¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get that his exit was messy and didn't feel too great for most fans.

That said, I genuinely don't think the Fire as an organization would be where they are today without his contributions over the past two years. And I think we can all agree that we probably don't return to the playoffs after eight years without him.

I would love to see the fans come together and do something to show our appreciation for his time and contributions to the club.

Folks talk a lot about wanting the club to foster a stronger relationship with the community and fan base, but it's certainly a lot easier to do that when the relationship is reciprocal.

Showing appreciation for a former player we loved, regardless of any animosity around his departure, is something I think Cuypers would appreciate. More importantly, it shows the guys currently on the team that we care about and appreciate the people who contribute to our love of this club.

Personally, I'd love to see a standing ovation for the entirety of the 9th minute, but I'm sure smarter folks have better ideas. I'd love to hear them.
