Hopefully Nashville SC get to defend their US Open Cup title next year and MLS isn't allowed to continue withdrawing its teams from the country's domestic cup competition.

This is (part of) how you make the Open Cup a big deal. By treating it...like a big deal. Lots of respect to Nashville SC for this.

On Sunday, Nashville SC presented the first championship trophy in the city's history to a crowd of nearly 4,000 fans, a milestone moment for the club and the sport of soccer in Tennessee.

My old PES vision of an all-Florida league is slowly coming to life in USL lol.

(disregard Elon sponsors circa 2015, but heavy space theme branding or we riot)

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Insane timeslot for the defending champions to have their banner raising too, how did these people get there on time on SoFlo traffic lol

The population cutoff line between "name the team after the biggest city" and "we can get away with naming the team after where they actually play", somewhere between Arlington and Frisco apparently

Orlando Thunder was RIGHT THERE guys.

Same theme but name has some history in Orlando (instead of Tampa Bay arena league team) and they could tied in the green from Guardians

Derek Reese @dr928.bsky.social · 3d

Prayers up for the grounds crews at all these MLS/USL/NWSL venues where the UFL teams are moving to.

Big *visual* upgrade with the return to Orlando but if we could stop having new sports teams in FL reusing nicknames previously used in other FL cities that'd be great

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

A Stefano Pinho sighting!

I keep forgetting there are still a few active former Strikers. Getting one of them on next year’s FTL squad would be rad.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

1) you should watch this even though it involves no fun teams

2) if you need to hold your nose & pick who to root for, remember the genesis of Nashville SC was a supporter-owned NPSL team (they sold out big time but still) while Austin FC exists solely because of shady MLS relocation tactics
