If you’re gonna be a toady that has so little self-respect that you must wear the style of
shoes your boss wants you to wear, you might as well go full-toady and swim in those oversized babies he gave you.

Congrats to Max on making the first USL Championship

Gimme this in old school PES
It’s so damn accurate. Nuts.
Oooooooh
It’s nuts that this racing sim render of Al Lang Stadium is a better rendition than we could ever hope of having for it in a soccer video game. It’s amazingly detailed.
That jacket. That jacket is good.

The render of Al Lang in iRacing’s newest St Petersburg track had been teased previously but it is absolutely glorious. Look at that
The #USL and USLPA spoke via conference call today to plot a path forward on CBA negotiations . Full bargaining session scheduled for Wednesday.
NEW: The USL has enjoyed a decade of dominating the lower league landscape. Since 2015, 20 of its independent clubs have folded - the latest just two weeks before the 2026 season.
Is the USL’s structure built to handle even more jeopardy with pro/rel? www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Terrible look for the US.

(I actually put more spaces in between his name in my post and Bluesky deleted them, but that line spacing is nuts.)
The stretch. (Just that entire overlay is wild). The “Wine Mom” HomeGoods sign font for ‘Welcome’ in the corner. And then there’s:

Just won $10 on Polymarket betting on MLS suspending a player for life for betting.
A reminder …
I don’t know exactly how to articulate why, but this graphic is unhinged.
At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.
They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.
As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.
#StandUpForStandards
The Paralympics really kick ass man. Like, Downhill Vision Impaired Skiing following a guide with your senses and memory? Are you kidding me. This is fucking sports.
Players of Brooklyn FC and Indy Eleven stand still for the first minute of their game to highlight ongoing CBA negotiations with USL and requests for fairer working conditions. Fans of both teams chant "stand with players".
Brest up a pair again.
Players from Lexington SC and Louisville City FC stood still for the first minute of their season-opening USL Championship match.
Your first XI of 2026 🟢🟡
🔰 #BHMvTBR | #COYR
Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards
The town of Foxboro isn't backing down. New statement (first saw this posted by @adamcrafton.bsky.social in the bad place).
I’d bet there’s a lot of cutaways. It will be interesting to see how much the players or fans can put it on display.
I mean, it's an internal broadcast, they're definitely not going to mention it. They probably would be advised by lawyers to not do so. If it were produced indpendently by a media partner, whole other story.
