A tad off topic but semi Devils related in how much I appreciate them even more right now.
I only support 2 club teams, the Devils and the Red Bulls, the Red Bulls have been the better of the two the past decade, 3 supporters shield wins(equivalent to the presidents trophy) made it to the US open cup final(similar to the fa cup in England or if it was nhl vs ahl vs echl vs other pro league teams in one big tournament)
They always bomb out in the playoffs and had several missed opportunities to win an MLS cup or Open Cup trophy.
We finally get our Devils back to some glory and my Red Bulls went and became a complete embarrassment last week with a racial slur that was said by our newest big name signing in his first actual start of the season. Then the coach doesn't even sub him off. The game was delayed 21 mins because of this.
Our fan base and now team has never been so low. Some fans think it's no big deal because we don't know exactly what was said or if something was lost in translation because the new guy Dante Vanzeir just came over from Belgium.
Personally I have zero tolerance for this stuff, I want Dante and the coach both gone. They embarrassed my team and they don't deserve to be here. The league promotes zero tolerance but gave Dante a 6 game suspension and the coach absolutely nothing.
I am very happy that our 3 supporters groups, I am part of 1, all voted on doing a walkout protest of tonight's game. It's something that has never happened during my time as a fan of this team and I've been a fan for a very long time.
Just a rant but wanted to yap about it. Very happy to have the Devils in the playoffs and even if they let us down vs the Rangers at least we can still be proud of our team and our guys.
Video of the incident and an article about the protest...
One of the three main supporters groups for the New York Red Bulls - Viking Army - says they will be walking out during this weekend's match against the Houston Dynamo.
