    I just cant believe that the league is doing this to us. A game on mother's day is basically bad decision from the league. This is a family day, which is mainly celebrated at home or go to where ever your mother lives. Is a family day. Few people will take their mother to Giant Stadium. This is a day to share, drink, enjoy and do a lots of barbeque at home, in your backyard or else. MLS should look into this things. They need to consult the public and be more sensitive to everyone's situation. Who agrees with me?

    What's the problem JLG? My wife once specifically requested going to an MLS game for her Mother's Day present.

    My mom is going to the game so I don't agree w/ you Juan... Are you asking the same thing of the NHL and NBA...they have games on Mother's Day too... you should bring the BBQ and mom to the game...

    If I'm not mistaken, the NBA even has a game on Christmas Day. Also, my son's league (the Northern Counties Soccer Association) has lots of games scheduled on Mother's Day. Take your mother to the game Juan Luis.

    Why a game on mother's day?

    This better not be like McGreevey's party!
    Many years ago, the Cosmos played on Father's Day. IIRC, that was their first huge crowd ever at GS, about 60,000! The game may have been promoted as a good Father's Day gift!

    This ain't the first time... IIRC, they always give out a carnation to the Moms in attendance.

    Bringing my mommy to the game, so all is well.

    Sorry, but the idea of all sunday games being canceled for mother's day of all things, is incredibly stupid. Maybe it's just me.

    There's some sort of high school all-star competition right after the game, so I bet all the families with that will be there for the game :)

    MLS has a national television contract with Telemundo/Univision whatever.


    That is for Sunday matches.


    Someone had to play today it just happens to be us and lets not kid ourselves Mother's Day is a sham Hallmark Holiday anyway its not like the club is asking you to come out on Christmas Morning.


    Take your mommy to a nice brunch give her some flowers and a card that says thanks for everything and kiss her on the cheek and go watch some damn futbol.

    Crap holiday....why does everyone feel they have to go nuts for Mom day but Dad day gets the shaft, would anyone be starting this thread if it was Father's Day...NO...cause guys dont need bullshit holidys to make them feel important.

    The stars aligned for me on this game. The last few yrs i know it was played on Sat and we had to miss due to daughters dance recital. Also, the kids' travel soccer games have been xl'd due to over booking the fields. So I'm gloating because this Mom can make this game guilt free!:D

    Looking forward to watching JPA play with the boys!
