Tomorrow is National Miners Day, which probably isn’t a big deal in your family, but it is in mine and I’m working tomorrow so we’re doing this tonight
The Labor Department barely acknowledges WHY December 6 is set aside, so I’m going to turn the mic over to my mom for a minute

berman saying this is a business not a charity is killing me like if you refuse to pay players their fair market value & keep artificially lowering wages the nwsl is literally going to become a charity for the owners themselves, making bank off of players being paid relative pennies

LOL, we’re giving a peace prize to someone in the process of literally committing war crimes. Kinda perfect.

We were told for so long that there shall be no politics in the football.
In fact, we were told that exactly by Gianni Infantino's predecessor.
And I am told on a regular basis by countless Philadelphians to stick to sports.
So, who's not sticking to sports these days.

There is a very serious point to be made here on a mere football organisation publicly pushing such politicised interpretations of global diplomatic deals and talks.

The World Cup should uplift workers, athletes, fans, and host communities — not put them at risk. There is still time for FIFA to honor its commitments and deliver a tournament rooted in dignity, transparency, and #HumanRights.

Reminder that if you’re watching this 2026 World Cup Draw, you’re supporting the corrupt actions of FIFA, their “peace prize” to assholeinchief, and giving viewer/ratings to this bullshit.
You’ll get the FotMob/Flashscore alerts when it happens or can follow someone with more dignity on bsky.

To report on the world cup draw without mentioning the way this pageantry is being used to toady up to a man who is disappearing people across the country - and who has refused to say he won't send ICE against world cup attendees - is to miss the most important part of the story.
We’re outside the Kennedy Center today where Donald Trump is attending the World Cup draw. The World Cup is a chance for the world to come together but this president is a leader who represents nothing but division, greed, and cruelty.

NO PEACE PRIZE FOR TRUMP’S LIES.
As part of today’s draw FIFA is awarding a Peace Prize to a president who is disappearing neighbors and occupying our cities.
That has no place in the Beautiful Game and no place here in DC.

Watching the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center (stolen by Trump from American taxpayers for FIFA's use at no cost,) and they're opening with Andrea Bocelli performing "Nessun Dorma" ...
... which has long been a Trump rally staple and a personal favorite of the president.

Please find out how to volunteer with local organizations trying to limit the considerable damage this World Cup will do. Work to help protect people. Donate to mutual aids that are doing what they can.
They're going to put on a 2 hour propaganda draw today, maybe spend your time helping instead.

On the day of the World Cup draw, I beg people to consider the harm the tournament is going to do to so many people. The most vulnerable people in the host cities are going to suffer so much just because of some soccer, FIFA money laundering and Trump mugging for the camera.

To the soccer fans/journos in DC for the World Cup draw:
For months we've walked past armed guards to get to soccer games. Meanwhile ICE has stolen hundreds of our neighbors. All on the orders of Trump, who's honored today.
Both the beautiful game, and our beautiful city, deserve better.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

If you go to an NWSL game, you will see a lot of USWNT jerseys with the home *and away* team player names on them
The entire league will pay the price for losing the top name players. Look at last year's top 5. Lost 1 to retirement, lost 1 to the salary cap, and looking to lose another? Seems dumb!

nwsl owners do not want to have the best league in the world, they want widespread mediocrity that they can position as 'parity' and 'the most competitive league.' it's literally the nfl model attempted in a sport with a global market that can and will leave the nwsl behind.

Things I did not like: dozens of National Guard with giant guns standing around outside.
