Sorry ABC - 8m are not on "income support". My fact check for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

If it was me, I'd play Jančevski further up the field next season...

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

For @xtramagazine.com I wrote about the media’s problem(s) covering women’s sports! “Coverage was often so focused on giving these athletes a platform that it became overwhelmingly positive; any critical question becomes a ‘hit piece’ & players form a distrust of the media.”

Doing a bit of research and Sam Kerr's stats are even crazier when broken down 114 goals in 156 games for Chelsea Record against 'big four': 20 in 33 Record in UWCL: 20 in 34 Record in finals: 10 goals in 7 Only failed to score in one of those seven finals. Won five of them

The jokes and quotes are good but tbqh but this bodes quite ominously for what they’re about to do with 2031, compared to the relative affordability of the past few tournaments.

Yes @jpbne.bsky.social does have a serious set of pipes. 😄🗣️📣 #ALW

The right are so obsessed with the idea that leftist agitiators on are secretly being paid is simply because their movement is being secretly financed. They also can't imagine why you would take a position that you weren't being paid to take, since they have no actual principles beyond self-interest

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

"Meet & Greet with Evangeline Victoria — Join us from 6:00pm – 6:30pm for a special meet and greet. A great opportunity for the kids and fans to get up close!" Umm isn't the whole point of double headers (according to the club) so men's fans will flock to the game?

The extra FIFA congres to officially confirm the hosts of the 2031 and 2035 will be a virtual event, held November 23. I wonder if it's coincidence that the date is after the U.S. elections.

The Matildas' options for June friendly opponents are limited to teams who aren't playing world cup qualifiers (UEFA and CONMEBOL have qualifiers) USA are playing Brazil. So for our opponents to be top 30 teams, like people want, it would have to be AFC teams or Canada/Mexico

This is excellent news www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Jordan Angeli, Denver Summit minority-owner, teasing Sam Kerr coming back to the NWSL on a league broadcast feels… icky

When Sam Kerr has the ball, it's like a magnet to the goal 🧲 #ChelseaFCW #BarclaysWSL

Going after Parkrun – a non-competitive event which has no changing rooms – perfectly illustrates that it's never been about fairness in sport, women's safety or anything else. It's about bullying and demonising trans people, hounding them out of public life in every space possible. It's disgusting.

I’d say it was bush league but most bush leagues are run better than the APL runs the dub. #ALW

i knew there was a far side comic for the news today

Even though I had no team in the fight, that still sucked. I hope new owners are found, and that it is sooner rather than later.

And it WILL be a choice. There’s money in the ACT to pay to host AFL games for clubs that don’t even go here, there has been money in the APL to prop up other clubs.

That cannot be allowed to be Canberra United’s last game. Not after a record crowd Not after their best season in years The legacy of a home Women’s World Cup and a home Asian Cup cannot be shuttering the country’s only professional women’s club.

As for Canberra, I hope that's not the last time we see them play in the #ALW. Everyone from the Govt, the APL, and others need to do everything they can to not let them die. A team without Canberra in the A-Leagues, would be a sad day.

A great result that definitely exceeded my expectations going in, but I hope this isn't the last we see of Canberra

If we have to do another bucket drive to save Canberra United, so be it… but don’t you dare get it to this point again. If they go, don’t expect them to come back. To those who genuinely care, the club is standing RIGHT NOW. Fight to protect it. #ALW #CanberraUnited

Desperately hoping it's not the last time we see Canberra play.

our starting eleven for our first finals game!!!

The Cleveland Browns org has done some surprisingly good things. The team's owners are also responsible for trading for Deshaun Watson and signing him to the richest contract in NFL history despite 22 different women accusing him of sexual assault. And now they're NWSL owners.

Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, I repeat Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, this is unpreced— <wait my producer is just whispering something in my ear> Apparently this is precedented

Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Per FIFA, the Women's World Ranking Top 10 is finally free of the DPRK menace for now.

I interviewed Lando Norris and the world champion was open, honest and articulate. And then his management stepped in to police and muzzle him in an attempt to "control the narrative." From then on it did not go too well....this is what happened. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...

The ACT Government funds sports at the following rates each year: The ACT Racing club: $8 million p/a. GWS Giants: $2.85 million p/a to "be Canberra's team". Canberra Raiders: $2.6 million p/a. ACT Brumbies: $1.78 million p/a. Canberra United: $400,000 p/a as a "lifeline" this year And next.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Back to the regularly scheduled state of affairs for Canberra United.

Death, taxes and Michelle Heyman going to town on the football authorities about the lack of certainty for Canberra United's future.

The APL really need to get their shit together asap. We can't afford to lose a team like Canberra.

As Canberra United prepares for its #ALW Elimination Final on Saturday, the questions over the clubs future remain as the club still does not have an owner, and Saturday could mark the last ever game it plays. STORY: roundballaustralia.com.au/ahead-of-alw...
