New England Revolution Have Bigger Issues Than Swearing - RSL Soapbox
With attendance regularly hovering around 10,000 and losses piling up almost as fast as the team can schedule games, not a lot is going right with the New England Revolution. That they are now grabbing headlines for perceived mistreatment of some of their most loyal fans is hardly something they wanted. Just about every supporters group in MLS has done something to show support and from the looks of it some of them will even be making public displays this week.
RSL Soapbox, SB Nation’s Real Salt Lake blog, knows all about teams struggling with how to deal with swearing supporters, and lists off several ways how this is all going pear-shaped for the Revolution. Among the most simple is just the general idea of making such a fuss over swearing:
1) Swearing happens - in life, at home, at sports, in schools, and the harsh reality is that while there will always be a few people who may be offended by it, there is simply no way to police every incident of it. Now I can agree that listening to a fan or group of fans swear for hours on end is boorish at best, and annoying at worse, but it clearly isn’t something that should be handled with the tactics that appeared to have been used in New England.
