I want to start this collum with a little self-reflection, something everyone should do from time to time, before we dive into reflecting on the Columbus Crew’s 2-1 U.S. Open Cup loss to Detroit City FC on Tuesday night. If you were a Crew fan on Twitter during the match, you probably saw my tweet about angry Crew fans that caused quite a stir and I want to clarify and apologize for that. If you don’t care about any of the Twitter drama, feel free to skip the next few paragraphs.
First, as I later explained but things had already gone off the rails, my intent with the tweet wasn’t to target all Crew fans who were angry.
