With less than 24 hours remaining in the fan vote to decide the captain of the 2018 MLS All-Star team, strong indications are that Michael Parkhurst is in danger of losing out. Our advanced analytics guru has scoured the internet and understands that the Atlanta United captain is not in the lead when it comes to most Twitter interactions.
This will not stand. Atlanta’s fans are notorious for dominating online fan voting. Parkhurst leads the Five Stripes with pure class every week and it’s time to repay those contributions. We need all hands on deck to make sure Parky is wearing the armband for the MLS All-Stars next week in front of his home crowd.
You have exactly 24 hours left to make your pick!
