"In the interests of justice"
We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

This story is a wonderful antidote to all the crap in the news and worth your time!
This is a fabulous story about a Philadelphia trans icon "Harlow" who is speaking out now to remind people that trans people have always been here, and shouldn't have to live in the shadows. Gifted.

Harlow's still here
Fifty years ago, Harlow was the queen of Philadelphia nightlife, Jack Kelly’s girlfriend, and the city's most famous transgender woman. Today, she’s ready to tell her story.

FIFA Piece Prize, symbolizing the grasping hands of this rotten organization all clawing for a piece of the world. Fitting, really.

Watching the presidents of the host countries all "randomly" drawing their own countries must be FIFA's way of showing us how easily the draw can be rigged

I'll just point out that Portland outranks our neighbor to the north as a women's SOCCER city due to the Thorns drawing greater than 2× the Reign in average attendance #BAONPDX
Is the Bay Area in California the greatest women’s sports city in the United States?

Our staff thinks so.

Surely 3-0 is even dangerouser
2-0 is the most dangerous lead in football. #rctid

We decided to simplify this a little:

Come on cleats up
Come on let's win
You ain't seen nothing like the mighty Finn

#RCTID
Ok, a new one just popped into my head to the tune of Quinn the Eskimo:

When Finn the Kiwi gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy
Come on without
Come on within
You've not seen nothing like the mighty Finn
#RCTID #FinnSurman

All I know is every time I think of @Carmax now, I'm going to remember that I missed seeing that goal because of their commercial #ACFCvKC
