VIDEO: Blanco Loco Video Back, MLS Claims "Mistake by employee"
Major League Soccer (MLS) Rumors - For the time between the games —
According to Soccer By Ives: And those of you who were up in arms about MLS yanking the video of Blanco's punch thrown at Clyde Simms had a gripe. According to an MLS source, a league employee mistakenly requested that the videos be taken down from YouTube. Apparently the mix-up occurred because someone thought it was an MLS match, when it wasn't. I've been told that the video was to be put back up, though I wasn't able to find it. Well Ives, we found it and have it right here.
The Blanco Video: When the Censorship Becomes the Story
The Offside —
The Blanco Video: When the Censorship Becomes the Story By: Laurie | July 11th, 2008 A couple of days ago I posted this video that shows Chicago Fire Designated Player Cuauhtemoc Blanco punching DC United player Clyde Simms in the gut in a US Open Cup game. Blanco received a red card for the incident, then allegedly headbutted a DC United employee who was trying to get him to leave the sidelines. And according to rumors and BigSoccer “I was there” posts, there may or may not have been more incidents on the way to or in the locker room. For us at The Offside, it was no big deal. Just one more incident of a player losing it. We even have a tag for events ...
The Open Cup Punch

While the video doesn’t show all of the alleged actions of Cuauhtemoc Blanco or what was happening off camera before the punch, the video speaks for itself.
Wonder if we’ll get to see the full video of the confrontation.
I think Clyde Simms handled that remarkably well.
An Update: Cuauhtemoc Blanco
Unprofessional Foul —
Remember last week when we pleaded for our readers to find the video of the Cuauhtemoc Blanco incident in the US Open Cup against D.C. United? No. I didn't think so, because none of you wankers sent us anything. Anyway, after MLS improperly made a copyright claim on a Youtube video of the incident, the league has relented and allowed the video back up. This despite my conversation with a PR hack said that there were no plans to release it and that MLS owned the rights to all of its teams and images thereof and then told me to ask US Soccer whether they were going to release the video. Huh? That's what I said. Here's the video with Blanco in all his ...
