I think @benwright.bsky.social has a local MLS coverage starter pack? I don’t want to just start listing folks b/c I’m afraid to leave someone out.
For USL, start with @njemurray.bsky.social & @usltactics.com and go in whatever direction they point you.

Do you have a good 'list' of the local people you follow for specific clubs/regions? I follow Greder and Marthaler for the Loons, but it's easy for substacks/blogs to slip under the radar, especially for USL stuff, which I'm just getting into. An archive of peeps of some sort would be helpful.
This was incredibly kind of Matt - @usltactics.com is much smarter than a yutz like me - so with much trepidation I've attempted to put together a starter pack of folks you can follow around the #USL ecosystem.
Let me know if you'd like to be added?

I'm very grateful for all of the local and national media outlets that cover the #USL ecosystem, and the people who read and tune into their work.
If there's one thing social media has given me, it's a connection to so many people who do great work year-round telling the stories that exist here.
