On Wednesday during halftime of ESPN’s broadcast of Portland and RSL, Taylor Twellman dropped a bombshell of a report on our heads, with two big pieces of information: One, the Chicago Fire had decided to tell several players, including a handful of regular starters, that they weren’t coming back next year, before the final game of the season was over.
Two, Twellman claimed that those players were involved in a “mutiny,” they weren’t training, and they’d be skipping the Crew game. That part of the story, as outlined by our story this week, appears to be false.
