Sacramento, CA - Long campaigning for his team to move to Major League Soccer, Sacramento Republic fan Paul Sanchez admitted that he felt an immediate wave of sickening regret as he watched the MLS announcement presentation.
“Dear God in heaven…. what have we done,” stated Sanchez to the celebrating groups of fans that ignored him. “I …. oh… um… I think we made a mistake.”
Sanchez reportedly spent the last three years trying everything in his power to get the team into Major League Soccer as he battled his own ever increasing feelings that perhaps this wasn’t the league he wanted his team to be a part of in the first place.
“So now we have to deal with increased team security, increased fan security, increased league security, increased supporters group visibility, playing against teams financed by billionaires and a mercurial rules system that seems to favor the teams with huge financial pockets….. yeah, this is going to be something.”
Sanchez admitted that he was likely in the minority of Republic fans, most of whom spent the day celebrating, however this didn’t stop him from stating his concerns to everyone around him as they accused him of being a rain cloud.
“I’m just saying that all you have to do is look at the way the league is this year, and the way they handled things with fans over the past few years and all the stuff we are going to have to do just to coordinate away travel or watch our team play on the road. Who the hell has ESPN News? Just come back and talk to me after you write something on how we are going to construct a lineup with TAM and GAM and all that shit. It was just approximately a year and a half ago that a team like Columbus was moving to Austin because the league.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Sanchez tries to cheer himself up by claiming that none of the stuff that has happened to other fans and teams in the league could ever happen in Sacramento.
