I still get my favorite part though the “wait that’s not structurally sound” investigation
Just feels like if no progress is being made you have to strike now or you’re signaling the status quo is fine. Call their bluff on the scabs.
We love USL soccer, but we support the welfare and livelihood of USL players more.
Those blue no matter who people were awful quiet when Mamdani got the NYC nomination too
Inspired in part by @rodger.bsky.social:
Cricket's halls of power full of awful people and systems that want to convince us that they are the only way forward, eager to shape the game for their own wealth/status/ideology. But they only win if we let them make us miserable.

It’s just because they bought poppi

My look at this morning's cross-country skiing - a big day for the USA. paralympicsportsnews.wordpress.com/2026/03/11/u...
A well managed house sees Latvia take bronze as the Americans just kiss the wide stone.
They’ll probably just give it to Italy when they fuck up the playoffs
All those options are having same issue Iran is having. UAE is next in line after Iraq anyway
China claims the first ever gold medal in wheelchair curling mixed doubles, winning in the extra end 9-7, silver for Korea. Bronze extra end still going
China don't get enough on the final stone and the inaugural mixed doubles wheelchair curling goes to an extra end
We've seen similar statements before and FIFA was like "well that's not the football federation" but the irony is that the team that would take their spot, Iraq, are currently struggling to get to the Playoff so may also have issues, UAE is next in the list, so I wonder what FIFA will do
Great work on the powerplay for Korea and it's 7-6 to China heading to the final end
Second straight end scored for Korea and they cut the gap to two, China opt for the powerplay in the sixth.
Your update from the bronze game: Latvia 6 USA 5
Korea under pressure and will take a single making it 5-2 at the break.
It's a double in the third for China and it's 5-1, look this is doubles so not unassailable but also it's China
Especially wild since Italy and Mexico can now guarantee the USA is out. Don't think it'll be so hated as the "disgrace of Gijon" is
After an initial scoreboard malfunction, the correct one goes on the board it's China 3 Korea 0 after one in the mixed doubles gold medal game

I'm too busy with all the recaps but these are the real stories that people want to know about, so I'm glad Sarah is doing the work.
My look at the alpine combined this morning - the favorites just keep rolling. paralympicsportsnews.wordpress.com/2026/03/10/f...
To be fair, 10% was in that one game
Brilliant as always from Kartik
Seeing lots of content about the USL's structure and people questioning if it's really best for the sport/league. I'm glad these questions are being asked. I'll refrain from saying more as I like not being sued.
Korea have been absolute thieves in this Mixed Doubles tournament and it's continued here. It's why they're 6-2 up against the USA
I had a COACH email me when I was working at USL HQ with that question. It was because the headline was "team x thrashed 5-0" he objected to being thrashed - you lost 5-0 my man
