"nearby-but-minimally-convenient Harrison, N.J"

2:49 is still a stupid good marathon time.

You just sit around beating off to some scarf you ordered online of whatever EPL team you support (I imagine Man U or possibly Chelsea) and think of ways to shit on local soccer don't you? I'd be curious as to how many games you've actually been to or watched. Clearly you don't follow MLS other than whatever ESPN FC…

By definition if you cheer for your local team you are not a bandwagoner.

I think you are off base in some of your criticisms. Adding a few more teams isn't going to affect the current product on the field. There are plenty of players around that can fill those spots. The problem with the quality of players is the salary cap. That's it. Better ones are going to play elsewhere.

There's a fair bit of ignorance going on here. Whether it's intentional (ignoring things for the sake of bashing MLS) or not is hard to tell.

Please, if you are a journalist do your reasearch. Before you start with the Atlanta sports bias maybe figure out why the Thrashers didnt leave due to lack of support. A cursory examination of that situation makes it obvious that it isn't true. As for the Hawks, they are owned by Atlanta Spirit - former Thrashers…

It will be, they'll just have some tarps over them.

"Atlanta is a big, diverse city, but it doesn't have the Latino population MLS usually targets." Maybe I'm out of line here, but wasn't Mexico vs Nigeria a record-breaking sell out in ATL? You're telling me those were Nigerian fans?

Atlanta doesn't have a large Latino market? Are you surrrrrrrrre?

Is it common for a trend piece to be so inwardly focused? I know NYC gets a reputation for being blissfully unaware that it's part of an entire country. The soccer fan scene is pretty different as close as Albany, and I'm sure there are closer places that are nothing like this as well.

More proof that attention whore and basic human logic doesn't mix.

Wow, he must be REALLY mad at his dad.

When will this nation finally address the serious issue that is the cause of this young man's behavior—and is a national embarrassment—and finally outlaw performance art?

Parents, please pay attention to your kids. It help them not grow up to be like this guy

Before there was an internet, psycho losers like this just stayed inside and eventually killed themselves. I miss those days.

Fuck this guy

Yes, we all know the rule, and normally I think you're right. But this is the Masters, and it's highly likely that he didn't know. Bubba Watson famously said he couldn't even remember the last 9 holes when he won - they were all a blur (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sp…

Golf fans are just the fucking worst
