say his Name! You cover a f’ing soccer game but you can’t make this news? Sorry POS news outlet.

AND They were 'BOO' by their fans!!!😞

Nuts

Can't fix stupid

This is a lie. People have been attending nascar for months. Their viewership is much larger than US soccer.

CannonHinnant

Stupid............

Be I denial until there’s an outbreak from the event. Just like schools opening up. Not worth the risk right now. If people wanted sports so bad, they should of taken steps months ago.. now they are gambling with people’s health.

this is reckless.

U must be crazy risking ur life for FC Dallas 🤣🤣

You spelled scamdemic wrong

TX u r special. Not in a good way.

Of course they will

It’s about time.

YIKES mls FCDallas

Texas seems to have an awful lot of stypid people.

Should of none done that and saved your fan some $$$

Pro soccer Organized crime.

Honestly how freaking stupid is the states? No really? Your education system has failed you

Here you go Texans..

Great look mls 👶🧠

Keep this up Texas and you'll run out of medical workers, eventually. Smdh.

Its like we want to show the world that we love the corona virus and don't want to get rid of it

Thanks

The boom will be 2-3 weeks later 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Everything is big in Texas as they saying goes, are they looking to surpass California for the most case?

Good luck Kameltoe Harris..

CannonHinnant

Stupid!

Good luck have fun

Well I am sure the team exercised only the best decision making and behavior, during the initial MLS tournament in Orlando...

Umm why. Aren’t they in the bubble?

Really bad decision. The only fans who show up will be crazy.

Well what goes on in their shitty state can keep it in their shitty state.

Check your facts

How ridiculous and irresponsible.

Even countries that dominate football (England, Spain, Italy, Germany) are playing with zero attendance.

Money Public health

Unreal, profit over lives

DTID Lessgo!!! 💪🏻

Dumb!

Well that is Texas!

It's not like Hispanics have already been shown to be more susceptible of anything................

Welcome to Texas!

You can’t fix stupid!

MLS leading the way again !👏 ⚽️ TaylorTwellman AlexiLalas El_gringoFutbol InterMiamiCF

Stoopid

😂😂😂

Are they nuts?

So what do you want CNN ?😂 you dont want fans okey just tell us maybe we can help

I live in the area and F all that!! No way I'd be out there. Fools really want some money that bad they'd risk extending the quarantine and possibly killing people.

I hope they are spread out! And no concession.

As opposed to the full stadiums soccer draws in the US. 👍

FeedingCoronavirus Dallas are irresponsible and arrogant.

Why is a hot spot state having fans in stadiums for sport while their hospitals are in the verge of overloading or still being overloaded?

Someone with some guts. Cases are irrelevant. There can be 100 million and wouldn't mean a thing.

imagine being such a terrible decision maker that you caught the Rona at an *MLS* match lol. that’s a straight red fam

Good

Bring Jerry Jones, the soccer coaches and GM and MLS officials to trial Nuremberg style asap. This is about corporate $$$ greed. Nothing to do with sports.

ЛукашенкоУбийца

This is doable!! Only allowing 5K fans? High school graduations were held there with about 2-3k people. Very spread out, outdoors and many entrances/exits for distancing. This is what it looked like at graduation. I’m all about safety and 😷 but I’m ok with this.

So dumb. MLS how can you let this happen?

Jerry Jones sez he wants the Cowboys to play in a full stadium 🏟 A great situation in Texas...disregard science...increase health risks...all for $$$s under the guise of people 'need' in-person sports entertainment

Wtf..... This shouldnt happen

Brilliant! Texas's determination to expose its citizens to this deadly virus is impressive.

Texas, Big Trucks, Big Steak, and little common sense.

Some people have to learn the hard way I guess.

Lmfao . This is gonna be great 👍. Let’s see how many get the virus and don’t make it.

What a swell idea

The stands will be packed just like all of John Lewis’ funerals...

Everything’s dumber in Texas 🤬

And later someone being interviewed will say they never could’ve imagine how quickly this can spread. It’s like watching the same story, different setting, different people. So disheartening.

I guess Texas really is just plain stupid.

Are you kidding!? They withdrew from the tournament because a bunch of them got infected!!!

If they want to die let it do it.
