Agitators showed up to March of the Match, Sounders fans remain calm

SEATTLE — Ahead of the Seattle Sounders match against the Sporting KC, a group of right-wing agitators showed up with an intent to cause a ruckus and Sounders fans mostly ignored them. At least two of the agitators were openly carrying firearms.

About two hours before the match kicked off, a group of a dozen or so right wing activists showed up to one of ECS’s prematch pubs, Fuel, to try to infiltrate the bar and cause a scene. Thankfully the bouncers did not allow them in.

Sounders minority owner Drew Carey then showed up to the bar to order every Sounders fan in the bar a round in hopes of calming everyone down.
