The irony of #Crew96 celebrating STC day isn’t lost on me when the FO is pricing out those same people who fought to keep the club in Columbus.

MLS loves the shortcuts. Assigning teams rivals for rivalry week. focus tested match day traditions, throwback jerseys for teams founded in 2019, bending rules for “big names” while maintaining those rules to avoid finding and courting serious ownership groups. And now farming coverage to ChatGPT

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

Soooo....

$500M for an expansion franchise
$2.5B media rights deal with Apple
They do everything they can to justify higher ticket prices and random tournaments to generate revenue

All so they can have a machine shit out a recap instead of paying real writers.

Fuck. All. The. Way. Off. ML$.

On this Golden Guillermo Anniversary of #SavedTheCrew Day, we want to recognize the man singularly responsible for this unprecedented Community Victory: The Absolute Lad, Josh Williams #crew96

That Photogenic mf Josh Williams caught in mid-jubilation at Endeavor after the Crew was officially saved. To his left, Save The Crew executive director Orb Gardney. To the right, the back of what appears to be Dorby Snafu’s head.

“A spokesperson with Reddit said the site does not have an official statement, but pointed to a comment made by Rep. Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Township), a supporter of the measure, who claimed the law won’t impact social media sites”

So @safety.bsky.app caved prematurely.

The Dispatch just raised my subscription by $5 a month (despite laying off another batch of hardworking journalists).

So I cancelled my Dispatch subscription and invested in The Disrespected.

This was a great column to begin my experience.

Last night at dinner we sat next to a table of Canadians visiting Irish family; overhearing part of their conversation about what’s going on in the U.S. almost made me weep.
