There are a few bad apples, and well throwing stuff a Wicks should be a requirement of all fans. I ran into nothing but great people when a group of us headed to Seattle for RSL’s 2009 opener, we walked around their town for two days in our full RSL gear and the people were great. We went into their bars and drank with them and had a great time, a few bad apples at the match but the vast, vast majority were great.

It was the same thing when we were up there for MLS Cup, every team has a few rotten apples that show up, drink more than they can handle and do stupid things. Hell it even happens here in Salt Lake City.

Oh, and a whaddyacallit…. MLS Cup.

I just feel that this won’t be the only instance of choking in Seattle this season.

Only when it comes to playing Portland. Seattle may have rubbed us the wrong way (to put it mildly), but they really only get out of control when it comes to the Timbers. Similarly, I was once told by a Timbers fan that the Timbers are the only evidence that North America can support a European-style soccer culture. It must just be something in the water in the Pacific Northwest.
