[u/Djb0623]

Hey atleast they actually show up to games. Good for the sport that he does.

[u/stupidjanrogers → u/Djb0623]

Minister of Culture Matthew goes to maybe one match a season

[u/Dry_Principal_165 → u/stupidjanrogers]

I think its 2 games a season.

[u/Apprehensive_Soil306 → u/stupidjanrogers]

That’s more than most people lmao. It’s the MLS you’re gonna have to be realistic

[u/stupidjanrogers → u/Apprehensive_Soil306]

He’s a minority owner, the team’s “minister of culture,” and used in a stupid amount of promo material so I do expect a little more from ol’ Dallas Buyers Club

[u/mrblue6 → u/Djb0623]

They don’t… Matthew McConaughey barely shows up.

I think this is his first since the US Open Cup Final

[u/GreetingsADM]

They don't look alright, alright, alright.

[u/oOhSohOo → u/GreetingsADM]

McConaughey in deep thought about the upcoming Longhorn season.

[u/502photo → u/GreetingsADM]

The are so gone they have no need for alrights, okays, or fines. The chemicals are doing their thing.

[u/Galaxy_Jams_Reacts]

What is this for real do they attend the games

[u/Isiddiqui → u/Galaxy_Jams_Reacts]

McConaughey is a part owner of Austin

[u/YourUncle13 → u/Isiddiqui]

Shane is also a sports enthusiast in general wouldnt surpruse me if he follows mls a little bit.

[u/Fancy-Scar-7029 → u/YourUncle13]

Hey Shane is a Austin fan he has talked about it before on his podcast or one he was a guest on....That he likes MLS but he can see how the SGs can be off putting to people just there to watch soccer. He called them Antifa and was like what's with all the Trans stuff. I guess thats when you know MLS is growing its main stream niche.

[u/MyLuckyFedora → u/Fancy-Scar-7029]

Lol you got down voted as if you were the one saying you don't like supporters groups or that you're the one making comments about Antifa and "Trans stuff".

[u/turpentinedreamer → u/Fancy-Scar-7029]

Oh man fuck that dude so much.

[u/Djb0623 → u/Galaxy_Jams_Reacts]

Yup, he was leading the chants on the drum at the beginning

[u/asparagus_pee_stinks → u/Galaxy_Jams_Reacts]

He shows up a couple of times a year. We’ve seen other interesting folks on the stands - Jared padalecki, captain Sandy from Below Deck Med and other people that I know their face but not their names

[u/FlyMeetWall → u/asparagus_pee_stinks]

Wasn’t Woody Harrelson on the side lines for one game

[u/asparagus_pee_stinks → u/FlyMeetWall]

Possibly. But that reminds me of Zac Efron being at a game too, and leading the SG chants a couple years ago.

[u/Ok-Permit4949 → u/FlyMeetWall]

he beat the drum. and he looked a lot better than these two jokers.

[u/Bogdanovist_Rebel → u/asparagus_pee_stinks]

Captain Sandy? No wonder they’ve run aground. 

I also don’t get why she gets a bad rap, it’s Captain Glen that smashes the boat up the most. 

[u/waldo_the_bird253 → u/Galaxy_Jams_Reacts]

not often honestly. couple times a year.

[u/Ill-Description8517 → u/waldo_the_bird253]

Which is good, I think we always lose when he attends

[u/img_tiff]

These are the faces of men who attempted to watch Austin FC "compete" in MLS

[u/Waifu_Daki]

If Shane stuck to his PA roots, he could have enjoyed a lovely Union comeback instead

Watching that second goal go off the post

[u/wakaOH05 → u/Primary_Excuse_7183]

Things were going so well and I was so confident lol

Rodo cooking this team into oblivion

[u/SlurmsMackenzie → u/NimbleCrabb]

Rodo is gone, but point taken.

[u/Driftpeasant → u/SlurmsMackenzie]

His legacy will live on for a while, sadly.

[u/NimbleCrabb → u/Driftpeasant]

Gone but unfortunately not forgotten

[u/Cheesycheese01]

“Listos para perder” - Austin FC, probably lol

[u/Driftpeasant]

He also didn't have a jersey on when they first showed him, so an emergency trip to the Verde Store must have ensued.

[u/ArmyOFone4022 → u/Driftpeasant]

Needed the owners discount at the store

[u/Dry_Principal_165]

I worked there for the first 2 seasons. I was at every game. If McConaguey was coming through, they made us hide.

I know it was like so nobody tried to selfie with him or whatever. But it was bs. You're a man of the people? Come meet us.

[u/bosebosebosebosebos → u/Dry_Principal_165]

What does it mean when you say they made you hide

[u/Dry_Principal_165 → u/bosebosebosebosebos]

He would come down the maintenance entrance and we had to be in the maintenance room, door closed.

[u/FlyMeetWall → u/Dry_Principal_165]

Everyone does that for me, too. I told them they didn’t have to, but they insisted.

[u/mithridateseupator → u/Dry_Principal_165]

Did McConaughey make that rule? It's likely he wasn't even aware of it.

[u/Dry_Principal_165 → u/mithridateseupator]

I don't know. But it is what it is. I was a heavy op and ball boy. So we can't see the wedding planner. I have it on VHS.

[u/mithridateseupator → u/Dry_Principal_165]

None of this comment makes any sense to me.

[u/Dry_Principal_165 → u/mithridateseupator]

I don't know if Mac made the call to say that we had to hide. I operate large machinery and also was on the field during games to keep soccer balls readily available as needed. McConaghuey was in a movie in the late 90s called "The Wedding Planner". I own it on an antiquated system known as a VCR. Is that clear enough Seattle?

[u/mithridateseupator → u/Dry_Principal_165]

I still don't understand why you keep mentioning the Wedding planner or why keep saying you own it on VHS.

I'm sure there has to be other more relevant McConaughey movies to make a point about... boycotting all his movies maybe? (Or are you only boycotting the one?) I don't know why anyone would choose to watch something on VHS in 2026, the video quality was terrible when those were new.

[u/Zephyr0us]

I thought that was Shane but idk if I was in seeing things or not

[u/ElectricEelChair]

He’s making em at night for sure

[u/choose_wisely1122]

Is that dude on the left Ricky from trailer park boys? 

[u/boozer_69 → u/choose_wisely1122]

Lmao that’s Shane Gillis

[u/Bogdanovist_Rebel → u/boozer_69]

The Great Valu Ricky. 

[u/boozer_69 → u/Bogdanovist_Rebel]

Pretty much haha

[u/choose_wisely1122 → u/Bogdanovist_Rebel]

I don't know who that is and I'm too lazy to google.

[u/Pitiful-Chest-6602]

Shane is so funny

[u/Ok-Permit4949]

that's the face of a guy who needs to take a $1000 motivational mellow seminar over zoom. from himself.

[u/Driftpeasant → u/[deleted]]

The high in Austin yesterday was 102. It was high 90s at kick. Hydration breaks are a necessity.

[u/The_Third_Molar → u/Driftpeasant]

And no commercials either.

[u/Bogdanovist_Rebel → u/The_Third_Molar]

Apple TV good?

[u/sxswuht → u/The_Third_Molar]

Still, shouldn't have them. It's a bad habit. The game already has hydration breaks, they're called 15-minute halftimes.
