THE INTER MIAMI HATE IS REAL! Are the “Dark Arts” Complaints Fair?

The Inter Miami hate has reached another level. 

Over the last few days, there’s been plenty of criticism surrounding the Herons—from accusations of using the “dark arts” to complaints about how often Miami players surround and argue with referees when things aren’t going their way.

But how much of the criticism is actually deserved?

On this episode of Battered Herons, we’re digging into the conversation surrounding Inter Miami. We’ll discuss what people around MLS are saying, where we think the criticism is fair, where it’s being exaggerated and whether Miami needs to change some of its behavior on the field.

But this isn’t just an episode about THE HATE.

We’re also looking ahead.

We’ll go through Inter Miami’s remaining schedule, assess where the Herons currently stand and give our expectations for each of the games still to come.

After an inconsistent stretch of MLS results, a coaching change and the high of winning the Campeones Cup, what version of Inter Miami are we going to see down the stretch?

Is the criticism deserved? And what should we expect from Miami the rest of the way?
