That's what you get for taking down Etcheverry in 1996

Poor
Rob Johnson. Original Metro, the
first and best purveyor of the flip throw-in in MLS (hey, anyone could pull that off on the wide sidelines of Giants Stadium or Foxboro, but in Spartan Stadium??) but forever to be remembered Metro fans as
the guy who took down Marco Etcheverry for a penalty in the dying minutes of the 1996 Metro-DC playoffs. If only we could go back in time, back to that fall evening at RFK, and remind him not to go flying recklessly in...so much might be different for us today.
(the very epitome of "scything the attacker down")
Now an assistant coach at Temple University, he's
one of many Robert Johnsons on the government no-fly list, according to a story on 60 Minutes last night.
DC scum: Still fucking with Rob Johnson, and all of us, ten years later.
