Love the scarf @AleMorenoESPN, and thanks for your comments at halftime to #SaveTheCrew! It means so much hearing people in your position not afraid to speak out against what @MLS is trying to do. Respect your roots @APrecourt and do the right thing. #MLSCup #STCsweepstakes

Thank you Ale! Glad to see those in a position to reiterate that there are two sides to the story, and that the company line is a blatantly false narrative. This was powerful in view of the timing (following the false tale told by DG).
