If it's Thursday, it must be Columbus

Yep. From Mark McCullers:

Nordecke Supporters:

I have received several emails regarding the increased security presence in the Nordecke for the Saprissa match. We have respectfully requested that the chants including profanity, most importantly GTFO, cease. Unfortunately that chant has continued, specifically during the Cruz Azul match and then several times during the LA match. During our highest attended game of the year, with the opportunity to impress people that might attend more Crew games at Crew stadium, we instead left a negative impression with unnecessary chanting of unacceptable profanity.We have received numerous complaints from fans, and now have indications from sponsors that they are reconsidering their financial support because they cannot be associated with an environment that includes this behavior. My pride in the Nordecke and what it brings to the club is deep and well documented. But this behavior, again, compromises our repuation and cannot be tolerated. We must identify and deal with those who insist on perpetuating this behavior, which explains the increased security measures.

Seriously, did anything change while I was gone? Nothing? Really?

How will increased security prevent supporters from singing swear words?

Presumably by throwing people out for cursing.

One problem is that the people that are reading this dispatch arent really the ones yelling GTFO.
