For better or worse, El Trafico is very real

A few weeks ago during LAFC’s resounding victory over the Portland Timbers, the supporters union known as the 3252 erupted in a spirited version of “Jump for LA Football Club”.

Pundits and a number of LA based personalities marveled at the display. Galaxy fans were decidedly less impressed. Outside Banc of California Stadium a different kind of fight was taking place.

This is the never-ending, all-consuming and always petty world of El Trafico, the rivalry on and off the field between two clubs fighting for superiority of a vast region while struggling to address the skeletons in their own closets.
