This was actually pretty rad. @goballardfc.bsky.social is owned by former Sounder Lamar Neagle and was couched by former Sounder James Riley.

It is freaking cool as hell for a neighborhood USL2 player to win a game for the @soundersfc.com.

Morris and de la Vega are out for Musovski and Kingston, who is making his MLS debut. He’s the first Ballard FC alum to play for the Sounders.

massive news as the manager I consider the best in the business is placed on leave.

A reminder that I witnessed this last Saturday after the match on the pitch . Not sure if this is related

so one of the things that I have to take from the Pam Bondi hearring also that I didn’t mention on here is that the low caliber of members of the Senate is part of the problem. Including the Democrats. That never would flown in a Senate hearing in 2005. She would have been torn apart.

The narrative has been about how Loomer
has influence over Trump, which is a terrible thing we all admit, but no one in the mainstream press is talking actually very about why she takes shots at people and what the actual motivation is. It’s not the interest of the US but of a foreign government.

Kartik Krishnaiyer @kkfla737.bsky.social · 6d

I meant to comment on this at the time, but Laura Loomer started calling Marjorie Taylor Greene “Traitor Greene” a while back. What was her rationale? MTG was criticizing Israel. So Loomer was putting foreign interests over US interests.

Yet the mainstream media totally missed (or excused) this.

with USL ambitions on full display it’s time we had a real conversation about the structure of the league and how in many ways it’s worse for club investors than MLS is. In some ways it’s better though…

yep, we need them both here- but sadly, I think most prominent Americans in sports don’t think like those two guys. They have theirs and they don’t care about anyone else.
