The Midwestern need or urge or whatever to Beat The Traffic will never cease to amaze me, especially in this economy. Y'all paid how much to attend this sporting event, why are you not getting every minute of your money's worth?

I can't wait to fill my closet with fifteen NWSL Columbus jerseys and buy season tickets and plan summer vacations to see them on the road. I can't freaking wait.

On April Fools' Discordecke/Server 96 became a fake AustinFC server & supporters group: "Good Boys&Girls of Verde" AustinFC brings shelter dogs to every match via @AustinPetsAlive 100+ adopted! We turned the prank into a charity drive. We're Crew fans & proved this community is about something more.

Columbus should have been the first, but they saved the best for last! #NWSLtoCBus is happening and we're so excited to cheer for our newest obsession! PS: Build the park, Jimmy!!

It makes me a little angry and more than a little sad that there aren't very many people in this space celebrating what should be a Massive Day for Columbus sports. Andy Ginther & HSG spoiled another million dollar opportunity. And HSG isn't even the majority owner of the NWSL franchise!

I hate how tainted NWSL to Columbus has become by the stench of Jimmy Haslam and civic politics. But I'm excited for it nonetheless and can't wait to be there on opening day.

I'm very excited to read the press release announcing the new Manager of Fan Culture & Development. Such a vital role should have as wide an introduction as possible.

Ok so the game isn't worth talking about so lemme ask this question: Why didn't anyone from #Crew96 do any major advertising for the best watch party idea to land in their lap in the past 10 years? This place should be more full. So disappointing.

I've been ejected from the #Crew96 match because a security guard thinks they saw me wave an unapproved flag after being warned about waving an unapproved flag. The flag in question:

I was extremely fortunate to be a part of the #Crew96 Circle of Honor process and honored to take up some space on that hallowed field with those wonderful folks during this weekend's ceremony. I hope I did y'all proud.

Imagine a world where the Columbus Crew is worth nearly a billion dollars. Massive. #Crew96 "HSG sold the shares to the Edwards family, which was already a partner in the team and will now own 30% of the 2023 MLS Cup champions." www.sportico.com/business/tea...

In my thread earlier about inclusion nights for MLS teams, I was using data from the schedule pages on each team’s individual website. It was pointed out that I should also be including data from separate promotional calendars and press releases. I looked for those, and here is that data.

There are a lot of things that can be said about Columbus #Crew96 fans, but the least discussed thing about us is that we do the damn research. We grab the receipts. And we are not shy about holding them up for all of #MLS to see. Read this thread, and call your ticket reps as appropriate.

This headline construction could apply to nearly anyone in the Trump 2.0 administration. "The EPA Head Who Hates the Environment." "The HHS Secretary Who Hates Science-Based Medicine." "The Education Sec. Who Hates Education." "The President Who Hates Democracy." The nihilism is a throughline.
A New York Times headline and sub-headline that reads:

The Trade Adviser Who Hates Trade
Once sidelined, President Trump’s counselor Peter Navarro has returned to Washington and quickly upended the global trading system.
