  • Sober Second Thoughts: Hello, apathy


    Guest

    No one booed at the end.

    As the final whistle blew, the crowd at BMO Field simply turned and walked away.

    Ho-hum, another loss. Did you want to grab a beer and watch the Jays game?

    Apathy has fully hit. When you go 347 days without winning a league game at home that will happen. TFC has become the world's biggest buzzkill. Going to games is a bit like being an agnostic in church: you don't fully believe and don't really want to be there, but you keep going back because you've been told there might be a payoff at the end and you don't want to risk missing out.

    So here we are. Going through the motions of yet another lost season. The club talks about improvement from last year with limited evidence there has been any (TFC is now on pace for 25 points. They had 23 last year. It's about time people started to call Ryan Nelsen out when he talks about the great strides the club is making).

    This is historic stuff. MLS is a league designed for teams to turn things around quickly. Look at Portland this year. They are in the conversation for the Supporters' Shield. As is Wednesday's opponent, the Montreal Impact. Combined those two clubs have played two fewer seasons than TFC.

    The Reds defy logic. It's impossible to be this bad for this long in MLS.

    Some will want to point to positives in the game. Sure, TFC played alright at times. The stats were pretty much even and with a little luck at the end the Reds could have pulled a draw out.

    But, they didn't.

    Again.

    In the end, that's all that really matters.
