For the last six months, I’ve felt a burden on my shoulders. The burden to be a voice where none other exists. There has always been a self-imposed burden, of course, of being a stats and tactics-oriented writer on the Colorado Rapids, for the simple reason that nobody else would do it if I didn’t.
And then, between March and May of this year, two important local soccer outlets stopped. Current of Colorado, Patrick Shea’s longtime website covering all things Colorado, mostly died. I say mostly, because the site is still up, and is occasionally updated with an eclectic mish-mosh of soccer projects around the US that interest Patrick.
