Toronto FC Announce New Pre-Game Tradition Of Burning Down White House

TORONTO - In response to the New England Revolution corporate tradition of throwing a cardboard box with a sticker of the opposing team on it over a railing to simulate the Boston Tea Party, Toronto FC announced a new pre-game tradition of burning down the White House to simulate the War Of 1812.

“We call this our 1812 overture,” stated TFC communication manager Steven “Generalisimo” Jackson. “In response to the unnecessary TFC Dump, we will march upon the White House and burn it to the ground like Robert Ross did in the past.”

History majors state that they are flummoxed by both displays as both of them are indicative of an American dispute with England rather than Canada. However, they did acknowledge the savage nature of replicating the White House fire of 1814 as they stated, “DAaaaaaaaaaaaamn.”

Sources say that the Revolution responded by recalling Brad Friedel and formulating a plan to winter over at Valley Forge and eat firecakes.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the Revolution announce another corporate tradition of appointing General Benedict Arnold as Secretary of Defense.
