I'm not a big soccer fan, but I am a homer.This afternoon, the Columbus Crew beat the New York Red Bulls 3-1 to win the Major League Soccer Cup. It's the first MLS title in the Crew's 13-year history and the first pro-sports championship for the city in a decade -- by far the biggest ever.
So let's review: Yesterday the football Buckeyes beat arch-rival Michigan, and a day later the futbol Crew -- "America's Hardest-Working Team" -- won the Super Bowl of U.S. soccer. In this sports-crazed city, I won't be drawn into a debate about which matters more in the grand scheme of things.
All I know is that our team won again today, and that's enough to make this homer proud as hell.
