Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

There's even a book about him - and another about the time he went on holiday.

Today is the third anniversary of the passing of sportswriter Grant Wahl. U.S. Soccer asked me to write his obituary. ICYMI, you can read it here: tinyurl.com/mtyt25n2

That's called a Dictatorship.

Hey @tombogert.bsky.social, I was wondering if you’ve heard any inside info on the fate of Peyton Miller? I’ve been assuming someone will come in for him in January, but have you heard anything concrete?

MLS Cup? That’s old news. With the offseason fully underway, @benwright.bsky.social examines the storylines worth monitoring. ▪️ Will the looming World Cup spark roster rules change? ▪️ Where will the top free agents land? ▪️ How will Inter Miami use their open DP spot? ▪️ ...and much more Read ⤵️

We lost so much when we lost Grant. Not only was he the greatest American soccer writer but he had the guts and integrity to call out corruption, sexism, and bigotry regardless of what it cost him personally. Very few people in sports media (or any media) are like this!

I wish Grant Wahl was here rn

I am begging us in media to stop mealy-mouthed avoidance of bias with phrases like "in a controversial move." When what we actually mean is "in a move antithetical to every scientific finding and medical recommendation." "A move that will cause both illness and death."

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?

I am thrilled to announce my book, The Messi Effect, comes out June 9 and is available now for preorder. This book takes you behind the scenes of Messi in Miami, and into the MLS boardroom as owners debate how to grow in a fast-evolving American soccer landscape. read.macmillan.com/lp/the-messi...

Just give Doyle and Wiebe a small budget and complete editorial freedom to make 10 hours of stuff worth watching on Apple TV every week, it would transform MLS overnight

Our annual surveys are my favorite piece of content we do, and this year was by far the best. We had almost 3,500 responses! Fans want looser roster rules, are torn on the calendar shift, and are getting tired of Messi mania. Read here ⤵️ www.sixonefivesoccer.com/2025-mls-fan...

I think you have to be really careful to avoid messaging around “don’t take that shot” or “that’s a bad shot” especially if you want kids to play free.

Not only that but it’s actively hard to search for a new thing because of the algorithm pushing me towards things that are essentially in my interest bubble.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Sergio Busquets is old and slow. By next month he'll be retired. So how is he still so central to one of the best teams in MLS? Wrote for The Guardian about trying to measure a famously invisible kind of greatness.

Growing up in LA in the 1970s and 1980s, we routinely had smog alert days when we weren’t allowed to have lunch or recess outside. Your eyes would sting all the time and if I played outside my lungs would burn at the end of the day. It’s vastly better now. But I guess that’s woke?

abolish ICE is a winning issue

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

NEW: Following our @us.theguardian.com investigation, Major League Soccer is reopening its own investigation into Philadelphia Union sporting director Ernst Tanner. The club says Tanner has since been placed on leave. Details here: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

If we have an investigation that lasts 6 months, it’ll all blow over and we can do nothing!

The game of my life. I’ll never experience anything like that again. WE’RE GOING TO THE WORLD CUP!!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey @totalsoccershow.bsky.social, not that it doesn’t reinforce the point, but MLS Season Pass was never a paywall behind a paywall You can have MLS Season Pass without having an AppleTV subscription, and always have been able to It’s how I’ve always used it

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Every case i see for “mls growth” prioritizes wealth at the expense of fans. Bigger franchises fees, more money, more subscriptions, more private equity. Nothing involved with growing the game apparently involves actual fans who make the game unique.

Gary gets it. If you need to explain jump through hoops to explain how something will work, it’s usually an indication that it wont. #MLS

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

One thing that always bugged me about the complaints about Clinton and Democrats is that Democrats didn't actually re-elect Clinton after the media reported on his abuse, but Republicans voted for a known sexual predator three times in a row

There are probably business reasons for doing it but as someone who spends parts of winters in both Northern Europe & Northern USA, there is a reason why Scandinavian countries go from April-Nov & take winters off. And winters in Oslo & Stockholm are not as fierce as in colder regions of N. America.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

You’re not alone

one of the absolute best things MLS has going for it is that it's not on at the same time as american football, basketball and hockey. choosing to forgo that to make it more convenient for europe is wild to me

First day in the office! ✅
