ECS walks out at halftime, protesting Iron Front flag removal

SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders’ largest supporters group, ECS, walked out of Sunday’s match at halftime shortly after capo was removed from waving the Iron Front flag.

They just kicked out the head of gameday ops, made @WeAreECS take down the iron front symbols which are up to support inclusion for our players from all over the world. This is a sad moment. #SoundersMatchday#AUnitedFront pic.twitter.com/7Ljomh2vzB

The two main sections in which ECS sits were almost completely empty with only a scattering of fans in the third section.
