In the middle of World Cup fever, The New York Cosmos impressed in a 2-1 loss to Liga MX side Santos Laguna at Hinchliffe Stadium on Sunday. #NYCosmos held their own, rallying in the second half with the aid of a new signing. Article on @nysoccerjournal.com: www.nysoccerjournal.com/new-york-cos...

Seven NYC area teams, plus @realcentralnj.bsky.social, begin their quest to qualify for the 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tonight. Consider heading out to watch or catch a stream. Read about them & the others on @hudsonriverblue.com: www.hudsonriverblue.com/amateur-hour... #RBNY #NYCFC #USOC2026

I don’t get how after multiple calls and texts from NASR’s President, FIFA’s head of Media Relations decided to disappear. It’s apparently okay for FIFA on a whim to terminate contact, and I’m supposed to accept that this is how it is. I’ve never felt more frustrated and powerless.

FIFA Media Hub Update: It’s about to be 2 months since my unjust removal and subsequent accreditation termination to Club World Cup. Since then Media Operations has been radio silent on my appeals which I’ve had multiple people advocate on my behalf, and provide proof that I belong. #FIFA #FIFACWC

It’s been 7 days since I’ve appealed, I have emails from club officials that can validate my professionalism on the field. Incredibly frustrating to me that FIFA can at a press of a button can delete my access and not even so much as acknowledge my request.

I know them well! I owe them a photographed game 😂

I'm just trying to make a living somehow, I can do a tournament and retain my ethics.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

When I applied I showed physical proof of my previous accreditations, Copa America, MLS Cup Finals, FC Series, all those press passes.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Part of the application process was to undergo a background check, but I assumed that was checking criminal background, not just assuming that I’m only IT and not also a photographer.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I feel you on this, I’ve made $300 since 2018, so definitely hard to make this my FT job when no one wants to hire me for gigs. I just purely do it as a passion now.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

No worries. Also dealing with Reddit idiots that are saying things like “Well you should simply get a FT photography job.”

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

What? What are you even talking about.

No equivalent that has any FIFA recognition or sanctioned by USSF.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

It’s not even rejecting me, it’s first accepting me in and then turning around and then deleting my account and accreditation for CWC. So yeah… I’m not the only one either.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Literally they don’t say what gets you in or not, but my work with Copa American, FC Series, MLS Cup Finals, and Season credentials was enough for them to approve. They revoked my access purely based on the fact I sustain my living with a 9 to 5 job. Not my work, not the fact I don’t have exp.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

In my case and full transparency $300 since 2018

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

As of right now, I know off hand of 10 individuals that were previously approved and now had their accounts removed for having a 9-5 job.

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I never like to ask for help but if people like @paultenorio.bsky.social @tombogert.bsky.social @mlsist.bsky.social or people from the league @taylortwellman.bsky.social or even @ussoccer.com can help or even bring it to someone’s attention I think FIFA would reconsider it.

How exactly is my fault that I can't get jobs with Getty or AP or Imagn?

John Perd @jaypei.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

So apparently FIFA looks down on people who have 9-5 jobs. This is absolutely ridiculous. Why does it matter? Does me taking photos for Copa America and the whole list of other tournaments while working a 9-5 make me less than a professional photographer?

hey if you're visiting here because Vichy Twitter is down... don't go back! Bad website. Bluesky... pretty good website. At the very least, delete the X app from your phone and set your account to protected (when you can log in and do that again)

I think I've earned a year where I focus on major games only. To everyone who has been with me through this journey; I honestly can't thank you enough for your support. MLS Cup Finals was a good way to put a bow on an incredibly long and arduous year.

Back home, it's been real #RBNY and an amazing run. If you told me back in June that I'd be traveling to LA for MLS Cup finals I'd ask what you were smoking. Going into 2025 I'm going to be shooting less, I've done a tremendous amount of events,

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
