There are times when I feel like an ignorant homer when it comes to my die-hard, if not borderline unhealthy fandom of New York City FC. Love isn’t only blind, it can make you blind sometimes.
When Ebenezer Ofori was sent off in the 73rd minute of NYCFC’s miraculous 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday, I immediately jumped from my chair and began yelling an assortment of obscenities louder than any other time in my life that I can recall. I was dumbfounded as to how referee Ted Unkel and VAR Mark Geiger wouldn’t see it the way I saw it.
