Not Gudi ‘Nough / Ep 303 / Blue City Radio

Episode 303:

Seriously, what can you say about NYCFC in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Despite having a very good road record, the club’s road playoff woes continue to haunt them. This year not only did the team lose in dramatic fashion, but it also solidified a rivalry that the league had been forcing since both Orlando City and NYCFC joined the league.

But in true NYCFC form, the playoff loss is not the biggest story of the week. Pablo Maurer from the Athletic released an in depth article detailing the allegations from former intern, Skyler Badillo.

This week the guys address the article, the club’s response thus far and what steps need to take place. They also have the author of the article, Pablo Maurer (@MLSist) on the show to discuss how the piece came together.
