I'm not privy to every moving part in a deal like this, I'm not sure I would want another contender to get a player of Bethune's quality.
Bethune feeding Chawinga could change the earth's tilt, we could be talking about a globe-altering situation here.

And you can get it for as little as $50 a year? You're basically robbing Doyle by signing up IMO.

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.
I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

No. What people on the left need to see is journalists informing the public rather than performing press release as a service.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Excl. The USA forward Catarina Macario has turned down an offer of a contract extension at Chelsea, the Guardian understands. She's attracting interest from around the world, incl. Europe, and her future is now in major doubt after she was left out of Chelsea's squad list for the #UWCL knockouts.

When I started covering DC United in 2011, coverage was robust - MLS had its own beat writer (my dear friend @cboehm.bsky.social), I provided granular coverage for DCist, Black & Red United went further - and Goff, a real legend, covered the club like a big league team.
They now have no coverage.

the entire WaPo situation is obviously terrible but from a soccer angle, it's hard to imagine the paper will cover the Spirit/DCU much, if at all anymore. that is an enormous loss for soccer fans in the region and really, to those teams as well.
