Galaxy disciplines fans for rule violations while protesting team response to ICE raids
The Galaxy have banned a fan from the Angel City Brigade support group following the July 4 match at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. The team has also restricted access for other fans accused of harassing the MLS team's management. Bruce Martin, a 12-year Angel City Brigade member, was banned indefinitely for using a press credential to bring a banner into the stadium not authorized by the team, according to a letter sent to Martin informing him that he cannot attend any Galaxy games in Carson or any other events at Dignity Health Sports Park. Fans from the same group have been suspended indefinitely for harassing members of Galaxy management, according to a person with knowledge of the decision not authorized to discuss it publicly. During the home game against Vancouver, fans of the Angel City Brigade, founded in 2007, walked in with several banners protesting immigration raids in Southern California since June 6. Some of the protest banners blamed AEG, the owner of the Galaxy, for remaining quiet while fans were harmed by raids. Angel City Brigade fans, traditionally located in Sections 121 and 122 of Galaxy's stadium, left the game at the 12-minute mark in protest. Other groups, such as Galaxians, LA Riot Squad and Galaxy Outlawz, joined them by keeping quiet during the match. 'We have not issued a statement. We recognize the impact that recent events and actions have had on our community,' Galaxy spokesperson Jamie Álvarez said. 'For decades, we have honored the rich backgrounds, cultures, and experiences of our fans and staff. Our purpose as a professional sports organization is to unite and support our community around a shared love of this sport. We are focusing on prioritizing the safety, well-being, and sense of belonging for our staff and for our fans.' The Dodgers, another team with a large Latino fan base, were also criticized for not saying anything at the beginning of the raids and ultimately pledged to make a $1 million donation to families affected by the raids. Martin, who last season released a book titled 'This is Where My Heart Lies: Through the Eyes of a Supporter,' chronicling his passion as a Galaxy fan, revealed the letter on social media in which he is vetoed. Martin said he was heartbroken by the decision, but fans have supported him and his cause. 'A large percentage of the [Angel City Brigade] has canceled their season tickets,' Martin said. 'There are a lot of fans around MLS who have reached out to me. It's one of my favorite things about the soccer community — how close we are.' The support from Angel City Brigade, Galaxians, LA Riot Squad, Galaxy Outlawz and other fan groups play a major role in making the Galaxy's home field at Dignity Health Sports Park a fortress, a stadium where the team did not lose all of last regular season and where it won its sixth MLS title. On July 12, fans also stopped chanting in protest of 'the silence of the L.A. Galaxy' in the face of immigration raids 'We recognize that the volume in the stadium is different,' Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said following the team's game against D.C. United. 'As I've said before, the fans have a right to take whatever stances they want and our job is to go out and try to win games. We want the fans to come, we want them to feel safe, we want them to feel like this is their club and the place they want to be, and we try to do our job on the field to help make that happen.' The Galaxy approved the giant tifo used on July 4, which featured three Hispanic figures and a message that read, 'Fight Ignorance, Not Immigrants.' According to the team spokesperson, the club has had multiple discussions — before and after the July 4 game — in individual and small group meetings with leaders of Galaxy supporter groups to try to resolve the issue. The Galaxy works with community groups such as CARECEN [Central American Resource Center,] Heart of Los Angeles and All Peoples Community Center, among others.

