Then they should call it "LA Trafica"  Spelling error or not :pBut regardless, that's a horrifically bad name for a match you want to build up hype for. Get ready for the greatest match of the season, the LA derby, the one and only "el tráfico"! Rofl | ||

A lot of articles about how it doesn't look good for the world cup etc.. I dont think it will stop from simply stopping a game not just the one game anyway. I think retroactive punishment that actually hurts fans in general could work. The obvious collateral are the fans who dont do anything but thats the only way to pariah this behavior. things that are so ingrained they are normalized need bigger shocks to the system for it any meaningful change to take effect in my opinion. Pretty sure the referee has liberty under the rules to stop games when it happens. Its just a very difficult and extremely brave decision to make, with literally no margin for error. | ||

With international games its pretty easy to tell Again the point is to pariah the behavior regardless of whose fans are doing it. Its not a complicated concept to understand.

Honestly American commentators in general seem to be pretty bad. Hes an alum from my Uni, fits the stereotype of douche Jock to a T. Hes also got a chronic case of resting douche face. Did I mention hes a douche? | ||

Did I mention hes a douche? im just using clubs as my example, cause there's been examples of leagues making clubs play in empty stadiums due to fan racism, so im just wondering if anyone knew how they determine that the fan is from that club. | ||

Investigating these sorts of things is not as complicated an exercise as you are imagining. Provided there is will and intent to do so. Theres camera, security, other staff, witnesses. Fan heckling and abuse is not limited to football and lots of sports are able to sanction fans / teams for fan misbehavior. And sure if part of that investigation involves looking up that guy on facebook... thats not a particularly difficult thing to do. Anyone with a website and a 100 dollar a month subscription to a SAAS platform that offers those sorts of analytics can gather digital footprints way more complicated than that. That having been said the empty stadium incidents you are referring to rarely occur because of isolated hecklers. Its usually larger scale coordinated behavior such that the investigation bit is merely a formality or due process on open and shut cases of fan misbehavior | ||

I am not sure why anyone thinks that way, I would mostly put it down to Mou being a terrible manager, but that triggers people. MLS is tailormade for Zlatan, hes spent his entire career (particularly in Italy and France) being "the man" having the team feed him as much as they could regardless of how and where and let him do his thing. Its a memed thing but the whole "welcome to Zlatan" think is entirely representative of what it means to have Zlatan in your team if its going to be successful. | ||
