NEW: Study finds attending a Major League ball game costs an average $225 — thanks to higher ticket and concession prices. Every MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and will receive an average $286,000 in tax breaks this year. Giving the rich more money helps no one but them.

It's unclear to me if these are related, but I tried to go through the implications and I think these two things could combine to launch us into the worst stage of #SoccerWarz yet. Also, I'm dumb for publishing this on a Saturday afternoon. Whatever, read it maybe.

Last week 2 changes in US soccer went under the radar: USSF quietly changed its League/Team ownership standards and MLS Next Pro announced a partnership with the same private equity fund that killed Toys R Us. It's bad. open.substack.com/pub/wburdine...

Since i dropped this over the weekend, here’s the thing i think we all missed last week that shouldn’t get ignored

Season 6 for @lansingcommonfc.bsky.social began with a 2-1 win in a friendly against Lansing-based Liboka FC. I couldn't get a pic of our final scoreboard because the school district forgot to leave us the controller (🤦‍♂️) so I had to get creative with an old photo.

6 points out of a possible 9. We move forward.

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.

Halftime crowd shot at Hinchcliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey. Good first crowd for the New York Cosmos. Great traveling support for Portland Hearts of Pine. (Also update, press have outlets now. Using stadium public WiFi.) #NYCosmos #USL

The New York Cosmos are back. The team’s USL League One debut in front of over 4,000 fans ended in a 3-1 loss to Portland Hearts of Pine. And yet, for the #NYCosmos, the mood was good at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ. Recap on @hudsonriverblue.com: www.hudsonriverblue.com/cosmos-retur...

New York Cosmos and Portland Hearts of Pine are now warming up. Hinchcliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ is slowly filling up. Supporters from both teams coming in, over 500 expected from Maine. #NYCosmos #USL @hudsonriverblue.com

This is wild. Hey @thecup.us, how many @opencup.ussoccer.com have been played indoors? We love us some dorky soccer history stuff!

Postgame press conference with New York Cosmos head coach Davide Corti following his team's 3-1 loss to Portland Hearts of Pine in the USL League One season opener is coming up shortly. #NYCosmos #USL

VGFC & GMB have strong ties to the Cosmos. One of club founders was an OG Cosmos supporter. From day one, our SG got massive love and help from all sorts of Cosmos folks near and far. So it's great to see this historic club back in action for the first time in years. Good luck today, comrades.

Some highlights from the last time we were in the @opencup.ussoccer.com #UTFG

Scoreless at Hinchcliffe but the energy is there in the stands. At least on our side. #NYCPOH

The new new new era

New York Cosmos fans celebrate a first goal for the club in Paterson.

There is so, so, so much more, but the USL is acting like MLS right now, and I hate it. USL needs to deal with the player's union in good faith and stop acting like Starbucks recently did. They are supposed to be the more ethical of the leagues, and still are by lightyears, but this is terrible.

Look, I hate MLS because: They tried to literally steal the "Cascadia Cup" from supporters. Were part of the underhanded mechanisms of the Crew/Austin deal. Knew about the Vancouver sex scandal and stayed absolutely silent. Treated Canadian players like garbage and then tried to take credit.
