On Wednesday afternoon, Andrew Alesana, the president of the LA Galaxy supporters group, the LA Riot Squad, had an urgent message he wanted delivered to the team's GM, Will Kuntz. It was in the form of a meme he discovered on YouTube that featured the Kanye West lyric "He's done miracles on me" from his song "No Child Left Behind."

"Do me a favor and play this for [Kuntz]," texted Alesana. "And tell him thank you."

When it was shown to Kuntz later that afternoon, the Galaxy GM responded with a laugh, an acknowledgement of his current exalted status among the Galaxy faithful.
