Nothing can go wrong now.As if the exhausting soap opera that is Toronto FC (aka "As The Ball Turns") isn't enough to grate on a supporter's last nerve, the talking point from yesterday's loss to San Jose isn't the fact that the rest of the MLS season is redundant but that a deep unhappiness is brewing in the club's star player. After team captain/ only dependable goal threat/ unfortunate hairstyle aficionado Dwayne De Rosario scored a goal which gave TFC a thread of hope in the match he decided to forgo his usual "Scarborough Stutterstep" celebration to instead stand in front of ML$E and the team bench making a cheque-signing motion.
In post game interviews, the blunt Scarberian expanded on his feeling of being undervalued adding a further shadow onto an already dark season. We're not going to get into whether De Ro is the club's most valuable player and if he deserves a pay increase (yes... and yes btw), but we do wonder what ML$E could offer him to make him feel the love he deserves...

6. Invited to visit ML$E's secret underground bouncy castle full of money
5. Allowed to fly the team's charter jet whenever he wants to
4. Invited to perform his post-goal strut on "So You Think You Can Dance Canada"

Yorkies, I wasn't at the game ... How did the "No beer, no gear" protest go?
ReplyDeleteWell, successful in our small patch of BMO Field but let's just call it a work in progress. Some supporters will need ML$E to take their first-born before really getting as upset as they should be while the new breed of BMO Tourists just don't understand why we are so angry/ saddened by the ownership's greed.
ReplyDeleteWe're in this for the long haul though - even if one person joins NO BEER. NO GEAR every game it's one less crystal and gold toilet in Chez Anselmi.
