Interesting. I wonder if we will see the Seattle teams follow suite after this is done.

"When authorities start treating political beliefs like security threats, it sends a loud, chilling message to anyone expressing themselves online"

@empiregass.bsky.social thank you for being brave enough to say what you said on your show today. It’s really important that people don’t let the facade of “apolitical subjects” be a cover for not talking about the reality of what’s going on, especially when it is so relevant.

Houston Dynamo FC 1-3 Seattle Sounders FC Passes per shot: HOU 5.2-9.4 SEA Avg Progression to shot (m): HOU 23.3-20.9 SEA Shots: HOU 15-14 SEA xG: HOU 0.98-1.5 SEA xG (open play): HOU 0.41-1.33 SEA xG (dead ball): HOU 0.57-0.17 SEA #MLS #HOUvSEA #HoldItDown #Sounders

I’ve been tracking this stat for most of the year and sort of waiting for it to equalize but here we are in Week 12 and who leads MLS in attacking-third tackles? The Sounders.

If only there was evidence from virtually every other mls cup winner that you don’t in fact have to blow up your roster the next year… Is roster building a challenge in mls? Sure. But we don’t have to act like this kind of disaster is normal. It’s literally unprecedented in fact!

In no way should a U.S. Citizen be detained, anywhere, because of their protected speech (and neither should a non-citizen, to be clear). To do so is to violate an oath to the Constitution and the rule of law. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike... ( @taylorlorenz.bsky.social )

Apparently Stancil has shooters and I was laid off so I’m starting a Patreon at least until I can find another job. Feel free to support if you can. Or don’t. We’ll still be here. www.patreon.com/TheLouvreofB...

Day after Sounders thoughts. Almost 2 years of lacking wide creation seems to be over. All 4 wingers who saw the field were dangerous and effective. The biggest attacking issue looks to be fixed. Rusnak in particular is benefiting from the service and options. This was fun, and things look up.

Georgi buddy. Go down there and you probably get the pk.

Less than 2 full 90’s and the biggest order of business for Craig Waibel is getting Kent signed to a long term extension.

INSTANT IMPACT PEDRO. Assist to Albert Rusnák.

Such a pretty goal and assist.

At the Nashville SC game, a giant flag for La Brigada de Oro, the Latino supporters section, which is not here tonight due to ICE activity. NSC officials tried to remove it, but were met with vehement objections by supporters clubs, who threatened a giant walkout if they did.

Is the Moose now too loose?

Occasionally I run into "is it safe to take the light rail in Seattle, I want to go to Pike Place but I'm so scared" type posts on Reddit, usually from would-be tourists, and I am rendered temporarily speechless. This is a safe and fairly bougie city. Rightwing media must really be working overtime

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters chant “Free our Mayor!” outside the DHS building in Newark, NJ where Mayor Ras Baraka is being held (Video: @spydermonkeywatch.bsky.social)

So glad Biden expanded ICE's budget, and made sure the DOJ worked as slow as possible to avoid 'looking like lawfare' when they went after Trump. Amazing work guys, bravo.

Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now. Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?" Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

NEW: Nearly 200 Overwatch 2 devs have unionized at Blizzard. It's the second wall-to-wall union at the studio after the World of Warcraft team did the same last year. Organizing members tell Kotaku the mass layoffs last year by Microsoft was one of the catalysts, alongside pay and RTO policies.

There are legitimate issues with the pharmaceutical industry and how it's regulated; the wellness industry is even more predatory, like it's not even close. Woo woo bullshit on par with leeches and humors

Arman dropping another great cap analysis, this time how the Galaxy should handle the long term absence of their best player. The man is doing gods work and yall should read it.

@nosaudietis.sounderatheart.com had a great discussion u22 signings. I think it’s worth mentioning is that SEA has 19/20 sr. roster spots filled, and a need to resign Obed and Baker-Whiting, very soon in RBW’s case. Using a sr. spot on a speculative signing is an underrated issue with u22’s.
