When it comes to crowd behavior at Toyota Park, the Fire’s priorities are out of alignment

“The Chant” is a problem.

I can’t say it’s becoming a problem, because this has been a problem for several years at this point. Fans are yelling a homophobic slur on goalkicks, the supporter community and the club have been aware of this, and it’s still happening.

This is a discussion that needs to be had. I'll start. It's gross and needs to be stopped. The pregame announcement is not enough. https://t.co/dMjFWwtO5g

To their credit, more fans in and around Section 8 have been willing to confront those yelling the chant.
