I'll close by saying keep up the pressure. My rep said that they're getting hammered by other season ticket holders and the club may need to make a decision or statement soon.

Pressure works, we know it works, & you should keep going. The season starts in 6 days. Email your reps and let them know.

You simply cannot be a welcoming or inclusive space if you exclude messages that make people feel seen, welcome, or included. Especially so if you're ok with profiting off those identities. Full stop.

I'm a mid-40s cishet white guy that sits across the pitch from the supporters section. Keep going.

Next, the trans pride flags. 🏳️‍⚧️

I noted again that the club is taking a very hypocritical stance, given that they sell LOVE UNITES kits every year that players wear in pre-game warm-ups (ok, not every player does and believe me, I notice).

Outside of Energizer Park, the club has an art installation titled "Pillars of the Valley," which stands as a tribute to the predominantly Black Mill Creek Valley neighborhood that St. Louis City (the city, not club) deemed blighted and demolished in 1959.

And they aren't letting in BLM flags. 🥴

First, on the BLM flags.

I explained how, from the outside, this looks like a very hypocritical move from the club, given that they just launched a gold secondary kit honoring Tina Turner, a black woman with ties to St. Louis.

It looks an awful lot like blacksploitation from the outside.

The wild thing is that Busdriver said all of those words in 45 seconds.

More or less just ”it” happening

Let me know if you want help with getting all of your mail stuff set up on Ghost / want to self-host the software on your own stack with domain. I’ve done it a few times, most recently with @gatewayfootballgroup.org and our 4th div. club.

The Rock drip had me on one lol

I think just being a run of the mill Democrat may be enough in a turnout election.

We had Ray Hartmann’s vanity campaign in 2024 and he got smoked. I hope Wellman can fare better - Ann’s helmet hair has gotta go.

Especially since Wesley sucks so bad. They'll probably need to spend at least $10M just to overcome his reputation with motivated voters.

(We got drawn into Ann Wagner's MO-02, so I wasn't able to vote for Cori)

Anyway, this is why I like to work from home whenever I'm able. I don't have access to my records or turntable.

Do you have a good strychnine supplier?

We can finally turn the page on the 1904 Olympics chaos!

$521K so all of my sports broadcasts are constantly pumping 5 leg parlays and odds at every commercial break. 🤮

I have always loved The Critic
