Columbus Crew Fans Are Lame
Posted by Mookie under MLS? We're talking about the MLS?, Soccer, Youtube VideosI know what you’re thinking….yes, the MLS teams in the US do have fans. The Columbus Crew fans apparently don’t want to cross the border for their match against Toronto FC on May 17th.
It’s understandable, you have to have a passport and everything. Some of these guys have families to take care of and schedule conflicts. Oh yeah, and the Crew have the lowest attendance in the MLS on average.
But you mean to tell me you could not find 55 Crew fans to go to Toronto to support their team? Via Crewture:
Attention all Crew fans, I recently received an e-mail from the Crew Union that stated the bus trip to Toronto was cancelled due to lack of interest! What the heck is my only response! Those Canadians come all the way to OUR HOUSE and we don’t even have the guts to return the favor! Only 18 seats out of 55 were sold!!
Which is weird, because here are the Toronto fans in Columbus.
That’s 2,500 TFC fans for ya….what’s the problem Columbus?

i’m not going because Toronto is not the city I wish to travel to. The away trip that I always look forward to is the Chicago trip. Great town and always a great match. What you won’t hear about is the fact that they’ll have no trouble getting people on the bus trip to Chicago. You commit the locial falicy of suggesting that the Crew fans are lame when in fact it very may well be Toronto… Sorry to hurt your feelings…

Fair enough, that’s your reason, I’m fine with that.
But again, it’s only 55 people needed, what happened to the other 36 that couldn’t go?
You will need the team bus though next time Columbus goes to Toronto, there is a transit strike.

The bigger problem is the lack of interest in soccer in the U.S. How could a sport that is so popular on the high school level be so irrelevant on a major league level?
Not that I care.
I’m a football/baseball guy.
