#RCTID

Thank you to the Portland Timbers for beating the Columbus Crew and winning the MLS Cup. It's the best Christmas present I have received so far this year.

As a person who grew up in Michigan this is fantastic. Not because I care about Major League Soccer, obviously, but because I grew up in Michigan and hating Ohio (and vice versa) is what we do. It's our number one export. Ask anyone from Michigan or Ohio (note the order) and they will tell you the same.

Any defeat of Ohio is a victory for Michigan.

So thank you again #RCTID! I can now hate on Ohio for a whole year. Which is pretty sweet.

Now you may be thinking, Matthew? ?. WTF, that guy loves everybody! This is about hate, not love my dears.

But it's soo negative you say, not to mention disrespectful. Nope, not if they're from Ohio it's not.

Now I do understand that if you aren't from Michigan or Ohio (again note the order) this is difficult to process. Think about it this way: perhaps you have a brother or sister, or some other close family member that you love, but really gets on your nerves and gives you pause when you send out those holiday invitations. That pretty much sums it up.

So to all of my brothers and sisters from Ohio, you suck at soccer and you're the worst.

Peace.
