MLS Schedule Is Late Because...

Domestic violence isn't funny but the
#MLSScheduleIsLateBecause hash tag is

Soccer by Ives tweeted a funny challenge today on Twitter around the late relase of the MLS schedule today.  It was simple complete this hash tag #MLSScheduleIsLateBecause. It ended up trending at least at number 3 worldwide... impressive stuff. We recap our favorites here... oh ya and the Revolution schedule is down there somewhere too.

#MLSScheduleIsLateBecause...
1. ...Seattle fans haven't invented it yet
2. … It was in the same folder as "New Stadiums for New England and DC United"
3. ...the Krafts needed to sign it for approval & they needed someone to look into what the "New England Revolution" was
4. ...they put the #Revs front office in charge of it and they do not do anything in the offseason.
5. ...they were reading the revs bigsoccer forum and got depressed.
6. ...they're backloading the #revs schedule to allow for the big summer dp signing... of khano smith.
 7. ...Pres Mubarak of Egypt only agreed to step down if he could get tix to Opening Day. Announcement soon
8. ... someone put it with Clint Dempsey's allocation money.

9. ...someone put it with the New England Revolution's Designated Player slots and nobody can remember where those are
10. ...@TaylorTwellman just joined the party and is repeating everyone's ideas


Only one July home game is ridiculous, but at least Red Bull away is on a Saturday again this year... finally... more on away games as we get closer to the season. Without further ado... (like you haven't seen it already)
