TUKWILA, Wash. — It’s an exceptionally rare occurrence that a member of the Seattle Sounders non-technical staff will address the media. Over the last 10 years, at least, it’s maybe happened a few times.
Friday was one of those times. With majority owner Adrian Hanauer out of the country, Sounders VP of Business Operations Taylor Graham was left to apologize for some of the phrasing in the team’s letter to ECS that explained the decision to ban the Iron Front flag from the stadium.
“There was some language which put the Iron Front in the same sentence, the same breath, with a couple other organizations like Proud Boys,” said Graham, who serves as the Sounders supporter liaison.
