Vox reached out to us about this last year, and we recommended some people to speak to, but we were wary of a US soccer story that begins in the familiar post-NASL rubble—the Garber/Gulati/Lalas “that was chapter one” narrative.
Which is why we do our own stuff 🤷🏻♂️ But looking forward to watching.
Apologies if everyone already knew this about Umbro.
We spent weeks researching a USL episode and he just…skeeted it out.
If you’re following the USLPA labor dispute or interested in the growth of US pro soccer, this is another essential @jeffrueter.bsky.social read.
Before we started Season 2 of AN AMERICAN GAME, a few listeners suggested we make the show less "political."
We said no. pod.link/1826903443?v...
Hey we’re also a Staff Favorite on Castbox 🎉
@mkickaround.bsky.social puts in another strong shift
🙏 Thanks, Patrick.
Great listen. Not easy putting together such a thorough and well rounded description of the history and present of USL but Kirk Rudell and Tom McCabe of An American Game did it. 👏 open.spotify.com/episode/1Yyz...
The league could also just…negotiate in good faith and provide a minimum standard of living and health insurance, but they’d rather follow the standard anti-union playbook. Sad.

USL is currently making MLS look good rather than challenging it as an alternative professional soccer league.

While USL's origins were grassroots (actually, indoor roller-rink roots in the Southwest), MLS was an NFL league. It was the in the American tradition of wealthy team owners looking for ways to monetize their stadiums in the offseason. pod.link/1826903443/e...
Tom is an elite scholar of soccer history. Kirk is not.
Isn’t going to Trump’s White House part of Messi’s Saudi tourism contract?
With the USL on the brink of a players’ strike, we look at the past, present, and uncertain future of “the most American pro soccer league”…for better and for worse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

And we'll be on @mkickaround.bsky.social to talk about it this Wednesday morning. Oh crap, that's East Coast time. One of us will be very tired--no telling what we'll say about Alexi Lalas.
