The Salt is a recurring column focused on opinion and analysis on the latest Real Salt Lake news from RSL Soapbox managing editor Matt Montgomery.
When tonight’s match started, I was planning on writing my usual Winners & Losers column, which I’ve really enjoyed writing week-in, week-out.
But when snow started dumping on the match, I realized I just wouldn’t have much to say. See, players can do good things in the snow, and they can do bad things in the snow, but in the end, it’s a very weird match all around. So it is that I wound up here, writing the latest edition of The Salt, because I do think the match is worth talking about, but I think talking about it in the broader context of 2020 bears some exploration.
