And now for something different … A Philadelphia Union ball kid shares what it was like to be a ball kid.
Fans’ View
Fans’ View: From the quiet couch to the soccer pub
There is a place where everybody knows the SOB name… and, amazingly, they still want to see us.
Fan’s View: It’s OK to step-over
Why is the step-over move so criticized by Philadelphia Union fans and observers? One fan poses the question and enters the creativity vs. efficiency debate.
Fans’ View: Expectations vs. reality
Ever see the movie 500 Days of Summer? Seth Finck has, and that whole perception vs. reality thing got him thinking about some of Union manager John Hackworth’s decisions (complete with Allen Iverson “Practice” rant references).
Fans’ View: Athletes can still make great role models
Sebastien Le Toux and Abby Wambach have been great role models for at least one young girl. (She apparently named her hermit crab Seba!)
Fans’ View: Life, the Unionverse and everything
One Philadelphia fan’s 2012 followed the Union down the tubes. But much like his team, his own prospects are looking up. It wasn’t the metaphor he expected out of life.
