After 20 months w/o meaningful income, I've just accepted an offer for a new gig. It's been the most challenging time of my adult life. The lesson I've learned is to never give up, to reach out to friends & family for support, & to never stop believing that someday, it'll be ok.

BREAKING:
#MLS
announced today that at its recent Board of Governors meeting its clubs voted to have MLS NEXT Pro teams represent the organization in the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
MLS will coordinate with U.S. Soccer regarding participation in the tournament.
For so many of us celebrating the start of the
#MLS
season, please consider the fans in Columbus, who have supported their hometown club for more than two decades, and may soon lose their team.
#SaveTheCrew
The league should postpone any match after 90 min of weather delays.
Making fans wait for 2.5 hours before cancelling is a slap in the face. Fan interest in the NY market is tenuous as it is.
Do better,
@MLS

Can we please just have some stories on the tens of millions of everyday Americans who are taking anxiety medication to watch the freaking news.
#NYR
victory tonight is first playoff win for an NY area NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB team since
#Isles
beat Lightning in Game 6 of NHL semifinals on June 23, 2021.
To-do list for
#MLS
until 2026:
-Complete expansion phase
-"2 teams" for all MLS clubs
-Quality training centers for all MLS clubs
-Regional academies for all MLS clubs
-Commitment to playing young US/CAN players
-More transparency
-Higher minimum salaries
-Better TV times
The New York stadium isn't in New York.
The Dallas stadium isn't in Dallas.
The Boston stadium isn't in Boston.
The San Francisco stadium isn't in San Francisco.
None of the above matter to anyone, really.

Hi. Longtime American Soccer fan here. These arguments have been made since the 1970s. During the last WC, 20% of the US was following the tournament. That’s 65 million people. That’s... a lot of people.

Two groups of four
Top two in each group to Semis
Make it happen, Stilitano.

City won their cup by beating the SS winner after a 23-day layoff, then a Philly team missing nine starters.
City may win the CCL without facing a Liga MX side.
You can only face the teams put in front of you,
but just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Disagree. If we're to suffer from rising gas prices, threats of nuclear war from Russian government, the LEAST of reciprocal impacts from Kremlin is a suspension of international sports. They want to play? Protest their own government to stop this deadly land grab.
A decade ago, Toronto FC paid $10M as an expansion fee to join
#MLS
. Today, Atlanta is paying a $12M transfer fee to bring in a young Argentinean star.
While ATL may be the only club to make that kind of a move, it's a great indicator of how the league has grown.
FOURTEEN YEARS IN THE POSTSEASON FOR
#RBNY

What I want in 2018:
More soccer talk about matches, players, coaching and strategies.
What I don’t want in 2018:
More soccer talk about lawsuits and business models.
Can’t understate the damage that missing the World Cup has done to interest around the
#USMNT
.
It feels that US Men’s team fandom has snapped back to pre-1990 levels.
Nearly invisible.
Yes, these are the January camp games & there’s a long way to go... but WOOF.

Your soccer team's performance getting you down?
Take solace in the fact that life is abject chaos, there's a mass extinction going on and our elected officials believe our air is "too clean," and in six billion years the earth will be swallowed up by the sun.
Time for lunch.
“During today’s meeting, MLS Commissioner Don Garber made it clear to Mayor Cooper that Major League Soccer would not have awarded Nashville an expansion team without the commitment made by the city to build a soccer stadium at the Fairgrounds.”
Opening day is beyond hype!
INBOX: NYCFC to move to Staten Island's Richmond County Ballpark permanently starting in 2023. "Five Boroughs means FIVE boroughs, folks," said club President CEO Brad Sims, adding, "With a view of Manhattan's picturesque skyline, RCB is the perfect venue for us. Play Ball!"
IT’S SUNDAY MORNING IN GOD’S CITY AKA ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TODAY RED BULLS STILL PLAY IN A PART OF NEW JERSEY THAT’S EVEN LOOKED DOWN UPON BY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIVE *IN* NEW JERSEY
