As many of you know, earlier this season D.C. fans created a breathtaking display of support for their brave captain Ben Olsen. Dealing with career-threatening injuries and devastating agony, a deep pain, beyond the threshold of most mortal men, Ben Olsen took the field nonetheless. After all, it is his calling to play soccer for D.C. United, and he would not be stopped.

For this gutsy display of human perseverance, Ben Olsen was properly acknowledged for having "The Heart of a Lion."

Taking a quick look at the Eastern Conference standings, it becomes clear that Chicago has a distinct chance of playing D.C. United in the playoffs. Keeping this in mind, I believe it is important we start preparing our own giant display for Ben Olsen. After all, our passion for soccer is no less than that of D.C. We should not be outmatched by their passion, spirit or any display of theirs, especially if it relates to Ben Olsen.

Please see one proposition below. Ben and Tom should be setting up a paypal option on the S8 site for donations. This is going to take priority over Megabandera for the time being.

Editor's note: The lion's paws and "boner" signs in the crowd would be made of heavy-duty paper, mounted on a light plastic background to provide durability and also depth to this stunning display of emotion.

I interned in the FO for a little while and trust me they are so dumb had they payed off the refs they probably would have presented them one of those huge checks during halftime on the field.

I think the club should pay for this rather than for replacing the megabandera. I would also add, even we end up not playing them in the playoffs, we ought to have a S8OT to whereever they are playing just to display this.

"Dave Checketts and SCP Worldwide partners Dean Howes, Kenneth Munoz, Michael McCarthy and Chris Bevilacqua, chose Real Salt Lake for the team's name because they desired to associate the team with a successful soccer club, and "Fire" was already taken."
