The Save The Crew was a movement started by fans of Columbus Crew SC following owner — sorry, investor/operator — Anthony Precourt announcing last fall that he was considering moving the Black & Gold to Austin, Texas. This all stemmed from Columbus’ “business metrics” allegedly not being good and an inability to fix that.
What started as a small movement has grown tremendously. Members of the Save The Crew movement have unearthed several falsities from Precourt and his right-hand man Dave Greeley, as well as making sure the voice of the movement didn’t quiet once Crew SC was eliminated from the MLS Cup playoffs in the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
