Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 19

Good Monday morning Caps fans. It is the first Monday in awhile where we can credibly claim a satisfying victory from the preceding weekend after the Caps shut down DC United (and Wayne Rooney) 1-0 on Saturday.

Less satisfying is another instance where a fan has been ejected from an MLS game for displaying signage expressing optimism to racism and fascism. The latest instance comes from Seattle, where several of the previous ejections also occurred, and is part of a recent trend which MLS has said such signage is overly political.

Tonight an @mls official told me that the "Anti-Fascist | Anti-Racist | Always Seattle" banner is not allowed per league policy because (AND I QUOTE) "we want both sides to be able to come and watch games without politics".
