This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

A weird era of restricted MLS involvement in the U.S. Open Cup ended this year, with all 27 American MLS teams back in USOC next year On the future and why, for once, short-term financial incentives must be secondary to preserving a historic competition www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

nytimes.comOn heels of spirited final, U.S. Open Cup’s future can become more robust (Gift Article)With all U.S.-based MLS teams set to participate once again, the U.S. Open Cup's once-murky outlook is clearing up

That's roughly $20 in today's dollar

Today in #USOpenCup history (Oct. 20, 1922): Bethlehem Steel hosted Kaywood Catholic Club (#Philly) in the opening round at Bethlehem Steel Field. Just 55 cents to get in!

Researching Pants Store FC I found their kits were likely plain red with a prominent Pants Store Co logo. As seen on the circled Pants Store players in the pic. I worked with @oliveandyork.com to create a kit that was loyal to that original design while updating it with modern elements.

Anyone looking for a ticket to Knocked Loose at the Factory next week? Tickemaster seems to be blocking reselling tickets. Ticket was $76.35 and I'm just looking to break even. It's the same night I'll be in Columbus for the CITY Open Cup Final

Good. Still need that full women's USOC tho

Carlo Holse sauntered into the interview room after an MLS Player of the Matchday level performance eating a Chocolate Chunk cookie and drinking a Pepsi Zero. The reasons to choose MLS are plentiful. I'm sorry if you can't see that.

Turning state violence into a public spectacle is a very fascist move BTW.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

Hasan was paralyzed in the shooting, so as if this wasn't all bad enough already, sit with the image of him being executed while in a wheelchair for that extra frisson of barbarity.

In no world am I reading the bullshit from the dude who has never known the meaning of the word no and can't accept that the team is better without him

Speaking to us here in Orlando, USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino has some rare praise for MLS — specifically the MLS coaches who have worked with all of the newcomers in today's match.

Replying to @pwnallthethings.bsky.social

it's important for folks to not confuse some of the bigtechs going nuts in the past few years for "technology as a whole is bad". Technology and science progress is, on net, a massively positive thing for human fulfilment and florishing

OK, streaming killed OTA because it had too many ads. What kills streaming?
