If Utah has a succesful team with tons of great fans then other teams can be succesful. We need to encourage other fans to cheer as loudly as we do and to be as supportive of their teams as we are. We are all really in this together as soccer fans in the USA. Its tough being a soccer fan in a country where highschool football is more of a front page story. Of course I know how bloody it gets in other countries between fans of opposing teams...(I'm a Juventus fan), but I think we could share with them our success to make all of the MLS teams have the kind of fans that RSL has.

I'm going to be at the MLS cup this weekend cheering for the success of soccer in the USA!!!! YAY! 😍

First of all, congratulations on going to the MLS Cup. That's great! I'm jealous!

Second, People who act as Trolls on someone elses site leave themselves open to this kind of smack talk. Also, they expect it. I'm sure that JasonMa will agree that when he comes here and posts, he expects a certain level of antagonism. It goes with the territory. When we go to their site, we expect, and receive, the same. It is all in good fun (though sometimes, I think people go a bit too far, but I'm a softie). When the RMC was formed, JasonMa was one of the main instegaters. He and his Rapids cohorts did a very good job on that, so he has my respect.

Having said all that, and thirdly, JasonMa, the Crapids Supporters are really only Class One! They need to send an intern to our games to see how to support a team.

I LOVE this idea. We need to start a Crapids intern program. We can sponsor a few interns from Colorado, put them up at our houses, drive them to the games, let them try out the drums and throw streamers,

we can write down great lines for them to memorize and shout at other players.

Fan interns for Crapids.

Best.Idea.Ever.

Obviously you have never had an intern or been one.

If they stayed at my house it would be in the fort part of the kids' playset. They could hold my water bottle during the game, and I would let them carry things into the stadium, but once in the stadium I would not allow them to touch a drum, cowbell, streamer, or anything else.

Also, to be eligible they would have to prove that they can with stand being hit by a 1.2 pound bag of paper without falling over. That qualification alone would keep all potential applicants out.