Galaxy fans protest team's silence in response to ICE raids
Gloria Jiménez and Bruce Martin, leaders of a Galaxy supporter group called the Angel City Brigade, are certain this is no time to be quiet. Since its founding in 2007, the Angel City Brigade, one of the Galaxy's largest fan groups, has made its voice heard in sections 121 and 122 of Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. On Friday, during the typically festive Fourth of July fireworks game, Galaxy supporter groups decided to express their frustration and anger over seeing Southern California's Latino community targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in recent weeks. The fans say they are upset by the Galaxy management's silence amid ICE's presence in the Latino community. The majority of Galaxy fans are Latino, but the team has not issued any statements in support of fans, remaining as quiet as the Dodgers until the MLB team felt pressure and made a $1 million donation to benefit families impacted by the raids. The Galaxy and representatives of the teams' supporter groups have held closed-door talks, but it didn't lead to a public statements by the club. Before the match against the Whitecaps on Thursday outside Dignity Health Sports Park, Angel City Brigade displayed signs that read 'Stop the Raids,' 'Free Soil' and 'No One is Illegal. At the end of the national anthem, 'Victoria Block,' the section where most of the Galaxy's fan groups stand, unfurled a tifo with three images: a farm worker; Roy Benavidez, a U.S. Army Medal of Honor recipient; and Elena Rios, president of the National Hispanic Health Foundation. At the bottom, the banner read: 'Fight Ignorance, Not Immigrants.' During the 12th minute of the match, the Angel City Brigade left the stands in protest. Supporter groups the Galaxians and Galaxy Outlawz protested silently, carrying no drums or trumpets. They also did not sing or chant during the game. 'What's going on in Los Angeles has nothing to do with the players. They know that. What's going on in Los Angeles we don't like,' Manuel Martínez, leader of the Galaxy Outlawz, said before the match. 'I belong to a family of immigrants who became citizens. So we know the struggle that people go through. We know that there are hard working, innocent workers out there.' The Riot Squad, on the other side of the stadium, also remained silent during and displayed a message that read: 'We like our Whiskey Neat, and our Land and People Free.' This is not the first time Galaxy fan groups have taken action when they were unhappy team management. Angel City Brigade, along with other groups such as LA Riot Squad, Galaxy Outlawz and the Galaxians, led boycott while demanding the removal of then-team president Chris Klein following mismanagement and decisions they felt didn't make the team competitive enough to win. Their effort paid off: Klein stepped down and new management eventually led the club to its sixth MLS championship secured at the end of last season. On Friday, in addition to issuing a statement reaffirming their 'non-discriminatory principles, which oppose exclusion and prejudice based on race, origin, gender identity, sexuality or gender expression,' the fans decided to organize a fundraiser to support pro-immigrant organizations affected by the Trump administration's budget cuts: Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), Border Kindness and Immigrant Defenders Law Center. To raise funds, they sold T-shirts with an image of a protester in Chinatown confronting an ICE agent. 'This is our way of showing that we want to help, and to fight what's going on,' said Martin, a Los Angeles native. The T-shirt sales raised $4,000 for the three organizations. Previously, Angel City Brigade, like other Galaxy supporter groups, decided not to travel to the June 28 road match against the Earthquakes in San José as a precaution against the raids. About 600 Galaxy fans typically attend the road match. 'We have members who have not been able to work. We have members who have not been able to, go out to games or attend events. San José would have been one of them,' Jiménez said. 'We decided that as a group, we couldn't travel without leaving our brothers and sisters here. So in solidarity with the people who can't attend because of fear of what's going on, we decided to cancel the event.' While the other two professional soccer teams in Los Angeles — LAFC and Angel City FC — have issued public statements in support of the Latino immigrant community, the Galaxy's ownership has not addressed the issue. Angel City took its support further, wearing 'Immigrant City Football Club' warm-up shirts, giving some shirts away to fans and selling more on its website as a fundraiser to support an organization that provides legal support for immigrants. So far, the only member of the Galaxy who has addressed the issue publicly is head coach Greg Vanney. 'I think we all know someone who is probably affected by what's going on, so it's hard from a human standpoint not to have compassion for the families and those who are affected by what's going on,' Vanney said prior to a game against St. Louis City SC in June. 'We have to really help each other, versus expecting others to do it,' Jiménez said. 'That the support didn't come from our team, as we expected, broke our hearts into a thousand pieces.' In the past, the Galaxy and supporter groups have collaborated while celebrating various Latin American countries, incorporating their cultural symbols into team merchandise. But amid the Galaxy's silence, fans are starting to doubt the sincerity of the cultural celebrations. 'It's sad and disappointing to me. This team that has been in Los Angeles since the mid-1990s, and they've leveraged the culture for publicity. When they signed [Mexican soccer star] Chicharito for example, they were strong on Mexican culture and things like that. So when this all started, you would think that they would be for their culture, that they would be there for the fans,' Jiménez said. 'And by not saying anything, it doesn't say that they really care about it. Families are being torn apart and they just stay silent.' Jiménez said there isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't cry or feel anger about the ICE raids. 'We already know what we are to them, we are not friends or family,' she said of the Galaxy. 'We are fans and franchise.' Martin said he has received messages on social media, including from Galaxy fans and supporters of other teams, criticizing his stance. However, Angel City Brigade said its members made a unanimous decision to protest. 'We have always had moments where we have a very clear vision about how we feel,' Jiménez said. 'And I think this is one of the times when everyone has made the same decision.' Galaxy fans plan to stage more protests during the team's next home match.

