S6E27: No One Good FC

Holding The High Line, a Colorado Rapids Podcast

Hello Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, Rapids Twitter has had itself a few days. Rabbi and Red spend as little time as possible discussing that loss to Toluca. We analyze the end of the transfer window with Rafael Navarro's late arrival, the departures of Bryan Acosta and Anthony Markanich, and probably Sidnei Tavares. The guys discuss what the rest of the season could look like now that the Pids are out of Leagues Cup. Our expectations are low. Then we discuss the state of media coverage of the Rapids as that seemed to be what the Rapids Community talked about this week. Are Matt and Mark members of No One Good FC?

Are we simps for the front office, too soft, or is sports journalism more nuanced than that? How does the citizen soccer journo balance on the pendulum between their audience and the people and team they cover? Can one be critical and empathetic at the same time? If we called for people to be fired, the team to be sold, and the stadium to be torn down, would anything change? Do fans owe us their money and gratitude with how toxic the the 2023 Colorado Rapids have become?

We discuss. Also, Red references this episode of HTHL if you want to refresh your memories on the incident with that Rapids 2 game.
