In a lost season, another in a decade where struggles outnumber successes, it’s easy to forget that this organization is special. There’s a humility that permeates from the EVPs through the players to the rank-and-file employees. They don’t have all the answers and they know it, but they’re working hard to figure it out. Fans have a right to be frustrated that the Rapids Way is still a series of U-turns, but scratch below the surface and you’ll find hard-working, kind people easy to root for.
Kortne Ford, in particular, feels like part of the family to most Colorado Rapids fans.
