What does exist, MLS says, is a "moratorium" on Palestine and Israel flags at games — which, now, for the first time, conflicts with fans wanting to support a Palestinian star player.

Sometime over the past few weeks, as the Crew brought in Palestinian striker Wessam Abou Ali, the club updated its stadium website to include this, about an MLS policy on national flags. (It also referred fans to the policy.)
That policy, as the club now admits, does not exist.
