Readers still want thoughtful, deeply-reported features, not clickbait slop.
What unpopular opinion can put you in this position??
I doubt Lesesne’s stay at DC will be held against him in the long run - he had impressed before arriving and he’d hardly be the first coach to thrive after departure.
Why did they hire him in the first place, or even bother keeping him, was it just that he was willing to coach the USL team because he did that already in Harrison?
Different playoff format???? Again???? FFS I’m getting whiplash at this point.
MLS commissioner Don Garber on potential calendar change to align with European calendar: “We believe that alignment is something that makes sense” but no announcement today. Garber adds roster rules under discussion, as is different playoff format and more.
They said the thing @MLSist

Unemployed which means I’m about 30 minutes into a chat with the @SJEarthquakes ChatBot. It’s not going well.
Dying at this text from my ex-gf, who witnessed me cover DC for a decade
Great, simple concept & execution & their best kit in years. Shame the sponsor logo on the butt has to detract from it.

counterpoint: this is strangely beautiful and i fuck with it (and have always fucked with his music)
I think the Orioles have officially hit rock bottom
Listening to a podcast about the Ruby Ridge standoff and it opened with “the first sign of trouble was when the Weaver’s dog, STRIKER, started barking.” My American soccer conspiracy theories deepen.
Drunk on an airplane and howling at “ankara.” Admin did their semester abroad in Madrid I guess, not Catalunya. 😂
