Why the hell would you ever let top-flight soccer leave a city like Vancouver

The World Cup kicks off tomorrow, and now's a great time to follow my World Cup scorigami bot! The bot will go live at every final whistle, giving historical context for each result as well as probabilities of advancing from the group and winning the tournament. @worldcupscorigami.bsky.social

The most 'inclusive' World Cup ever? Doesn't look like it ...

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

NEW from City Hall: The motion from Councillor @seanorr.bsky.social on getting a low-income transit pass has passed unanimously.

If I had a nickel for every time the #UCL and #CCC finals ended with identical scorelines on the same day, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird it’s happened twice in two years.

This kind of shit talking only works when you can walk the walk to back it up and Tim Sweeney just fired 1000 people because his infinite money printer isn't growing as fast as he wants it to.

The latest #ViewFrom #VWFC newsletter just dropped! With a win from Berhalter's boot, to a loss from Takaoka's outstretched leg, long-suffering Vancouver sports fan @lyteforce.ca shares some Whitecaps FC vibes. 'Issue #52 - Win a Match, Lose a Match’ - buttondown.com/from231/arch...

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

We have friends everywhere. Thank you all for standing with us. Please continue to help us fight. #SaveTheCaps #UTFSS #VWFC

Whitecaps owners, government, and MLS need to sit down and hammer out a deal. No more of this cloak and dagger stuff. Also, don't negotiate while also having a good time out with FIFA delegates in Vancouver. It is getting really embarrassing for both the government and MLS.

The circus gets larger by the minute #SaveTheCaps #VWFC

I really want every Whitecaps fan & every MLS fan to read this one. And remember that this is all going to be dirty, dirty business. www.thedisrespected.com/the-mls-ponz...

Really incredible call to action from a 'Caps fan on r/MLS. MLS fans everywhere should understand this isn't *just* about Vancouver! Read it. It's brilliant. www.reddit.com/r/MLS/commen...

I've taken the paywall off of this. Shouldn't have had it up in the first place. My bad.

I talked to Ravi Kahlon this morning. Says Whitecaps have not presented a proposal to take over BC Place, but is all ears if it's fully costed. Back to you, Kerfoot & co. theprovince.com/sports/socce...

Save the Caps, no hate at @vsb39.bsky.social, reinstate the sex worker social planning position, restore lifeguards at city beaches, stop picking winners and losers with our community centres, stop the crackdown on Vancouver’s arts venues

This game is incredible sometimes. #UCL

My first effort at a John Garrett obit theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

Whitecaps to the Vegas? Yeah, sure, maybe. But let's talk pressure points. theprovince.com/sports/socce...

Was wondering when this was going to come out. It is definitely worrisome, but I also know that the likes of @risingaction.bsky.social will provide some much needed local context soon. Still, the risk is real, Whitecaps could leave if BC politicians don't get their act together.

@asarehman.bsky.social yours and Colin’s thoughts on the two handball-checked goals? #VWFC #SaveTheCaps
