Whether or not the Seattle Sounders finish with the most regular-season points this year, they won’t technically win the Supporters’ Shield. The fan-run organization that awards the Shield announced on Saturday that it won’t be giving it out due to the “inability for supporters to be in attendance.”
With no supporters’ group to take charge of the Shield next year, the Supporters’ Shield Foundation said it hopes to take the trophy on tour to help educate fans about its history.
