The NFL says “Football is America.”For many in Ireland today, that’s not a selling point. Here’s a photo of the scene outside Croke Park where the Steelers & Vikings (owned by Jewish Agency for Israel chairman & anti-Palestinian zealot Mark Wilf, hence the flags) are playing.

"It cut particularly deeply with people that the NFL was being allowed to stage the game at Croke Park... owned... by the Gaelic Athletic Association... There are other, fancier stadiums in Dublin, but the NFL wanted to colonize 'Croker' and plant that flag in the most Irish of sporting spaces.' "

They must have pulled random people off the street to ref this game

spotted on r/seattle

oh weird the Whitecaps player who should have been carded off eons ago scores a goal and ties it up

holy crap lots of brilliant play from everyone on that second goal

MLS referees just having another absolute normal one

When it's us versus them, you can always count on me.

USL Players Association is calling for fans to block USL Championship on instagram. It would appear that both sides are far from coming to a new bargaining agreement. One of the demands USL Players are seeking is employer-provided healthcare.

late to this one but it made me laugh real good

Roughly $530 million of the $1.19 billion allocated to Northwest tribal nations in fiscal year 2024 — used to fulfill the federal government’s trust and treaty obligations to Native American and Alaska Native tribes — is at risk of being cut. (Melanie Henshaw / InvestigateWest)

no matter where you live - liberal west coast or not - there are bigots everywhere, and it is up to us to push back against their rhetoric

we need an uncensored version - quit being a coward

Latin American historian here. This is (in part) following the playbook of DINA in Chile and the birth of the terror-izing military junta. And we all know how it ended there. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

this admin is more concerned with identifying and liquidating its enemies than any kind of domestic (or foreign) policy that would remotely benefit working peoples. Now where I have heard this one before....

Why is no one at this Atlanta United match? *looks at the standings* oh, that's unfortunate

Meanwhile, here in Michigan:

Never underestimate Man United's ability to step on a rake out of nowhere 🤯

I have no dogs in this fight but I do love to watch a completely medicore NE Revs get denied a playoff spot - MLS suffers excessively because there is no impetus for mediocre clubs to be anything more than mediocre. PRO/REL would do wonders for this sport in North America

this exists it is called thinking

club over country

Ezra Klein read that piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates and discovered there’s a difference between a pundit and an intellectual.

" The second and third versions also missed the mark, prompting the weavers to send instructional videos to Adidas explaining their weaving techniques. They took a hands-on, creative lead throughout the process. Ultimately, the fourth and final jersey captured their vision."

Dani better Carvahaul his ass right to that locker room

Absolutely no one should be shocked to see this from the club that plays their home games at America First Field. This is what we're up against. This is why making our group, our culture, our community and our stadium specifically Anti-Fascist and Anti-Racist is so important.

every year at this time, when I see this complete BS, I stop and remember what happened to Balbur Singh Sodhi after 9/11 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_...

#OnThisDay 11 Sept 1973 🇨🇱 The democratically elected Chilean president, Salvador Allende, died during a military coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet What role did footballers play in resisting Pinochet's dictatorship in #Chile? Find out in my book, The Defiant: A History of Football Against Fascism

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

can we skip the entire meta-conversation about how everyone on Bluesky needs to police everyone else on Bluesky about how to respond to an act of political violence

It was hilarious* to hear BBC refer to this mural as "not related to any specific political cause" *incredibly frustrating - why is public broadcasting dropping the ball so hard right now?

🇧🇴 The final whistle of Bolivia’s 1-0 home win against Brazil which saw the Andean nation snatch the CONMEBOL play-off spot for the 2026 World Cup! 🥹 Bolivia were reliant on Venezuela dropping points at home to Colombia, which they did: the match ended 🇻🇪 3-6 🇨🇴!

yeah I'm not really sure that's how sportsball matches are won but you're the professional not me

I'm deeply curious as to how this relates to labor/migration/race in the U.S. with ICE's attacks on South Korean workers at a Hundai factory. That this stadium was largely packed full of South Korean fans, and that same weekend ICE conducted its largest raid yet coincidentally of SK laborers...

so much for all that "German guilt"...

...espn+ is $30/month now?? lmfao thank goodness so much soccer that matters has migrated off of there

IDK if finding a new coach every other year is gonna cure the curse that is the structure of Pay-To-Play for USSF - but go off I guess

really enjoyed this interview - looking forward to the book!
