Minnesota, MN - Minnesota United fan Steve Jefferson indicated that he was worried that he would be forced to endure politics and protests in the stands again after skimming over the online reports of multiple nights of protest over the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department.
“I go to the games to forget everything,” stated Jefferson to The Nutmeg News. “And reminding me that things aren’t as good for other people as they are for me is really annoying. My life is pretty great and I think the life of my children is pretty great so I don’t like the supporters groups pretending like things are bad. This is the greatest country in the world, period. Just look at the overall mortality rate! We’ve been doing nothing but getting better and better despite what the negative naysayers would have you believe. People should protest appropriately, like I did when I was frustrated that the City alderman wasn’t tough enough on crime and I went to the club to speak with him privately in a steam room.”
Jefferson indicated that he was exceptionally frustrated when Minnesota United supporters flew Iron Front and Anti-Fascist flags in the stands last year.
“Those flags and that protest, so stupid. All those antifers nearly ruined the Gelato I had after the game. I was so distressed that I bought a thin blue line flag off Amazon so that I could show my support of the police. Honestly, I like to escape the world in general and I’m worried that the liberal media encouraging riots after the death of this person I didn’t know will significantly impact my chillaxification time at the games next year when all this hysteria dies down after the CoronaFlu.”
For all his concern, however, Jefferson stated that he remains positive about the situation.
“I only know that if we give this situation a few more months that everyone that I care about will forget all about it and I’ll be able to go to games again without having to worry about banners that make me think about things that I disagree with.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Jefferson’s daughter heads out for night 4 of the protest.
