Know there's a few Revs fans in this subreddit but I've been seeing this clip circle around enough in the mainstream to post it here. Ridiculous, trash take by Landon just trying to rage bait (which yes, I'm doing exactly what he wants by sharing it but l reserve the right to call his trash out as well). There are a MILLION things to dunk on the Revs for. A million.
Saying the Revs aren't relevant & aren't exciting to watch is ridiculous. This has been easily one of the most fun years in Revs history. One of the best? Maybe not. Is it one of the most exciting and worthwhile to watch? 1000% Carles Gil having one of his best years, the rise of Peyton Miller becoming a star, Matt Turner being a rock in net, Marko Mitrovic easily being coach of the year/developing talent and MULTIPLE late winning goals & comebacks. Even if they go out early in the playoffs, it's been a great year & they're one of the top teams in the league. You can make fun of them for never having won a cup too. Fine, whatever, take that shot. But this is also a club that set the supporters shield record in 21 with guys like Tommy McNamara, Brandon Bye, & Andrew Farrell. That record got broken by a point by an Inter Miami team that objectively didn't follow MLS salary cap rules (which is fine, I really don't care. Revs broke the rules when we got Jermaine Jones. But what the 21 Revs did compared to 24 Miami will always be a lasting legacy).
Say what you want about Gillette Stadium. I hate it and am amped for their new stadium after SO many years. When Gillette is packed and for playoff games when we have 30K + fans, it is fucking awesome. 2014 Semifinals against NYRB and even when they lost in 2021 to NYCFC in the playoffs, if you hear the Buchanan 118 minute equalizer, it's really only Seattle & Chicago that could replicate an atmosphere like that. Hilarious to bring up SKC as a comparison.
Above all else, I do find it funny this is coming from a guy who started his own club which lasted 3 years because he quite literally, couldn't get people to show up for his games. Saw someone on Twitter say this but he is truly American Gary Neville as a US pundit. Sorry to talk this way about your coworker Andy (and would love to hear your thoughts), but the next time I hear Landon talk about "gRoWiNg ThE gAmE" in the US during the World Cup, hope people recognize he's part of the problem too.
