Welcome to The Spit-Take: an occasional column in which Once A Metro attempts a closer look at an event or events of concern to the New York Red Bulls. A column only partially summoned in to existence by the camera-work of Matthew Stith, who captured Dan Metzger at a perfect moment. In honor of the RBNY midfielder's ability to conjure art from a swig of water, the Spit-Take's primary unit of measurement or expression of the depth of the grievance under review will be the Metzger.
The Spit-Take starts with a look back at an incident during RBNY's game against Orlando City on April 9.
