Union doing more to separate from the supporters.

While maybe not noteworthy to most, the Union have placed privacy curtains around the players lot. The current head of security is very anti player fan interaction and did this to ensure it would stop. I think this is really sad on multiple fronts. The players enjoy the interactions and support from the fans. I have watched many kids and families interact with players as well, and it always appeared positive and to only build a stronger bond between players and supporters. The fact that there was already a fence and a considerable walk that most players would have to make to reach the waiting fans, it was very easy for players to just wave or keep about their business if they did not feel like interacting. Almost every player would chose to interact on most nights if asked. Players should be entitled to their space, but they had that already. This step taken by the Union is a clear reflection in my opinion of how little they value the fans and their experience.

For reference, there are several other clubs that have similar set ups to the Union, but openly invite player fan interactions that I have personally witnessed at locations like DC, Orlando, and Portland.
