TRUE BLUES: WE’RE HERE TO STAY!

All our eyes are on Atlanta today. Our members, traveling with the club and here, believe in our boys in blue. We want the cup. And we want to be as proud of our supporters groups as we are of our players.

We thank the club for banning far-right skinhead Irvin Antillon, and hope that ban is permanent. But he is still attending supporters events outside the stadium and is welcomed by supporters groups that receive special privileges from the club and MLS. His fellow hate group activists are still allowed in our stadium.

We want Nazis and documented members of hate groups out of our club.
We want the people who protected them and gave them a home to NEVER have the ability to do that again.

All NYCFC supporters and supporters of MLS clubs need to inform the club and league that this is unacceptable.

1) All documented 211 Crew Skinheads, Proud Boys and other documented hate group activists need to be banned from NYCFC. Now. Permanently.

2) NYCSC & Templados have proven they cannot police themselves, having welcomed, protected, and celebrated hate group activists for years now. If you’re a member of these groups, your leaders have let you, and all supporters, down. They need to do something substantial to prove they can in the future. Until they make amends, they cannot be allowed special privileges by the club and MLS, which other NYCFC supporters are not accorded.

3) NYCFC club operations has failed to inform themselves and when informed failed to take decisive action against hate groups in the stands. NYCFC needs to release a plan to prevent this ever happening again. The current standard of “everyone’s fine as long as they behave inside matches” is not sufficient and has allowed violent bigots in our matches.

Let’s fix this and get back to football!
