I just wanted to make a few things clear. I realize I may have ome off sounding as though I do not appreciate all you do to support the team. I truly do think you all are doing a wonderful job. I also think all the non-members who regularly go out to the games are doing a great job too. Empty seats just don't look right during a game. Cheering,chanting or just yelling "Go Dynamo" makes the stadium come alive and I think the majority of people out there do a great job in that area. Last night I think everyone got a small bit of what was happening from their point of view.Honestly no one could hear or see everything. It was all bits and pieces that ended with a not so great night. I think all involved ,on both sides, said things that were out of line. Things happen when passion is flowing. Words were exchanged on both sides and it got ugly. I hope it will be a one time incident and we can move on. I just wanted to say I hope my posts did not or do not cause anymore to be made of this. If I offended anyone ...well, I'm honestly sorry. It was not my intention and I hope you know it is not my nature to be that way. I've been supporting this team for over 10 years. Through good and bad seasons they were and will continue to be my team. I'm extremely happy to see so many fans supporting the team and I hope we can continue to cheer them on to a repeat MLS Championship!
Thank you for expressing your opinion and informing us of what you saw. I rather we be honest with each other and not pump hot air on ourselves. There are people that go to the stadium that love the team enough to make time, buy a ticket and suffer for 90 min. and there are others that live and breath soccer so much that they form a supporters group, make flags and banners and spend all day at a tailgate, jump and chant all day long. I don't believe that any die-hard goes to the stadium looking for a fight with police and use the race card when confronted by those who are employed to keep the peace. I agree that it looks bad when a "drunk" uses the race card as an excuse for his wrong doings, but what's worse is when a official of the Law uses it. I respect the Police, my brother is a Sgt. in HPD. but believe me, that a Police officer can be very imperious. The employees at 5-star will not bother with a mom and a kid, but let them see 200 screaming fans all bunched together, waving dangerous weapons that look like flags and yelling stuff that they can't make out. believe me, they'll find 40 violations to the city code before the openning whistle
