Crew Release Statement

As expected after the fan situation in Columbus, Mark McCullers has released a statement on behalf of the Crew. It is nice to see the Crew are stepping in to handle the situation before the league can. Hopefully this ends this matter and we can move on with the MLS season.

“We appreciate the energy and support we receive from our fans and understand that emotions run high during games, but there is no excuse for the reprehensible behavior exhibited by the fan heard in the video clip that has surfaced. That kind of behavior has no place in our stadium, or in our society, and we strongly condemn it. Safety and fan experience have always been top priorities of both our organization and Major League Soccer, and we will continue to evaluate and enforce safety and sportsmanship policies at Crew Stadium.”
