When the #SaveTheCrew movement began, it was a group of fans doing everything within their power to help keep the soccer team they support in the town they reside.
What this group didn’t have at the time was the help of powerful people with the ability to make something happen. That has changed.
Since Anthony Precourt announced the possible relocation of Columbus Crew SC to Austin, TX, the movement has grown. Not only has there been support from clubs across the country, even the globe, but Columbus mayor Andrew Ginther and President and CEO of the Columbus Partnership Alex Fischer have become major proponents of keeping Major League Soccer’s first club in Columbus.
