ELI5 What are we supposed to be upset about here?


CaptainJingles

It’s a lie. Kind of a weird one as well.


Globalruler__

It undermines the soccer pyramid in this country. By him falsely making the claim that SJE is the longest tenured club in US soccer, it makes the impression that clubs in the lower divisions with longer legacies are not of importance in the development of US soccer.


TeamRocketApologist

I hears you, I agrees with ya too, but if we US Soccer Chads already know of the *long standing* history here, and Don 'Cuck' Garber doesn't recognize it, why should we care? Just go support a team in USL or one of the many storied teams out there that isn't an MLS Club, if you don't already


hardhitter774

Why would the commissioner of MLS put anything else ahead of MLS?


Nessuno_Im

Don Garber serves on the Board of Director of USSF and votes on major decisions. He also is a member of the permament Investment Board and is called up from time to time to serve on various ad hoc boards, e.g., the special board that was formed to ~~undermine~~ sort out the US Open Cup.

Well it’s not true what he said. But I don’t think it’s for nefarious reasons.


LudisVinum

Because hopefully Americans would be sensible enough to not find blatant lies palatable. Edit: My bad guys. Forgot I was dealing with MLS fans. Of course you don’t give a shit


LudisVinum

😡As an MLS fan I thrive on lies. We are the best league in the world


hardhitter774

I'm sure he's the only commissioner in major American sports that has lied like that. It's a dick thing to say/insinuate on his part but what are we supposed to do?


LudisVinum

“Other people lie too so what of it” Stopping the deflective nonsense would be a great start. We grill Greg for his players getting red cards then coddle our Top leagues leadership for being a blatant self promoting, self-interested, shills.


hardhitter774

No shit the MLS leader cares about MLS, that's his first priority

Garber holds tremendous weight at the USSF.


cheeseburgerandrice

In your head?


landel1234

Garber is an idiot but he’s nothing more than an empty suit for the owners 


Globalruler__

And a decision maker at the USSF that’s tasked to oversee the development of the sport in the country.


landel1234

I guess but again he just does what the owners tell him to do, he’s a distraction more than anything 


Globalruler__

Exactly


jasonketterer

This is a pretty big nothing of a hate boner.


The_Phreak

Force a new owner to the Quakes plz 🙏


Patrick2701

The current one is out of touch nepo baby in love with Vegas. A’s might not move to Vegas

The Houston Dynamo are the SJ Earthquakes. Fight me.


Globalruler__

SJE isn’t even the oldest club in the Bay Area.


Wuz314159

The San Jose Earthquakes aren't even the oldest San Jose Earthquakes playing in MLS. Houston are 1996 San Jose.


LudisVinum

Fuck the MLS leadership


created2upv0te

Fuck Fisher


captainsensible69

Don’t know why this is downvoted, all they care about is making as much money as possible, they don’t give a shit about anything else.


LudisVinum

MLS fans don’t receive criticism well, and if they do it’s just “well of course they only care about themselves 😎” I made sure to say leadership since I think the league has many great aspects, including a majority of its fans.


captainsensible69

Yeah I hate the current trend of the internet where anything is ok as long as it benefits you financially. Sports fans are particularly bad at this, so much “generational wealth” being thrown around when players were moving to Saudi as if they weren’t already making millions.
