The history RBNY has against the New England Revolution and specifically on the road is substantial and the last place a road weary and injured squad wants to see is probably Gillette Stadium anyway.
While we sympathize with Energy Drink fans on the loss of the great Aaron Long (which also has significant USMNT implications in a heavy international year), especially coming off of last year’s injury to Carles Gil. We of course wish Aaron a speedy recovery in hopes he can feature for the United States during the 2022 calendar year. But I don’t know how to cheer up RBNY fans looking at this:

Unless you were under a rock or maybe just aren’t on Twitter, you probably saw that the Columbus Crewchanged their name this week. Yes, the powers that be decided that the best way to celebrate the club that fans painstakingly saved from relocation was to erase any history and identity from its official brand. You’re not going to hear any contrarianism on this front -
Columbus SC sucks. It’s trash, it’s tacky, it’s cheugy.or not cheugy? Anyway, it’s however your age cohort describes bad lame things.
