Tried to write about David Lee’s 12 years at NYCFC

but I couldn’t - so I wrote about why I couldn’t

on corporatism, illusion, legacy, authenticity, burritos, and stingrays:

another great PT investigation into the ever growing money mill of anti-trans groups, and their explicit intention to use sports as a gateway towards erasing transpeople from everyday life

seems especially fitting to release on trans day of remembrance as well
PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union.

But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure.

Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year.

MLS executive who built a powerhouse faced allegations of sexist, racist and homophobic behavior
Philadelphia Union sporting director Ernst Tanner denies the allegations, which prompted a recently-concluded MLS investigation that could not corroborate them

the players union should include mandatory grass footing as part of their new CBA negotiations re: schedule change

unfortunately, the 'sprint season' is the perfect time the owners could eat a lockout, which is probably why MLS is full throated in the announcement before a new CBA

@thepressbox.bsky.social sounded like Bryan and David (especially David) were unaware of this 2021 Zohran fact during the latest ep (unless I missed something before):
The newly elected mayor of New Yorl, Zohran Mamdani, was live for Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson at AEW Grand Slam!

on one hand - 4.5m transfer for a 20yo mid-table Allsvenskan forward with these stats?

on the other - its Philly, they know better than me, he'll have double digit goals minimum next year for sure

this, like the Parks family helping their local food bank amidst SNAP cuts, are humanizing stories the club could share

Evander really is the Kawhi Leonard of MLS

“When you peek behind the curtain, you find another curtain. Bureaucracies excel at this, dispersing responsibility until it dissolves…Every player transfer becomes both his and not his, both brilliant and inevitable, until the very concept of accountability loses its significance.”
David Lee’s tenure as NYCFC sporting director is over. But how do you grade a guy when you don't even know what his job was? @treyfillmore.bsky.social explores this and why NYCFC needs to turn off the corporate autopilot.

just finished my article about the team being distant and needing to become more human, now time to check their website for any news I may have missed…
Probably a good idea to proof read your AI slop before posting it to your team's website.

Loved this one by @treyfillmore.bsky.social. A lot of my feelings of frustration about the direction of MLS and the sport in general, I felt in this one.
