PHOTO: Columbus Crew step up Kei Kamara's MVP bid with care packages
The Columbus Crew aren't about to let Toronto FC star Sebastian Giovinco run away with both the MLS Golden Boot and the Most Valuable Player award without putting up a fight for their own star, Kei Kamara.
The Sierra Leone international may have been ruled out of the Golden Boot race, but the MVP race - voted on by MLS players, club management, and key soccer media figures across North America - remains wide open. As such, the Crew sent out these care packages to, perhaps, remind voters of Kamara's 22-goal 2015 campaign.
Tagged with #Kei4MVP, the boxes include a quick rundown of Kamara's stats for the season, as well as a T-Shirt, USB stick, pamphlet, and a Kei Kamara minifigure made by OYO Sports.

The team also changed its Twitter username to #KEI4MVP and its picture to one featuring Kamara flashing his heart-shaped-hands goal celebration.