Josef Newgarden laments what could have been in Indy 500 three-peat bid
Bruce Martin Special to INDIANAPOLIS — There's a reason why no driver in history has won three straight Indy 500s. Because it's hard. Even with perhaps the fastest car at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Sunday's 109th Indianapolis 500, Team Penske's Josef Newgarden was starting in the back row. It came after INDYCAR Series officials heavily penalized Team Penske for modifying the rear attenuator. Newgarden knew he would have to put on the race of his life to win his third-straight Indy 500. Newgarden had a lot working against him, even with the fastest car. The winning driver has never won the Indianapolis 500 from 28th or lower. Newgarden was starting 32nd. Newgarden laid back at the start of the race on the first green-flag lap because he saw the potential of a crash at the back of the pack. Sure enough, Marco Andretti and Jack Harvey were involved in a crash in Turn 1 that knocked Andretti out of the race. Harvey was able to continue but Newgarden was nowhere near the calamity when it occurred. Once the race finally settled down, Newgarden proved he had one of the fastest cars on the track. The No. 2 Shell Chevrolet raced its way through the field to as high as sixth place on Lap 128. He had the right strategy to fight for the win over the final 32 laps. Newgarden made his scheduled pit stop on Lap 133 and had an issue. He returned to the track but came back down pit road on Lap 134 and never returned to action. "It looks like some fuel pressure issues, so I'm not sure," Newgarden said after he climbed out of the car. "It's some kind of anomaly or something we've never seen before. "It's just unfortunate for the whole group. It's a team sport, which that very much shows it. You guys were definitely right on pace for what you had to do today to have a shot to make history." Newgarden reflected on what could have been on Sunday. "It's tough to not have a shot here at the end," he said. "It's a team sport. It takes everything to win here. "I'm still immensely grateful to run at Indianapolis. As tough as it is to take, I still feel grateful to be out here today. I just wish we had a chance to fight for it." Newgarden began his day loudly booed by many fans during driver introductions over the latest controversy surrounding the team. Although he seemed to use that for motivation earlier in the week, he remained determined to give it a shot at becoming the first driver to win three-straight Indy 500s. It's a record that will remain unachieved, for now.

What happens when the ‘iconic' Indy 500 Borg-Warner Trophy runs out of room?
Bruce Martin Special to INDIANAPOLIS — When the Borg-Warner Trophy appeared for the first time in Victory Lane after the 1936 Indianapolis 500, it had plenty of room on the original trophy to display the faces of the winning drivers, beginning with Ray Harroun in 1911. But it ran out of room on the original trophy after Bobby Rahal won the Indianapolis 500 in 1986. The solution was to mount the 80-pound, 4-foot-tall trophy on an additional base, beginning with the 1987 Indianapolis 500. Rahal was the last driver's face on the original trophy and Al Unser the first on the base after he won his fourth Indy 500 in 1987. Today, the Borg-Warner Trophy is 110-pounds and 5-foot-four-inches-and-three-quarters tall. As each Indianapolis 500 has passed and more winners have been added to the base of the trophy, it will once again run out of space in 2034. BorgWarner's creative team is working on a solution when the base fills up with the addition of a second base that will feature the winner of the 2035 Indianapolis 500 as its first face. "We're still throwing that around — what the second base is going to look like. But the last time we did this, we added on a complete additional base, which makes the trophy stand even taller, allowing for many more faces to come," BorgWarner CEO Joseph Fadool said Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "Between now and then, we'll figure out the right approach to do it or maybe something a little bit different. "The unique thing over time, the trophy actually grows in size and stature and importance, so I think it's just fitting for the importance of Indy." The Borg-Warner Trophy is really a measurement of time and the history of the Indianapolis 500. Each face represents a different tale, a different era and a glimpse back in time. "What a great way to put that," Fadool said. "As we talked about, the trophy is growing in stature, growing physically, becoming even more important over time and just represents excellence and teamwork, which is all that takes to win this race. "We're just proud to be a part of it, and I know all of our BorgWarner employees just love to be a part of this INDYCAR Series, especially here at the Indianapolis 500." It all began back in 1935. Before the Borg-Warner Trophy, there was the Wheeler-Schebler Trophy. It was initially awarded to the leader of the race at the 400-mile mark. It was retired when owner Harry Hartz won it three times. The Borg-Warner Trophy was commissioned in 1935 and officially became the annual prize for Indianapolis 500 victors in 1936. The Art Deco design of the Borg-Warner Trophy includes wings on the side that symbolize the speed of flight. But the most unique feature was the sculpted faces representing each of the 24 drivers who had already won the race when the trophy debuted in 1936. The driver that won it that day was Louie Meyer, the first three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500. As the new Borg-Warner Trophy was placed on the back of his winning race car, Meyer asked for a cold bottle of buttermilk, becoming