Meet Tim.
Tim doesn’t want his last name revealed because he fears potential backlash. He has seen what can happen to critics of self-described anti-fascists, and he’d rather not take the risk.
But Tim wants it known that he has no plans to renew his membership with the raucous Sounders fan club known as the Emerald City Supporters. In their quest to be as inclusive as possible, he feels they’ve excluded him.
For much of this season, the ECS fought Major League Soccer over the right to display the Iron Front symbol, which is three arrows pointing southwest inside a circle.
