If you’re an active soccer fan in the US, now is the time to find a local club and support them. Don’t give you money, labor or attention to this league. They would trade 100 supporters for one suburban family just like they traded the US Open Cup for Leagues Cup.
NEW: On Friday afternoon, #MLS announced that it will have its Next Pro developmental teams participate in the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup instead of its first teams.
The league will reassess participation for future iterations next winter. Report: theathletic.com/5141003/2023…

Just another example of MLS having to be different than any other major league in the world. Instead of getting closer to how soccer is around the world they just continue to the beat of the own drum. Perfect reason why many do not take the league seriously.

I get a lot of fans of MLS teams & people who work in MLS don’t think this is a big deal.
But for those of us who’ve toiled, either working in the lower divisions, or covering the lower divisions ( in my case both), I can’t quantify how disrespected I feel
for everything I and those around me put into this game domestically the last 20 years or so.
Think about how mid major colleges are treated in college sports. Think about what happened to Florida State just two weeks ago in terms of college football. That’s now soccer in America permanently.
Think about the elitism involved in saying we’re too good for a tournament that promotes grassroots soccer and is an open competition.
MLS decision flies in the face of everything this game stands for . This is an OPEN game. This game is about building community and teams- it’s about competition. It’s about rivalries. It’s about relationships.
MLS has just said none of that matters to us unless it’s on our terms.

Well, Lamar Hunt should be rolling in his grave...and every other American soccer leader who has worked to grow the game & this great tournament. Fans can help stop this w/their wallet. Boycott MLS until they return to the best and oldest tournament in American soccer. RT please.

Saturday was a great experience. The Rialto Theater was buzzing with activity staging live music for Little Raleigh Radio’s Day Party, AKA the Hopscotch Jazz Showcase. How we have missed this!

What do the top 23 FIFA men's national teams in the Elo Rankings all have in common?
Do they all have an open pyramid with promotion and relegation?

Retweet if you believe the @MLS version of #USMNT should be cancelled permanently.

After learning today that Trump had 43 EMPTY folders in his office that should have contained classified documents, the FBI and DHS are now searching, and seizing boxes from, the NY and FLA properties of Russian oligarch Victor Vekselberg. Coincidence? – at Leesburg, VA

I have breathed in burning bodies, I been around vehicles destroyed with depleted uranium, I have burned shit and have been around burn pits throughout years of combat. The Senate couldn’t even get 60 votes to expand VA benefits for veterans exposed to toxins. 42 GOP VOTED NO!

“Our research suggests that Trump appeals more to men who are secretly insecure about their manhood.”

Do we really want Department of Justice not to prosecute a politician who deserves it just because someone suspects indictment might cause divisions in our society?
It's not Attorney General's job to play political forecaster -- just to pursue justice, which is difficult enough.
