THE STARTING 11: Unheralded Acts of TFC Hard Labour
Happy Labour Day comrades! It’s not just the day when parents drunkenly celebrate their children getting the eff back to school but also a day where we throw off the shackles of our American oppressors and stand up for our right to spell “labour” with the letter “u”! Wourkers of the Wourld Unite! Despite years of little production output, Toronto FC is a club where many acts of hard labour have been undertaken. Like a coalmine but with inukshuks. Sadly, some of these strenuous acts and those workers responsible have gone unheralded – until now!
