In which we call out the D.C. United haters who should know better

I think it's time to dispense with some myths.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty tired of the "D.C. sucks" meme. If it's not Grant Wahl peddling the narrative, it's Alexi Lalas acting on Soccer Morning like D.C. United doesn't exist until the new stadium is built. If it's not a site literally calling United a red-headed step child, it's MLS Extra Time questioning whether Ben Olsen will actually play Luciano Acosta - apparently because Lucho is a technical player and therefore the kind of player that Ben Olsen inherently will not play - never mind that Acosta has appeared in 100% of the club's games so far this season.
