K. Smith,[16][17] and Charles Lindbergh became leaders for "America First" causes.[18] Hmmm...

It's not unreasonable to make the assumption that a credit union called America First founded in the thirties that originally had a different name is signalling some racist poo poo, but it might also not be a dog whistle. From their history section on Wikipedia: quote:In 1939, at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, Utah, 59 members of the National Federation of Federal Employees, Local No. 650, instituted the Fort Douglas Civilian Employees Credit Union. On June 23, 1947, the finance office of the U.S. Army at Fort Douglas was moved to the Utah General Distribution Depot in Ogden, Utah, and the credit union moved with it and renamed itself Federal Employees Credit Union. In 1960, with the addition of the Naval Supply Depot in Clearfield, Utah, the credit union was now affiliated with five Federal Government installations, the others being the Utah General Depot, Hill Air Force Base, Fort Douglas and the Internal Revenue Service Building in Ogden, Utah. Utah-chartered credit unions began serving anyone in the state and the credit union changed its name to America First Credit Union in 1984.

Columbus @ Orlando (FS1) and Portland @ RSL (ESPN2) will be the nationally televised games next week.

Now that Seattle has been elimated, there are four teams left fighting for the playoffs, and they all play eachother. Which is neat. Portland - Win or draw @ RSL. A loss eliminates Portland. RSL - Win vs Portland. Any other result eliminates RSL. Minnesota - Win or draw vs Vancouver. A loss eliminates Minnesota. Vancouver - Win @ Minnesota. Any other result eliminates Vancouver.

Similarly neat: four of the five teams still fighting for 3 open spots in the East play each other midweek (CLT-CLB, MIA-ORL) and then Orlando host Columbus next week. Charlotte (41pts, 13 wins, -6 GD: vs CLB, @ NYRB): need to win out or at the VERY least beat Columbus and hope Miami beats Orlando, because otherwise two of the three teams they are chasing are guaranteed to reach 46pts (since they play Columbus and the other two play each other), and a win and a draw only gets them to 45. The rest, we'll know more after Wednesday's slate but right now it's kind of a clusterfuck and none of the other 4 can be eliminated before Sunday: Cincinnati (46pts, 11 wins, 5 GD: @ DC) Orlando (45pts, 13 wins, -7 GD: @ MIA, vs CLB) Miami: (45pts, 13 wins, -10 GD: vs ORL, vs MTL) Columbus: (45pts, 10 wins, +6 GD: @ CLT, @ ORL) Also neat, though less similarly: https://twitter.com/OptaJack/status/1576605426434514945

Anybody want to do the math to determine what it'll take for Portland to get the 7 seed? That's my ideal season conclusion. Win the Cascadia Cup and a playoff run where Merritt can't host a single match.

Pretty sure the only way is Portland drawing RSL and Minnesota beating Vancouver. E: just to be clear, I'm rooting for RSL and Minnesota because if Seattle can't be in the playoffs, none of Cascadia should be

jfc the investigative report about abuse in NWSL had so much more horrible proof and info than I could’ve even imagined. now I REALLY want the Timbers to lose and embarrass every cowardly motherfucker in the front office that enabled such horrific actions. awful that I’m rooting against the team I love because the organization running it is full of monsters. it shouldn’t be this way. so many owners and GMs in both leagues need to be fired into the sun. should anyone want to read it, here ya go- even just skimming the table of contents is nightmarish. https://twitter.com/itsmeglinehan/status/1576981012889813001?s=46&t=BDGWce29MDIpcXs7_Tr2Zg

If FC Cincinnati are awarded the Wooden Spoon for the 2022 season based purely on on-the-field conduct (i.e. no points deductions for disciplinary reasons), I will resign as an IK for the gambling subforum.

I just assume AS don't know what they're talking about and are vaguely speculating for their own reasons (presumably related to spinning endless transfer rumors linking former La Liga superstars to Inter Miami) so I wouldn't put too much weight on any specific thing happening with roster rules after the Apple deal (except the cap hike that's already in the CBA) until someone reliable reports it.

He’s still making money. He’s gotta sell his percentage of ownership (as he doesn’t own the team outright, just a share of the company that does) and be 100% out of the organization to make any difference. Preferably him AND his father (Hank Paulson, also a real shitlord) will bail. They’ll make far more than they paid initially.

Blake win GK of Year (no duh) and Glesnes gets defender of the year.

They cancelled an upgrade to their St. Louis offices, cancelled a bunch of work in South Carolina on offices, and cancelled a sponsorship deal at both the stadium and the nearby Ballpark Village outside of Busch Stadium. In other words, it’s not really a red flag for the MLS team unless they struggle to find a new stadium sponsor.

Athletic article about what the Apple broadcast setup will look like. tl;dr - Over ~dozen English, ~dozen Spanish and 3 French (1 for each Canadian team) broadcast teams who will call games on site, option to mute their commentary and get radio feed instead, significant number of matches won't be behind a paywall, league well behind on getting this altogether (surprising no one), Apple logo will be on the sleeve of every jersey going forward (ugh).

I continue to absolutely hate stacking the matches on the same time slot on Saturday night, it makes absolutely no sense to me, but I guess it is what it is and I'll just end up being able to watch less matches. It also means if you actually attend a match you're effectively missing all of the other ones. The rest sounds fine, though i suspect there will be a lot of tech issues out the gate given how rushed it will be.
