Nature Abhors A Vacuum


So this is a pretty good story.

Two weeks ago MLS referee JC Rivero was arrested for unemployment fraud. Since that arrest, he has had a whistle and a fourth official assignment.

Earlier today in the referee forum I frequent someone apparently noticed this arrest and posted about it. Caused a little bit of discussion.

Hours later, the NYT has gotten wind of it and PRO pretends they knew about it the whole time and suspended Rivero.

On the one hand, I understand that as basically part time employees who don't show up to a central building every day to do an 8-to-5 that it's not totally crazy that PRO didn't know about the arrest. On the other hand, lol some random dude on the internet brought him down.

PRO was probably waiting on "innocent until proven guilty" (until this arrest came to light) but it's possible that he didn't even tell PRO.

Maybe the fourth official gave Rivero some extra time to disclose his activities.

In an upset that was bound to happen, I have been beaten. I failed to start Ethan Finlay and the motherfucker scores and has 2 assists for 14pts. And also the Galaxy gave up the shutout to the Sounders. Here are your scores:

code:
Stay Free Last Place	43 - 63		Higuain Chipshots
Apathy FC		51 - 53		the Malachi brunch
And your matchup for the STEVE SAMPSON CUP!:

I made it late to the Sounders match, so I nabbed the first ADA seat I could find - right in front of the LA Galaxy supporters.

No matter what happens, my section of the stadium will be partying like gently caress at the end of this match.

After poring over the data, I have concluded a shocking bit of info from this histrionic historic match.

If you note in this screen capture, you can precisely determine at what moment LA failed to equalize:



Wait, wrong clip. This was the one I'm looking for.

I believe the connection is that the San Jose Clash Earthquakes have been playing the long con and are trying to humiliate LA fans at every level of their tifo-unfurling support.

Good show, Eric Wynalda. I knew you still had it in you.

If he was there, he would be on the team, and I don't think he'd be upset at Klinsmann

I saw what looked to be a decent number of LA fans in the northern most 200 level section on the east sideline. Didn't see any drums or signs, but I think that's where they normally put supporters unless there are enough to put them in the 300s.

They were in the 200s, a solid chunk of them, and I even heard them cheer once!

Sorry Qu, I was at home putting a door in the back of my garage. I saw the line-up and when Keane didn't even travel, I just put the game on the garage tv and used it as background noise. There was no way we were winning without Keane there and I have a feeling Bruce didn't give enough of a poo poo about the Shield and wanted Robbie ready for the play-offs. But gently caress man, Leonardo didn't play bad. It was strange.

So weird being at a Revs game where the team's on a hot streak, the weather's nice, there's a big crowd, and the playoff positions are set such that there's nothing at stake in the match. A good night.
