Hyped to have this Riveters/Steel City piece on the cover of the @pghcitypaper.com this week! It's a huge moment for women's soccer and soccer in the city of Pittsburgh. The potential is here to turn this opportunity into something bigger, I hope everyone takes it!
Friendly reminder that these are based on ratings, not actual viewership, and that smaller cities tend to dominate these lists because it's easier for a higher percentage of a smaller market to watch a network TV game. In other words, NY, LA, Chicago, etc. are big.
NWSL top local viewership markets for championship game on CBS platforms:

1) Washington, DC
2) Kansas City
3) Portland, OR
4) Tulsa
T5) Baltimore
T5) Buffalo
7) Albuquerque-Santa Fe
T9) New Orleans
T9) Hartford & New Haven
T9) San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose
T9) San Diego
NWSL viewing record:

An average of 1.184 million on CBS/Paramount+ for championship match between Gotham FC and Washington Spirit.

It was a 22 percent increase over 2024.

I'm of two minds here:

1) AI is abhorrent, unethical and should be eradicated from this Earth.

2) The abdication of parental responsibility is also stupid and expecting the world to cater to what you do/don't want your child to see is entitled in the extreme. Fucking be a parent.
This is insane shit. Yesterday when I saw that Open AI response to the suicide was to victim blame, I really thought that would be the lowest shit. But here, Google acknowledges AI is bad for kids but FUCK IT deal with it, parents. Trash company. They don't need to do this shit.
Computing going well, good computing everyone

Three public ballots and three voters who should have their ballots stripped for the absolute jokes they submitted. Voters in (really not) rare shitty form already this year.
Ballot #3 is from Lynn Henning. He checks his two holdovers, with no adds or first-timers. His column: www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

No football lines when your playoffs are in May, just saying 🤷‍♂️
Compared to what we've had in the past here at Snapdragon, this isn't the worst, but we'll still have some college football lines here for SDFC v Minnesota

I wish I could have gotten across that I want to support and protect trans people. But I don't specifically. Kind of in the abstract, I guess, if I squint and make them part of everybody.
The Kamala Harris book is so excruciating

Again, Pettite but no A-Rod should lose you a ballot.
Ballot #2 is from William Ladson, a first-time voter. Beltrán, Jones, and Pettitte improve to 2/2 in the early going, while Félix and Buehrle grab their first vote each

Jorge Morejón should lose his fucking ballot.
Ballot #1 in the 2026 Hall of Fame voting cycle is from Jorge Morejón. Andruw Jones receives the first net gained vote of the cycle. Jones finished last year 8.8% shy of election. Morejón's column: www.martinoticias.com/a/opini%C3%B...

Great apology from Ja'Maar Chase if you ignore the fact that he did it and then bold-faced lied about it on camera and only apologized after getting caught and suspended. Clown.

Too late to die for oil, too early to die for oil, just on time to die for oil!
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

For reference, a lockout during a World Cup year would absolutely kill USL's long-term future. Forget pro/rel and D1, the league will ultimately die if it is willing to treat its players this way.

Those shirts and these signs from supporters of the two teams which were cut from the CBS broadcast very clearly rankled people at USL HQ if they had to go to those lengths

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.

The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

I am the stone that the builder refused;
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made lady sing the blues.

I'm the spark that makes your idea bright,
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right.

Watching the MLV draft live stream and they have now misspelled TWO players names on their little cards. Players who are not a surprise in the draft whatsoever. Embarrassing as hell, get it together you guys.

It feels even better that we won that on the back of a godlike performance from the goalkeeper we got from the Union themselves.

Reliably informed this was impossible. Wonder what today's excuse will be?
But I was informed you could not win a playoff team with several important players out

Bro what a weekend! Hounds, Gotham, City. I should just quit watching while I'm ahead

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.
🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬
