TORONTO - Major League Soccer (MLS) side Toronto FC claimed victory in the race for the Supporters Shield with one game to go as they tweeted, “We have claimed, for trophy purposes, the Supporters Shield. Additionally, we hereby claim MLS Cup 2020.”

League sources indicate that, in fact, it does not matter if you claim something before you win it however that didn’t stop the Canadian side from claiming all the remaining 2020 trophies available.

“MLS Will not allow fans to view the games. As such, we find it important to indicate that we are claiming that this is a rigged competition and we are the winners,” stated Toronto FC individuals.

Sports writers were reportedly flummoxed by the situation as they indicated that they were pretty certain that you can’t just claim you are the winner. However writers with the Toronto Sun indicated that Toronto FC were beset by, “Woke, liberal, American elitists that are trying to steal the season from our hard working Canadians.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Toronto FC still end up playing the remaining games anyway.
