Perhaps the most offensive thing in this entire Man City scandal is that CFG could have been cooking the books and breaking the roster rules for NYCFC this whole time and didn’t care enough to do so.

When the previous owners of the The Tampa Bay Rays rebranded the team in 2007, they removed the region from the away jerseys — standard fare for most teams. The new primary kit with a retro look debuts Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. Read more: www.wusf.org/sports/2026-...

The Haslams (who gave Deshaun Watson a shit ton of money *after* two dozen allegations) still haven’t fired Higuain. Oh and they were given an NWSL team. Support women and all that. That expansion still baffles me.

A friendly reminder, we're letting the Haslams into this league in 2028. The same Haslams that volunteered to overpay Deshaun Watson AFTER his sexual misconduct allegations came to light. Neat.

What I like about the Rowdies approach is they continue to collaborate with local clubs, in the way they did previously bringing in young prospects like Tate Johnson and Santi Castaneda. There are multiple good clubs in the region. Working with all of them allows the cream to rise to the top.

The #USL announces that it has reached a new agreement on revenue sharing w/its men's professional clubs. National revenues such as sponsorships & media rights will now trickle down to the clubs to a greater degree. This is key if the USL is to attract new investors. www.espn.com/soccer/story...?

This is a *massive* shift in the lower-league landscape. This has been a huge pain point and criticism of USL's model for years. And the revenue sharing including franchise sales is the biggest part, that's the most substantial revenue USL has to share.

Manu Koné, Wesley and Gianluca Mancini make their Champions League debuts in tonight’s starting lineup. Roma haven’t had this many Champions League debutants featuring in the same game since September 2017 against Atlético de Madrid, when they had five (Alisson, Peres, Jesus, Defrel and Pellegrini).

This is basically Jacksonville. You have Sporting Jax who is in it for the real estate and soccer is the third priority. Then theres the Armada. Where I am starting to believe the current owner would rather the team die than complete the sale to prospective owners. With land being at the center.

I think there are a lot of uncomfortable conversations about American pro soccer’s future that get papered over by sexy headlines or soundbites or moments. NWSL vs. MLS vs. USL is a way stupider idea than then architecting a better future together.

Lowery bomb in full effect. Really big swing from Tampa Bay to acquire a player with Locadia’s track record. He’s put up very good numbers in Miami, and the question is how he’ll integrate into this Rowdies lineup.
