Yesterday our good friend Dan Dickinson told us about the at times embarrassing, insensitive response that a few particularly vocal D.C. United fans had to the league’s decision to swap United’s home playoff date with New York’s, effectively handing the home-field advantage that D.C. had earned in the regular season to the Red Bulls.

I can’t say I entirely disagree with Dan—I do think the league and both clubs made the right call here. There is a distinct advantage at playing the second leg of a home and away series back at RFK—that much can’t be denied—but at the end of the day, I’m happy to give that home field advantage away if it even remotely helps residents of the area around Red Bull Arena affected by the storm (though it seems they may have gotten power back today.)

I did want to point one thing out, though—don’t expect any better from fans of the Red Bulls. If we’re going to cherry pick comments, let’s take a look at these next couple of gems:

The “Chico” that this supporter refers to is Chico Solares, one of the founding members of La Barra Brava, who suffered a heart attack and passed away in April. For those of you who’ve never been to a United match, Barra Brava are among United’s supporters groups —the fans who’ve almost single-handedly become the face of the club with their chanting, jumping, and beer-tossing. But to United fans, Chico was more than just another supporter. “Chico meant a lot of things to a lot of people,” District Ultras member Nathaniel Tipton told me earlier today. “He worked hard to make sure cultural barriers were not an issue between supporters, and he was always one of the ties that bound all the [supporters] groups together.” Chico, in short, was the kind of guy who’d give you the shirt off his back.

It’s worth noting that when United faced the Red Bulls at RFK shortly after Chico’s passing, New York’s traveling supporters had a banner of their own in remembrance of him. It was a moving tribute by a far classier group of fans than what we’re seeing on the internet today.

Here’s another classic. I’ve heard some crass D.C. Sniper jokes, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard a chant. Maybe you guys can work a Pentagon joke in there too, eh? Keep it classy, New York:
