It’s not very often that I get to be “just a fan.” I don’t say that to complain, I choose to be in the press box for the vast majority of games and I accept there’s a responsibility that comes with the territory. I’ve made my bed, and if that means I don’t get to scream and cheer after a big win, so be it.
Sometimes, though, I choose to make an exception. Tuesday’s MLS Cup march and rally was one such occasion.
Admittedly, it was a somewhat pragmatic decision. There probably wasn’t going to be much “news” to come out of the Seattle Sounders’ celebratory march through downtown.
