TUKWILA — The Sounders’ front office gathered local media Friday to issue a public apology to its supporters groups and deliver a message: It’s still a soccer club that’s proud to hold a sign that reads “Anti-racist/Anti-fascist/Always Seattle.”
Doubt regarding the organization’s values began to rise during the team’s loss to rival Portland at CenturyLink Field on July 21. Approximately 45 minutes after supporters behind the stadium’s south goal unveiled their largest tifo (coordinated display of signage), it proudly waved an Iron Front flag in the Sounders’ green colors.