the first driver to have milk as his victory celebration after winning the Indianapolis 500. Two great traditions were created on the same day in 1936. Since then, every race winner has had his face added to this iconic trophy, which has become the symbol for reaching the pinnacle of performance. Winners do not get to take the Borg-Warner Trophy home. It stays on permanent display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Winning drivers and team owners receive a sterling silver replica of the trophy which is fondly referred to as the Baby Borg. After the winner's sterling silver image is attached to the main trophy, a replica image is attached to the Baby Borg's lacquered wood base. William Behrends has been sculpting the faces of the Indy 500 winners since 1990. The 2024 winner, Josef Newgarden, was the 35th face he has sculpted for the trophy. Behrends, who began sculpting when he was 26 years old, has been commissioned to immortalize a wide variety of subjects. Those subjects include Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays, automotive pioneer Henry Ford II, golf legend Bobby Jones, and Supreme Court Justice John Marshall, who was Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. Behrends grew up in Wisconsin and has always had a special place in his heart for the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." "Growing up in the Midwest, I was always aware of the Indianapolis 500," Behrends said. "The first race I really noticed was 1963 when Parnelli (Jones) won. I was really fascinated by him and that win stuck in my memory. "Each year I look forward to working with the Indy 500 winner to capture his emotions and spirit so they can be part of the Borg-Warner Trophy for years and years to come." Then, there is the tale of Jack Mackenzie, who was once the caretaker of the Borg-Warner Trophy. Mackenzie was a student at Butler University in Indianapolis when he became the caretaker of the trophy in 1953. He earned $75 for his first year in that role and was responsible for transporting the trophy to various events throughout the month of May. Mackenzie stored the 80-pound sterling silver trophy in his dorm room at his fraternity house. He hauled it around town in the backseat of his car, often covering it with an army blanket for added security. Despite his best efforts, the trophy once vanished from his room in the fraternity house. Mackenzie said when he returned home from a date, the Borg-Warner Trophy was missing. He eventually found it in the basement of his fraternity house where it was being used as an impromptu drinking vessel. Mackenzie relinquished his trophy duties following the 1983 Indianapolis 500 saying at the time, "I've had my fun, I've enjoyed going to all the different activities associated with the speedway. It's time to let somebody else have some fun." The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has maintained control of the Borg-Warner Trophy ever since. "It's something all the drivers look forward to having their face on if they can win the Indianapolis 500," Indianapolis Motor Speedway and INDYCAR President Doug Boles said.

Rash of Crash: Inside a wild weekend of wrecks during Indy 500 prep
Bruce Martin Special to INDIANAPOLIS — The past three days of on-track activity ahead of the 109th Indianapolis 500 included a "Rash of Crash." When Scott McLaughlin's No. 3 Pennzoil Chevrolet slammed into the Turn 2 wall and went airborne in Sunday afternoon's practice session, it was the fourth serious crash of the weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. McLaughlin's Team Penske crew prepared Josef Newgarden's backup car but decided to pull out of the Fast 12 qualification session to get it ready for Monday's full-field practice session for the 109th Indianapolis 500. It highlights the risk versus reward of racing high-speed Indy cars around the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Since the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911 to this weekend's qualifications, danger lurks just around every corner for every driver that hits that track. But these are athletes that look danger in the face and don't flinch. That is why 350,000 fans will fill the sold-out grandstands on Sunday for this year's Indianapolis 500 in the ultimate battle of man versus machine. The famed auto racing journalist and publisher Chris Economaki used to say tracks promoted racing drivers as "death defying daredevils" in the 1930s through the 1960s. Of course, in modern times, that can't be used for liability reasons, but part of the allure of the Indy 500 is these are athletes who risk it all to compete in the "World's Biggest Race." The fact each driver involved in every crash walked away uninjured and were back on track to try it again is a major testament to the safety of the current Indy car. The "Rash of Crash" began on Fast Friday. Chip Ganassi Racing driver Kyffin Simpson crashed in Turn 4 during a qualification simulation. His No. 8 Honda backed into wall and briefly lifted off the ground, tipped on the left side, did a quarter roll on its wheels and skidded down the front straight before coming to a stop at the entrance of pit road. Simpson returned to action in a backup car for Saturday morning's practice session. Also on Friday, Kyle Larson crashed his No. 17 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, but it was mundane by comparison, a three-quarter spin before making front-end contact in Turn 3. Larson returned to the track later that day. But the crashes were more serious beginning on Saturday. Marcus Armstrong, who had been one of the fastest drivers in Indy 500 practice for Meyer Shank Racing, got loose and made hard rear and left side