Wikipedia also points out that it was a German paramilitary organization that was banned in 1933. If there are actually any members of the paramilitary organization still around, they’d be over 100 years old and not very likely to be spotted at soccer games in Portland.

as some who goes to a game a year, if you weren’t seeing the three arrows, you weren’t looking. And you’re wrong because the thing with Seattle is cool because it’s about presenting a united front and recognizing that some things are bigger than the game.

Imagine a bunch of people in military uniforms waving political flags while they sing political songs before the MLS match even starts- outrageous!

Come on man, that’s PATRIOTISM not POLITICS.  

I’m gonna get exposed to a flyover tonight and be asked to stand for the National Anthem even though I’m just there to watch a football game.

Oh fantastic. My back’s been hurting since I was in a car accident earlier this year. Now I’m going to freak myself out worrying about having some sort of terminal spine infection.

Very sad how far the Freeze has fallen in one year.

The people who find this inspiring are the ones who only see God's handiwork in this rather than an idiot who ignored symptoms for too long and then was saved by medical science. 

Do people find this sort of thing inspiring? Just rest and recover you fucking lunatic, you are not that indispensable, nor is telling a bunch of guys chasing a ball around what to do worth it.

As Nigel Tufnel will tell you, they can’t prove whose vomit it was since there’s no way to dust for it.

“That’s not like him...” they say.

They should blame the real culprit responsible for taking far too many innocent lives: puke.

We will not rest until we learn the truth about how Tyler came into possession of these narcotics

I get the parent’s grief. But blaming some locker room attendant for running out to score him some drugs and not Skagg’s himself is some next level denial. His death is indeed tragic and I wish he got some help, but it was his decision to make this fatal mistake. Jamming up some underling is bullshit.

An officer unleashed pepper spray and smacked Bernard with a baton before he was captured, officials said.

Nate, your ability to take abstract concepts in an unfamiliar environment and make them tangible for a reader is impressive.  Only the worst imbeciles on the planet are going to think that your writing is overly dramatic here.  My experience with pain and mental anguish in football is right in line with you and I had…
