Fire Issue One-Game Suspension To Section 8 In Response To #Free101 Protests

On the heels of the toughest loss of the season, the Chicago Fire responded to their continuing difficulties on the pitch by exacerbating one of their ongoing problems off of it.

The club issued a notice to Section 8 Chicago today informing them their supporters privileges would be suspended for Saturday’s home match against the New York Red Bulls. The club said the sanction was in response to individuals affiliated with Section 8 participating in a recent in-stadium protest supporting Sector Latino.

Section 8 held their monthly board meeting on Tuesday evening.
