Soccer and the law. Both thrill & frustrate me equally.

Did the Club World Cup matter? Empty seats and hot days offer warnings on FIFA's challenges ahead of 2026 Were the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup's obstacles natural adversity or manufactured problems?

after four weeks and 60-plus games, the first edition of the new-look Club World Cup has come to a close β€” but did it really matter?

turns out, that’s a complex question to answer (but I took a stab at it anyway)

I know sports teams are not meant to be a societal moral compass but Arsenal's choice to back Thomas Partey -- and Mikel Arteta's public advocacy for him -- is as clear a sign as any that people at the highest levels of this sport are still unwilling to take gendered violence seriously

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will β€œown them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborerβ€”or we could just let them say it.

remembering how, a year ago, Diego Luna declined a spot as an alternate on the Olympics roster, said he’s open to playing for Mexico and basically did this meme to the #USMNT β€” and it worked!

While concerns about the weather are legitimate, it's these kinds of details that should really worry everyone about the World Cup next year. Having to walk 2 miles to the rideshare lot is absolutely nuts!

β€œNo right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Fluminense fans were out in full force on my way into MetLife Stadium, so much so that I saw a couple plot a quick exit from the train so they wouldn’t get caught in the crowd when they got off the train

In Florida, β€œfree speech” and β€œinstitutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with β€œrace” in the title is censored for violated the law.

Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

a former Cuomo staffer -- a Black woman -- said:

How extreme weather at Club World Cup is forcing teams to gameplan for more than just their opponents Both managers adjusted their tactics during Palmeiras' 2-0 win over Al Ahly to account for the heat and weather delay

temperatures will be at least 80F at kickoff of each of the Club World Cup games today, forcing teams this year (& next) to battle the elements as much as their opponents

Palmeiras and Al Ahly went through it all yesterday β€” here’s how it impacted tactical plans

β€œIf ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.
