The D.E.I. Hashira

Interesting idea.

Considering the success of Anders Dreyer and Evander who came from a Scandinavian league, Major League Soccer needs to raid the top flight of Norway after the roster rules changes and calendar alignment. A good chunk of the Bodo/Glimt team should be playing state side next year if they're interested

Three for Three Three games, three red cards, and Keaton Parks with a new job description.

There is more to unpack from NYCFC's 5-0 win over Orlando than just bidding adieu to Óscar Pareja.

@kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc looks at the analytics of red cards & how Pascal Jansen pushing Keaton Parks forward could solve problems for the strikerless Pigeons:

The people under him may fair differently in a case by case basis but none who had real people will serve significant jail time. The corruption was clear, well documented and done by egomaniacal idiots but consequences will still be rare if any.

I'm not being cynical, nihilistic, or pessimistic when I say...nothing will happen. Corruption isn't a party-specific issue, and what Trump has demonstrated is that as long as you control the system, you will be fine. Oligarchs rarely unlearn that history. Eric Adams will never see jail, for example

I don't know, man. Not saying he can't do it, but I really need him to have a full off-season to implement his system wherever he lands to maximize his odds of success.

Does the new housing going up and commercial development being built with the stadium have an argument for a Ferry instead of just LIRR and the Subway taking all the high capacity travel?

Happy for him. Shows that the CFG scouting wasn't wrong, but I guess MLS was too high a level? Dude could be playing continental soccer in Europe, but was struggling on a Wednesday night in Philly. Wild. Always respected his work rate, though.

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

Smh.

Philly and Cincy have been underwhelming in league play.

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

As all incentives to move to electric vehicles and improve electric capacity for average consumers have been under sustained attack for over a year.

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

📌 The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate “Armageddon.”

Update: Just saw the highlights of their first game. I am not sure whether some of these brands sponsor their teams or just the stadium they play in, which I believe is owned by the city, but Nathan's and Brooklyn Brewery were represented.

I see that the Derby in Scotland had a violent pitch invasion. Smh. All they had to do was embrace Nancy Ball, and all would've been right in society.

It's so completely irrational and completely not self-aware, though, at this point, this is the nature of discourse. Ugh.

I have also noted that the insistence that MLS is a pyramid scheme has disappeared from their discourse, with the light now shining on USL's financials and structure.

If Brooklyn FC manages to survive the USL growing pains, I demand it secure some true Made In Brooklyn originals. Nathan's Hotdogs, Brooklyn Brewery and Tower Isles Beef Patties.

As a US Soccer fan, the Red Bull youth playing well bodes well for the future of the USMNT and as an NYCFC fan, them playing poorly bodes well for my general viewing pleasure and tribal hatred.

We know who. She knows who. Her mild inconvenience will be her example of discrimination for the rest of her life whenever anything close to the topic comes up.

The Hudson River Derby can add this to its illustrious sponsors with Dude Wipes.

Dope.

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.
