I already coped with Boateng leaving last year when I thought he was gone during the offseason and then we resigned him. Boateng and DeJuan Jones were my favorite players on the team when I started following it, though, so it definitely makes me sad seeing him go.

The Right to Dream story and why it’s important to Boateng to make this move is the silver lining and I’m happy it feels like the club let him do what is important to him. I’ll miss him and I’m sure he will be a positive impact wherever he is!

This one hurts badly, but I’m excited for Ema. Debut seasons for expansion clubs always provide lots of opportunities for players, and I fully expect he’ll make the most of it. Best to Ema down the road, and he’ll forever be a Rev.

Agree. I'm happy for Ema. He probably has a better chance of winning the MLS Cup now than he did with the Revs!

I am 1) heartbroken, 2) angry, 3) disgusted, and 4) can't wait for the season to start so I can BOO every time Porter is introduced at a match. HOW, HOW do you expect to be better than last year if almost your entire team has NEVER PLAYED TOGETHER?

I agree. It's ridiculous how many players have been let go. It's basically like they are an expansion team now with completely new players who have never played together. Porter and Onalfo have huge egos to think they can bring in a team of unknowns and mold them to be successful.

Nice tribute. He was my favorite Revs player so I hate to see him go. Was looking forward to him sending crosses to Campagna. It's getting harder and harder to keep up my enthusiasm for this team.
