Vulgar Connotation of St. Louis Soccer Club's Unofficial Mascot is Purely Coincidental

• Rockman, you've got to be kidding, right? Watch videos? Most of us watch the real thing every week. And you do realize that our team is only Div II. Look up teams like Cheltenham or lower divisions if you want to make comparisons to Europe. Seattle or Toronto? Again, major money involved, major league soccer, Div 1. It's kind of hard to compare a Seattle game that seats 30,000+ people to St.Louis that seats 6,000.

• That video is weak, you guys need to watch some videos from Europe or Seattle or Toronto. Get the whole stadium rocking. Oh yeah and Chickenhead will be used by your rivals. Trust me. Best to ditch the term.

• here's a blog entry that's out there: http://acstlfanatic.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/talking-chicken-3/

• Oh, come on. . . EVERYTHING has a sexual connotation in the Urban Dictionary.

• A blog isnt a "story"

• Perhaps looking up the term soccer supporter. We are the most dedicated of all sports fans. We love our new team. To see one of the few things written about them to be the equivalent of "huh huh boobies" really isn't all that cool. Again, if Chad had wanted to do a story on the fans of AC St. Louis, perhaps things like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGcHWDUXSDs Just a thought though.

• Don�t worry Chad, I'm with you, you just keep doing what you are doing! For those that criticize the journalistic integrity of the RFT; this article is listed under the blog section. Do you know what a blog is? You dont? Well here ya go: From dictionary.com: Main Entry: blog Part of Speech: n Definition: an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log Example: Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.

• yeesh, you'd think this story was making fun of your retarded baby. lighten up boys. get girlfriends.

• Should have figured as much...the RFT going for the cheap heat. We have something going on that would be of interest and it gets buried. Too bad really...but I'm not suprised considering the source.

• I gotta agree with Nik...there's a lot more going on at the games than a dirty name. You might want to go to a game, report from there. And as RonBurgundy said (you stay classy), that's a pretty irrelevant term by now. About as current as saying "benzo's". Certainly doesn't warrant 4 of the 10 lines you wrote. I think it's great that you did an article on a supporter, but shock value of an old slang term shouldn't carry the article.

• are you kidding me with this subject line? weak effort here creating buzz. But I guess it worked! I read it... ACSTL games rock the house down with the supporters groups chanting the entire game. If you haven't been yet then you are missing it! See you all at the next game on May 22.

• I love the chickenhead almost as much as I love AC-St. Louis games. Lets not forget about the ladies (Athletica)They have a big game this sat.

• Thank you for responding, Chad. It's not about in depth, but there's so much more going on at the games and so much better info that could be disseminated than, oh, chickenhead's got a dirty name!

• The real Ron Burgundy would appreciate the vulgar connotation. As for my reporting (or lack there of), c'mon. It's a soccer fan story. How in-depth am I supposed to make it!?

• Nice to focus on the vulgar connotation. Pro soccer comes around for the first time in 30 years, but hey, let's focus on an eight year old ghetto term that no one uses anymore unless they break out their Three Six Mafia mixtapes. Seriously. 3/4 of the article on the term, and very little on the team? Pretty weak "reporting".

• Mr. Garrison, I'd like to personally object strongly to the angle which you took in this article. Vulgarity and sex acts have nothing to do with Mr. DeMunbrun wearing the mask and helping to create the atmosphere at the AC St. Louis matches. Horrid 'reporting.'
