“There are three supporters clubs in the South Ward mind you with differing opinions, and getting hundreds of people to bring a unified and loud voice for the players on the field is harder than you...

Frankly I think this is much ado about nothing. I mean really, in the grand scheme of things YSA really isn’t all that bad. In fact, I can’t think of a sport where worse things AREN’T said. In...

You wrote ‘small repertoire’ of the songs we do. You don’t like how repetitive we are and the drums (why the hate on drums? LOL), then perhaps you can help us with a new good chant that the South Ward...

YSA is an example of the issues facing the league between the SGs and the other fans. That seemed like the point of the article… What exactly has been the end result of the actions Kraft took, aside...

Yes it is, and most of what you’ve written has been critiquing the type of support done and opinions of the South Ward (repetitive chants and drums are annoying, Henry is trash, etc), and not...

One of the reasons that Livestrong Sporting Park has a more family-friendly atmosphere is that team and park management got together before the first game and decided together that anyone who knowingly...

The problem is inertia. Garber can cry foul all he wants but he needs to realize that the natural reaction for many is to start up the YSA chant even when the capos are trying to start something...

The thing to remember folks is the opposing goalkeeper does indeed suck and he most certainly is an a;;:))le!

How many people were at the game on Saturday? 19k or so? How many were in the southward? A few hundred? Do you see that the logic of your statement fails?

MLS wants more of the high school/college football game feel with the SGs representing student sections. They are passionate while also being fairly clean given the situation. I for one do not believe...

I agree. I just think people are being a–holes for the hell of it. It’s a reasonable request to stop, and it shouldn’t take an incentive to do so.

Personally, it seems that most MLS chanting is pretty weak. Between YSA and the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” baseline, that’s about all you ever hear in a typical MLS broadcast. They’re’ not...

Oh, so THAT’S why they do that chant. Because the opposing goalkeeper does suck.

Great comment. You are absolutely right “…You suck … is not doing much to help the league” And for whatever reason the SG’s can’t take a step back and say ‘this behaviour is just dumb, it is reducing...

I’ve been to plenty yet still haven’t seen an organized group hurling obscenities at a particular point in time (like say a kick-off after a touchdown). There’s a difference between yelling BS at a ref...

Send the offended Commissioner to an Oakland Raiders game if he wants to see real fan misbehavior. The MLS YSA is lie a nurser rhyme. Cut the beer sales out and the conduct will improve.

YSA is stupid. If you yell it out you’re stupid. You’re THAT guy or girl. Portland at least has original and unique and oh god no, don’t say it, yes, creative chants. YSA is what a neanderthal grunts...

Whatever, SD1. Haven’t you noticed the plague of goalies tripping over themselves when they hear those awful words? Wait a sec. Not one goalie has ever even noticed the chant? Man, I hate that chant....

I find it astonishing that everyone talks about YSA, while not mentioning the NY Supporters always singing, very clearly for all to hear, that opposing teams “take it up the A**.” YSA is nothing...

During one of the games, I believe last season, against the Union the entire Supporters section walked out. The supporters did not buy anything while at the stadium. Now while the tickets were...

I find THAT astonishing! YSA isn’t even close, except the sexual semi-homophobic parts.

Fair. I was @ the Crew game vs Stoke City last night and, sure enough, there was the YSA chant. I’m glad I got tix for us (my GF and her 6 yr old daughter included) on the FAR side of the stadium. They...

Some crowds shout, "you suck, a**hole", hence the ellipses in the headline. I don't know what Garber is complaining about, every league has heckling, from the Premier League to Major League Baseball. I...
