I give up.
I concede to you Major League Soccer. Between being beaten down mentally by the pandemic and the fun I’ve had watching baseball since it’s been back, I am all in on the return of the regular season. I know that on some level, this makes me a weak person, but frankly I don’t care anymore. I need the Fire. I need a constant in my life again that isn’t discord calls with my friends and video games.
Writing about the Fire gives me a sense of purpose that I’ve taken for granted. These last few months without them (the two weeks of the tournament not withstanding) I’ve been lost without the weakly grind of podcast-preview-analysis.