contact with the Turn 1 SAFER Barrier. The car slid down the track and had secondary left-side contact in Turn 2. His No. 66 Honda did not tip or go airborne. Colton Herta, however, had a vicious and thunderous crash in Turn 1 on his qualification attempt on Saturday. The No. 26 Gainbridge Honda did a half-spin before pile-driving into the SAFER Barrier. The car overturned and slid along the track upside-down, making secondary impact with the Turn 2 SAFER Barrier. The aeroscreen played a major role in protecting Herta from potential serious. Herta walked away and returned to the track and qualified 29th for the 33-car starting lineup. That was the prelude to McLaughlin's major crash during Sunday's Fast 12 practice, ruining the chances of the fastest car at the Speedway to make a qualification attempt. At the time of his crash, McLaughlin had just completed the fastest lap of the practice session at 233.553 mph in the No. 3 Pennzoil Chevrolet. McLaughlin's car hammered the Turn 2 wall, launching the car into the air before it slammed heavily into the asphalt on its left side. The impact left a deep gash in the asphalt of the race, which had to repaired by track safety workers. McLaughlin's car bounced onto its wheels and slid to rest at the exit of the corner. McLaughlin was uninjured, but distraught that he crashed what could have easily been the pole-winning car for the second straight year at the Indy 500. "I'm just really, really, really, really sorry for everybody at Team Penske and the guys on the (No.) 3 car, and everybody on the 2 (Josef Newgarden), 12 (Will Power) and everyone who builds these cars," McLaughlin said after he was released from the IU Health Medical Center. "It (the car) was talking to me, and I sort of felt it and I should have backed out. "But you know you are trying to complete a run to see what it feels like and was it worth the risk. It probably wasn't. I'm incredibly sad. … You just try and brace yourself and hope you don't go in the catch fence. I'm very grateful to INDYCAR for the safety. My team and the SAFER Barriers kept me safe." McLaughlin returns to action for Monday's full-field practice session and by opting to sit out the Fast 12 qualification session, will start 12th in Sunday'smain event. Ironically, he will be joined by his two Team Penske teammates, Newgarden and McLaughlin, as INDYCAR officials pulled both cars out of line for working on the car in the qualifying line after it had been in technical inspection. Both teams had made repairs and/or modifications to the attenuator on the rear of the car. That aside, McLaughlin's focus is preparing a car capable of winning the race on Sunday. "You just have to get on with it," McLaughlin said. "If they can build a car for me fantastic. I have the best crew on pit lane. I'm really gutted for them. I just destroyed it. "It's hard to take, especially now. You kind of wish it was for something, but it was for nothing in practice. But ultimately, those are the decisions that you make at that speed, and I chose to keep the run going. That's on me." Engineers and personnel have all indicated the hybrid unit changes the balance of pressure on a race car, which means weight shifting from front to rear and diagonally from right rear to left front and left rear to right front. But they all indicated it is too early to blame that as the reason for the crashes at this year's Indianapolis 500. Friday and Saturday's on-track activity were on windy days, and that can dramatically impact an Indy car's ability to maintain grip at very high speeds. The bottom line — these are race cars traveling around a 2.5-mile race course designed in 1909 with 45-degree turns traveling at over 233 miles per hour. Of course, the crashes are going to be big. FOX Sports spoke with several IndyCar Series drivers about why the last three days included some spectacular crashes and if the extra weight provided by the hybrid unit played a role. "… it proves the cars are really safe, because everyone got out of these horrendous crashes without a scratch," four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves said on Sunday. "That's a plus. "Of course, being in the car right now and living it, you can see the cross-weight is a little different. It's not so much the weight of the hybrid, but the floor of the car. I remember last year, it was crazy in that situation and now with the added weight … "But as far as cars flipping over, I've had that situation in the past. We are traveling over 230 miles an hour, but everyone is coming out safe and that is the important part. Scott Dixon is a six-time INDYCAR Series Champion, the 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner and the second winningest driver in IndyCar history with 58 career victories. At 44, Dixon is the "Village Elder" of INDYCAR. He is the wise sage of the series and has seen plenty in his career, both good and bad. What has made Dixon so great is his ability to adapt and survive the danger in a risky business. "Conditions have been tough, especially Saturday with the wind," Dixon told FOX SPorts. "The hybrid doesn't make it any easier, that's for sure, but it's the same for everybody and you have to dial it in. "Some big crashes, bigger than we have seen in recent years. But I think that happens every year where you have people pushing the limits. We had a couple today and a couple yesterday, it's just part of it, especially when you go from race trim to qualifying trim, that can be a big shift. "Luckily, everybody is OK. "It's not easy, man. It's difficult out there." That's why the drivers in the Indianapolis 500 become larger than life heroes, if they can avoid the danger that awaits them around the next turn.
