

 

Either that or he shaved his head so he could look like his new hero, Ike Opara.

 

....said no one ever...

 

NEWS: Our match against @SportingKC on March 21 will be postponed and rescheduled for a later date.

Looks like he left the game in his diaper.

I was going to get a new, personalized Quakes jersey, one which would definitely define this season.....the #19..... with "COVID" on the back. But, then Don might offer to buy me a Corona.

What? Too early?.........................duck.

 

Does this help? "No way affiliated with LA Galaxy legend Alan Gordon"

 

So much for social distancing. Call the cops.

Social distancing also doesn’t mean you relocate with someone’s personal belongings. https://t.co/h0LpMU0SLY

Krazy George among MLS' best gimmicks, behind only Timber Joey and his chain saw.

Pablo: It’s hard to imagine someone like Krazy George being conceived in the modern day. Increased sensitivity to mental illness has led all of us, as a society, to reserve the term “Krazy” for use as a bread descriptor. Yet there’s something comforting about Krazy George’s presence. He’s been a staple in the Bay Area for years.

To understand the full extent of George’s Kraziness, you have to understand his extremely politically incorrect origin story. In 1974, at the first-ever San Jose Earthquakes game, an ambulance came blaring out onto the field. Medics pulled a gurney out of the back and whipped off a sheet to reveal George — a stark-raving-mad, uh, ball boy. At least he happened to be clutching the game ball. Truly breathtaking.

Brooks: He has a book titled “Still Krazy After All These Cheers,” which is perhaps the greatest book title of all time, so he can do whatever he wants. Yes, the wave, which he is credited with inventing, has been a scourge on bland sporting events for years, but we all make mistakes. Plus, he’s getting up in years, so why not let him keep doing his thing for as long as he can?

Pablo: I should just mention that, of the humans on this list, I just have this feeling that Krazy George is the one most likely to get milkshake ducked.

Brooks: Really? After we just discussed THE MUSKET MEN?

Adam: What I love about this guy is that he is literally just a fan of cheering. He loves cheering so much. That, and the fact that he was apparently A MEMBER OF SAN JOSE STATE’S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP JUDO TEAM IN THE ’60S.

Brooks: He was also a high school shop teacher. Maybe I would like the pitchside record lathe more if Krazy George were operating it.

Pablo: Krazy George can stay for now. That’s my vote.

Adam: Frankly, I’m frightened of what Krazy George might do if I say he cannot stay. Judo is serious, man.

Not sure.
