Remember that the USL is centrally owned and that the teams are separate franchises that pay to play in the league. The league pockets those fees with very little if any revenue sharing with the existing teams. It’s in the leagues INTEREST to get more teams to join and not REALLY care if they fold.

BREAKING: per multiple sources, South Georgia Tormenta will not be fielding a team in 2026. Signed players to enter a draft, or take severance pay.

As much as I like a lot of the stuff the USL is doing, there’s a lot of it that seems very counterintuitive.

@sethman31.bsky.social gets fans ready for the 2026 MLS season

1/ You can also read the text in English here: www.bundesliga.com/en/bundeslig... - maybe the best thing about this is exactly how specific Kompany gets about both the nature of and the solution to the problem. He names names, he provides a path forward.

As far as the political open cup goes, I'll take Vermont over Maine any day. Susan Collins is a disgrace (and Angus King ain't much better)

Hey @bymattpollard.bsky.social, what are the chances Sydney Wathuta gets some decent first team minutes for Colorado this year?

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

Currently working on a "Where are they now" piece for the @greenmountainbhoys.bsky.social so the @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social faithful can keep track of their favorite players in the pro leagues. Currently at 1500 words and am through *squints* 11 of 25 players....get ready to read kids.

WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDER VALUE?!

As if I needed more reasons to hate this team.

Possibly the dumbest decision by a place that has no shortage of self-inflicted wounds in recent years. If you’re an MLS fan, subscribe to Doyle’s newsletter. I promise you’ll get coverage you want. Why the league doesn’t want to be in that business anymore is incomprehensible.

ALLEZ VERMONT ALLEZ ALLEZ VERMONT ALLEZ ALLEZ VERMONT ALLEZ OHHH Get the bus ready for that Western Mass away day

These things are connected. The reason away support seems better (for many clubs, not just Man City) is because home stadium ticketing focuses on hospitality, corporate, and creating an event to be marketed rather than a team to supported.

Not sure why anyone would risk coming to the US for the World Cup.

AND A COMPETANT GRAB BY HERMANNSEN!?

The helicopter boy comes good AGAIN

“wretched defeats” which is, of course, the club motto.

All out against fascism. All out for our neighbors, friends, & strangers in need. All out for the beautiful game and the community it creates. All out for each other. New shirt up in our store. All $ to fund our '26 season tifos, banners, smoke, etc greenmountainbhoys.printful.me/product/foot...

Mods are asleep, time to leak the new t-shirt... greenmountainbhoys.printful.me/product/foot...

As we all know, Vermont Green is on this particular bandwagon with the funds generated gong towards environmental sustainability and outdoor recreation.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Love seeing former @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social players Nathan Messer and Yaniv Bazini being talked about as a former and current impact member of their teams.

To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.

@joeclowery.bsky.social is reporting that Messer is heading back to the USL Championship www.theblazingmusket.com/report-natha...

Messer was the best attacking fullback in League One last season, earning an all-USL nod as a result. He’ll give Charleston real variety and quality in the wide areas – and also create a major hole to fill for Portland.

Stoked for VGFC legend. Movin' on up!

So excited for a full season. Letsssss gooooo!

The good folks in San Fransisco taking a stand. Golden City FC would NEVER, NEVER take this kind of stand which is why REAL COMMUNITY TEAMS MATTER.

On the surface, it’s business as usual in the USL Championship. Behind the scenes, CBA talks have been "frustratingly unproductive". Is a work stoppage brewing? @usltactics.com examines where negotiations stand on key topics, from hotels to healthcare ⤵️

As always the great folks over at @asianmanrecords.bsky.social are working hard to fight against the fascists currently invading Minnesota. %100 of all the money from these sales goes towards organizations doing direct work with the citizens of Minneapolis. Help take out the trash.

Reminder: CHAMP IS REAL AND HE WANTS THE CUP

ICE out of Maine. VT ♥️ ME

What is it with fascists and always making that same old mistake of fighting winter people in a winter place during winter

Seeing the Vermont Green crest included for a players introductory press release as they join a team in a bigger European league fills me with so much pride. HES BIG HES GREEN HE IS A VIKING EYTHOOOOOOR EYTHOOOOOOR

First season legend. So stoked to watch him in the Scottish PL

Are people going to ritualistically sacrifice themselves for Erika Kirk
