Lisa Demuth suddenly believes in having open transparent debate. How about on the bill the senate sent you, Lisa. Or is it like it always is, just for your interests?

Bucket Hat Brigade 🍦 @buckethatsmn.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
We stand with the @psraofficials.bsky.social against the physical intimidation and sexist abuse directed at a match official by an MLS NEXT Pro coach. MLS NEXT Pro must protect their officials, demand proper treatment of women, and enforce real accountability. #RespectTheRefs
The Bucket Hat Brigade stands firmly with the Professional Referee Association (PSRA) in condemning the unacceptable actions of the MLS NEXT Pro head coach who physically intimidated and verbally demeaned a female match official.

Forcefully grabbing an official and uttering sexist remarks like "Don't forget, this is a man's game" has absolute zero place in soccer—or anywhere else.

A two-game suspension is a slap on the wrist that completely ignores U.S. Soccer's own mandatory minimums for physical grabs and acts of discrimination, which require at least a three-game suspension each. Coaches must be held to a higher standard, not given a pass when they violate basic dignity and safety guidelines.

Women enrich every single level of the beautiful game. They deserve respect, safety, and full support on the pitch—not harassment and light-handed discipline. MLS NEXT Pro must reevaluate this decision and enforce real accountability.

That’s an entertaining half and I think both teams probably feel as though they’ll score in the 2nd. Loons must take all 3. They really can’t afford to drop any more home pts at this stage.

So much this. It has no consciousness, no remorse, no joy, no shame, no sorrow. It doesn't care that you asked it to apologize or gave it punishment, it is just an interface to a machine and when it doesn't give you a result you expected, you asked it in a way that caused that result.

I love ya Loons, but you know it’s been a rough stretch for #MNUFC when the radio show on the way home has a sound bite of Dabassi scoring from years ago as the intro.

#MNUFC That is BAD officiating by Allen Chapman. It's a well-established soccer referee principle that if the GK is injured play should be stopped immediately. It's such a liability to not have a capable GK that play stoppage is mandatory. Dike scoring into an open net there is bullshit.

It was a tough day last year. Can't read the links that people post, it's too much and too close. Going to choose to remember that in the face of an evil act, so many people felt so compelled to do something good in response. Go do something good again today. And the next day and the day after.

Considering Erik Lamela won a Puskas for a goal similar to this (I think Pereya's had a higher degree of difficulty), I find it odd that this isn't blowing up internationally. #MNUFC

As the first Lisa for governor ad after the primary hit and I got hear that she was “fearless” I couldn’t help but think of my nieces and nephews getting shot in a church a year ago that fearless Lisa couldn’t bring herself to have a tough vote on. I don’t have words strong enough.

Watching a really bad SKC team sit in a low block, dare #MNUFC to find a way through knowing they don’t have the personnel to do it, and then murdering them on the counter because for 5 years Wil Trapp can’t break those up… Spend some f%!king money MNUFC.

I always thought I needed the support of a larger outlet, for soccer writing. Now I'm trying it without one - but I need your support.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.
