Nope I'm talking about Cantonese, Flemmish or even Pig Latin. Guys although most people could (and have) forgiven a certain amount of particularly colorful language over the last couple games having played the red-shirted step children twice in a week, the F-bombs need to get reigned in. We're smarter than that - well most of are anyway - but is completely unacceptable to be cursing LA fans in neighboring sections simply because they don't support the team as vociferously as we do.

For Friday, I implore you to refrain from curse-laden songs, chants or diatribes. Let's focus more on supporting the team and encouraging our civilian neighbors that we're not simply a bunch of knuckle dragging, mono-syllabic grunting neanderthals.

Thanks in advance

But I have Tourette Syndrome. You're discriminating against me! Way to make me feel self-conscious.

Fuck, shit, ass! Galaxy!

I agree with this 100%.

But then I'm completely sober sitting behind a computer keyboard.

Will try to remember this when I'm at the game.

Also, the new people that are sitting with us in these playoffs might get turned off when they hear some of this stuff. And we can always use more fans who support the team with passion.

Personally, the first time stood with the RS (besides the Barbados friendly with Sams Army) was at the UCLA game last year. It was really awkward because the cursing and sexually charged language echoed around the HDC because there wasn't many people there. There were kids all around us and I'm not into exposing young kids to that kind of stuff. Needless to say I sat somewhere else after half time.

About halfway through this season I finally gave standing with the RS another shot. Definitely not as awkward with the stadium full, but still. Toning it down a bit would be nice.

I know, I'm a softie.
Let's go Lakers! Let's go Angels! Let's go Ducks! Let's go Galaxy! Let's go Sol!

does this include flipping off players and yelling obscenities at them? Or is this only yelling at the people around us?

Edit: Also I think the biggest offender doesn't read the boards

short answer, yes

Edit: Also I think the biggest offender doesn't read the boards

well since both of us probably know who you're talking about (137 first two rows?), i nominate you and me to speak directly to him. and encourage everybody else to help police ourselves as needed.

I am for curbing foul language (unless the opposing team is awarded a dodgy PK). We are more creative than that. However, I am totally against doing it for the mother fucking children.

I love how this is a genuine question in the context of an actual discussion.

Guys, LARS is the most creative group in MLS... we don't need to curse so much. We have been asked, nicely I might mention, to tone it down a bit.

The "Can you hear [blank] sing? I don't hear a fucking thing!" probably isn't a good idea. And people truly need to remember that the song "Guinness Boys" which "Riot Squad We Are here!" is taken from truly says LOVE YOUR WOMEN AND DRINK YOUR BEER.

As for a few high profile individuals, some gentle suggestions will be made. And yeah, flipping off EVERYTHING doesn't help much.

Lastly, we should NEVER call out a Galaxy fan. Whether in the stands or in the "Rich Field Seats", it's just inane and works against everything we are.

The FO has actually been pretty cool to us, but we have pushed the envelope a bit too much and in order to keep enjoying some of our gameday privileges, we gotta work with them.

So this Friday, let's show a marked difference. Nobody is TELLING you what to do. But please think of the Squad as a whole and make your own decision.

Next you'll be telling us not to yell "fag!*" at players.

I'm guessing that the FO is asking this, because they've heard f-bombs on ESPN, and ESPN (Disney-bastards) is wary of the FCC.

Censorship is wrong! Fight the power! (and other hippie sayings) ;)

Well, I guess it won't be as bad Seattle, where the ushers said they'd throw us out if we continued screaming obscenities.






*Fag meaning the Harley riding douche-bags as mentioned in South Park.
