Good for USL League One to have three matches on Sunday and space out the time slots so you can watch each one.

I saw more Shea Butter merch at the game last night than Unwell stuff so feels like maybe the league should listen to the fans on this one

As we near Pride month, I'd like folks to consider no longer saying, "Soccer is for everyone." Soccer is not & should not ever be for bigots. ⚽️

This early heatwave in KC prompted me to break out my @sheabutterfc.com t-shirt that I ordered in a shade of Extra Gay. Love y'all ⚽️

My latest newsletter takes a deep dive into Alex Cooper and her continued affiliation with Barstool Sports, and why that makes a partnership with the NWSL especially ill-advised for a league attempting to re-brand after multiple sexual and workplace abuse scandals.

Yes, I get that there's a stars jersey & a stripes jersey, but that doesn't mean they have to be dull, & it definitely doesn't mean naming a jersey composed of flat lines the "Heartbeat" kit is a good idea

Players on the field had to watch King taken away by ambulance w no idea as to her condition. To expect players to continue playing seems cruel to me

Thinking about how the Pope is going to vote for President in 2028, same as I will, and my vote will count the same as the Pope’s. Yours will too. It’s so weird.

Anyone collapsing at a soccer match scares the daylights out of me for reasons you can probably imagine. I'm grateful Savy King received swift attention & is receiving treatment; she's in my thoughts. I think the protocol needs to be reassessed asap.

I've really disliked the last 2 episodes of Hacks, & that's bothering me. Something's felt off, the writing hasn't felt as sharp as the show's made me come to expect (we all knew a dog was going to get it from a wolf; Ava's situational lack of self-awareness has become stupid).

Try your best to transcend the worst truths about your generation. Treat all service workers with the kindness & dignity they deserve. Support the humanities.

"Stay with me here" was the tell for me that she knows what an awful decision this is. How it got past the biz-pitch stage is what worries me. Zero chance CPKC gives this dud "their own section" unless it's in the river. This is embarrassing
