Here to talk a little politics, a lot of ⚽️, and obsess about LAFC
FIFA straight up robbed its most loyal supporters.
Thousands of fans used the FIFA Collect platform to purchase digital collectibles that came with the 'right to buy' (RTB) actual World Cup tickets.
Now, after values of RTBs collapsed and details of how it all works emerged, many fans feel 'ripped off.'

@travelfutbolfan.bsky.social can’t thank you enough for calling out RTBs as scams early on. As someone who has been planning 8 years for this WC I was the perfect mark. So glad you were out there speaking the truth.

NEW: How ICE mistakenly deported Alejandro Juarez to Mexico.
Alejandro was detained in NYC, put on the wrong ICE plane and sent to Mexico.
He never saw a judge, no deportation order - a likely violation of law.

Obviously not John Muller’s job to make people care, and he’s right that MLS shot themselves in the foot with decisions like cancelling ExtraTime, but might help if those covering MLS were able to come up with better angles for stories about MLS.
Lionel Messi just had the best season in MLS history. Does anyone really care?
I wrote about it for The Guardian:

Speaker Johnson knows this is a complete lie. Or if he doesn’t his staff do and could tell him. Either way, she can’t “work” without being sworn in. She can’t hire staff or furnish an office without having been sworn in. He knows this - and he’s just lying about it.
Mike Johnson: "Rep. Grijalva can work -- Rep.-elect Grijalva can work for her constituents right now. Constituent services, answering the phones, she has computers and 16 employees and there's no excuse for it. The Epstein files are being released."

Is it weird that they’ve never unearthed a single paid protester let alone the mechanism that would allow millions to be paid?
Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

I've already written four Joe Burrow injury stories since he went down yesterday. One toe generated that much content in less than 24 hours. Meanwhile, it will probably be Thursday when we get an update on #FCCincy CB Matt Miazga's scans. MLS doesn't get it. Good or bad news, it generates interest.
