I don’t even feel like taking my ‘74 classic out most of the time bc it takes so much work just to get it warmed up.

I think MLS teams can compete with the Premiership which is more top heavy. Not saying they would win more or even half but they’d give them a decent run for their money.
Can MLS teams compete with sides from top European leagues? @ColoradoRapids midfielder @colebassett19 says the level closer than a lot of people think.
He joins the latest UP Pod to discuss the #Rapids96 2024 turnaround and more!

There are two types of men in this world. Those who honor their debts and those who do not. So in actuality, there’s only one type of men.

I remember when you could roast someone as being old saying that they watch The Golden Girls. Now you’re basically roasting yourself if you use that show as a reference 😭

Best case scenario: Threads blows up and users celebrate wildly. Then it merges with Twitter and puts the liberals back with the conservatives again 👌🏻😂

I’m gonna PASS on Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass. Messi has enough money already…he doesn’t need another 14.99/month from me 😭
How did MLS & Inter Miami land Lionel Messi?
He's set to receive a MASSIVE compensation package that includes a share of Apple's revenue generated by MLS Season Pass and also a share of Adidas profits from his MLS arrival.
That's absolutely insane 🤯

It's embarrassing how little money and prestige the CONCACAF Champions League currently has....wishing that changes soon.
With less history, pedigree, and prize money than its European and South American counterparts, the CONCACAF Champions League has been more or less irrelevant over the years.
@john_jay_lee on why that needs to change, and soon:

I'm really invested in seeing who is going to cave in first. I'm hoping it's the Galaxy FO bc I really do believe the loyal fans deserve better.
Galaxy supporters groups have united in their call to boycott matches in 2023. The only question is who budges first — fans or the front office?

Potentially huge payouts for student athletes…but not for soccer players though.
While the NCAA NIL policy has forever changed amateur athletics across the country, soccer players looking to earn big bucks may instead find themselves fighting for scraps.

I know most people see the Washington Spirit drama as a black eye for the league but I believe what's come out of it is actually more significant than the historic CBA that was just announced by the NWSL.
The highly publicized turmoil within the Washington Spirit organization is not a good look for the league...but could it benefit NWSL players down the road?

Asian people problems:
I try to be friendly and smile at strangers. But when they’re wearing masks I honestly can’t tell if they’re smiling back or just making fun of me.
I don't know how this was allowed to go on for nearly 20 years..
At best an uncomfortable ethical issue and at worst a deliberate union of mutual self interests, the agreement between the USSF & MLS-owned Soccer United Marketing is ending this year.

It’s time for a serious revamp of the DP Rule @MLS
Though it was once revolutionary, MLS’s Designated Player rule has become outdated and no longer serves the current needs of teams across the league.
