We’re resentful when one team’s women’s and men’s sides play at the same time- obvs we always choose to watch the women’s side but should we have to choose??

FIFA has trademarked the words “World Cup” and refuses to let bars and restaurants hosting watch parties use the phrase to advertise their events.
How would you advertise your World Cup event without using the phrase “World Cup?”

We’re not saying that if your team is homophobic, you’ll lose, but we ARE saying that being homophobic makes you a loser.
Moments like today show exactly why visibility matters. LGBTQI+ fans shouldn’t have to shrink to make others feel comfortable.

FIFA just invented its Peace Prize for President Trump.
But this is the story of the innocent professional soccer player and youth coach that this administration had disappeared and tortured.

Thinking of Grant Wahl today & sending love to his family, former peers & those who loved his writing.
Last night I found something I wrote after his passing, with help from @meglinehan.com & @jtannenwald.bsky.social. I published it today, as a small tribute.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.
And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Pay attention to how media covers this draw. Who calls out the issues and which ones gloss over it. Plenty of sports outlets are quite ready to play along with FIFA & Trump and they do not deserve neither your time nor your money. #worldcupdraw
