So according to my people, the 2,000 number Joy mentions is not correct. He got blasted online, and even “4 for 4” fans were jumping in to roast him. I saw John Kincade on there ripping the guy. Maybe that’s what it finally takes for people to care about soccer around here. Whiny New York fans are a uniting factor.
This is what I was able to gather. We report, you decide.
