A school like JMU making the tournament is what people should want and why you have an expanded tournament. SEC brain is ruining college football

As for the Washington Spirit ... hard not to look back at Adrian Gonzalez's decision to leave Hal Hershfelt on the field and feel like that was a mistake. It was hard to watch her return to the field in visible pain.

USMNT is beating Uruguay 4-0 in the first half.
With a lineup that is missing Pulisic, Adams, Richards, A. Robinson, McKennie, Weah, Reyna, Balogun, M. Tillman and more.
Unreal.

HT: #usmnt 4-1 Uruguay. Yes, you read that correctly. The U.S. were dominant on set pieces, but also impressive from open play, as witnessed by Luna's goal. Things got a little sloppy towards the end, so some things to clean up, but stellar half from the U.S.

you don't even have to look at it strategically! people will straight up stop coming to places if there's nothing else there but a strident requirement to stare hard into the abyss at all times
Well-meaning folks on Bluesky who dismiss sportsball as some kind of distraction to What Matters Now are missing a key point in creating an alternative to X: Sports for better or worse dominates American culture. You ignore enormous swaths of potential allies when you dismiss sports.
Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

The USMNT is a mess. That's the price of the U.S. becoming a 'soccer country'
The more the U.S. cares about soccer and produces better players, the more dysfunctional the USMNT becomes. That's just how it is.

Pregame reminder to all the doomers out there that Switzerland is stacked and fielding a lineup that has 8/11 players coming off 2000+ minute seasons in top 5 leagues. #USMNT
Soccer is fun, international games are rare, enjoy the game!

A reminder that I’m on the job hunt. If you’re looking for a versatile and meticulous reporter, critic, and editor with a decade of experience, get in touch. I also teach journalism + mentor students and early-career journalists, so I’m interested in those kinds of roles as well.
