Raffling off a couple of #Crew96 tickets to tonight's home opener. Support independent, local, Disrespected media. #ImCheap

During #SaveTheCrew I used to watch this on every match day.

ICYMI: The USL emailed every Championship player an FAQ doc that included guidance on “crossing a picket line” and “Union membership resignation.”

An active player said teammates couldn’t find it until they checked spam. “I just think it’s a bunch of bullshit.”

Bring back Viernes de Fútbol, man. Two standalone MLS games every Friday night, one at 7:30 and one at 10.

Fuck it, let’s watch the random Crew video thing.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Huge respect to USL players seeking a CBA that provides for protections (like health insurance) that should have been in place decades ago.

Not sure the in-stadium DJ in Lexington got the message.

The commentary not explaining why they are doing this seems really strange. But this is what happens when leagues run the broadcasts.

I will always repost Tracy Chapman.

"Why do you want to have a 1970s music pavilion at the Shakespeare festival?"

"It features wine made by the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party!"

"But how does that make it anything to do with Shakespeare?"

"Mao is the vintner of our disco tent!"

[Exit, pursued by a bear]

I know Mike’s hands are tied but silence on the broadcast regarding why this is taking place is *ruff stuff*

Hell yeah

all solidarity to USLC players right now

California colleges spend millions on faulty AI chatbots Community colleges are spending millions on AI chatbots that students say often give inaccurate answers. Many might see upgrades soon.

Chatbots are bad service, whether they derive from AI or not.

Patrons don't like them.

Libraries shouldn't use them.

Could Columbus be the destination for NWSL's next expansion team?

“Speaking with The Athletic on background, a league source with knowledge of Columbus’ expansion efforts said, if all goes accordingly, the NWSL team would coexist with the Crew as a distinct entity”

#NWSL #Crew96

MLS & Inter Miami's unwillingness to stand for something (and that's the best-case scenario here) means they're props for literal death threats.

Not surprised, as the league has generally preferred to avoid any kind of stance about any moral issue, but this is what you get for not standing up.

Most of the crossover of #Crew96 fans on here probably already know, but just in case:

UPDATE: The USL Players Association posted its full statement on Instagram regarding the league's email to players.

"If anything, this kind of pressure campaign only reinforces why players voted to provide strike authorization in the first place."

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

It’s 2026. The World Cup is in North America. The top flight league has so drastically cut its own media presence and has a fully paywalled broadcast that’s effectively made it invisible to casual soccer fans. Second tier league is openly trying to bust a union.

Read this article.
Stand with the players.

This is gross, even by sports labor dispute standards. It goes without saying, but if USL does try to bring in scabs, don't watch and don't attend.

I loved this show very very much a long time ago

it is long past time to let it (and certainly Whedon and Baldwin) fade away

A real President:

Fascinated by how little the 2026 WC has changed the soccer media landscape in the US. Was always talked about as a crucial, job-creating moment — nobody out there is hiring, and even the friggin rights holder to the World Cup is making freelance hires instead of full-time ones.
