Hosei Kijima recorded his first MLS assist this past weekend vs Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, but his rise has been about much more than his statistical tally.

My biggest issue with the Carli Lloyd stuff is that sports don't really matter in the big picture of life, but Trinity Rodman signing autographs and taking pictures in the face of a tough result is something that those young fans will always remember.

Idk, if my wife suffered a season ending injury that would also take her out of the pinnacle competition of her sport, I wouldn't be incredibly focused on game 12 of my 162 game season... especially if she was the entire reason I signed.
I’m sorry, but Dansby Swanson leaving a game early bc he says he hasn’t ate or slept in 2 days leading up to his wife’s surgery is absolutely wild.. it was a Patella tendon surgery.. like take a nap wake up fixed kinda surgery.. I can’t believe that’s a real story.

Players don't have oversight into how Fox Sports/Nike marketed the World Cup.

It goes beyond just 'being a contrarian' when you publicly support a politician trying to legislate against the LGBTQ+ people you share a media space with...
