The Stanford Atmosphere

No tifo. No flags. No smoke. Not even streamers. Dull, colorless, boring atmosphere. Definitely not our idea for such a big game as the Cali Clasico. Everything is a safety hazard, every single move is micromanaged. Every “violation” brings lengthy bans. Passion, honesty, sacrifice, and loyalty are seen as negative traits in the increasingly corporate world of soccer franchises. After so many years of non-stop, fanatical support through mostly horrible seasons, we deserved to be left alone and enjoy this superb team. Matias and the boys deserve the support we’ve proved for so many years that we are capable of providing but that sadly has been criminalized.
