This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@wilsonchrismark He hasn't been called in by the new manager. I wouldn't read anything into it other than that.

The anti-gay Spanish slur directed at Tai Baribo pausing the #cf97 match last Saturday did not come from the supporters section, per sources. However, "the chant" did briefly erupt before supports & security intervened. Full story: meninred97.com/progress-limit…

⚽️ Concacaf has banned the use of flags and banners that depict Anti-Fascist, Anti-Racist, BLM (Black Lives Matter), Trans Rights, Raised Fist, Anti-Homophobia and Anti-Sexism according to the Emerald City Supporters. This news comes ahead of the Seattle Sounders Concacaf Champions Cup clash with the Vancouver Whitecaps in Spokane, Washington.

@SoccerPrime Noooooo. It was about Denkey's alleged crash in his Lambo.

This also lines up with what I have heard from multiple sources. Baribo's last game in Chicago (with PHI in the 2025 playoffs) was halted because of the anti-gay chant.
Steven Goff@SoccerInsider

Alleged discriminatory slur made by a Soldier Field fan during MLS match Saturday was derogatory Spanish word common after goal kicks, sources tell Yahoo Sports. D.C. United's Tai Baribo had brought it to ref's attention after such a kick. Match delayed briefly. Probe underway.

@w3stw3stw3st Dude hates when the Fire don't play guys in the USMNT pool and hates it when the Rapids sign a guy in the USMNT pool so they can play him. Damned if you do, damned if you don't if you're in MLS, I guess

he blocked me for calling him out months ago, but let’s be clear here. Cupps is at BEST CB4. Leo is miles ahead of Borso - who I’d very much like to see more of btw! he played very well in his debut Guys like this don’t watch the games, and they suck the joy out a game we love

@deepmrbroderick @w3stw3stw3st And he blocked me for calling him out on that - and IIRC I actually thanked him in the thread for the work he does covering prospects

@Bialynian This was from Opta data that I no longer have access to. 2024 was a bad year, 2023 was good, 2025 was a reversion closer to 2023 but in front of a bad defense (which is had to isolate for w/GK stats)

This is one of the most incorrect takes I've read. -Minus 2024, Brady's been statistically 1 of the best GKs in MLS by advanced metrics. -Dean had a very good game except for a rough call at the end. -Cuypers both scored goals and pressed like a machine (2810 mins last year)
az@aaronaldo17

Probably an unpopular opinion but Brady is not the GK we think he is. I don’t even think he’s better than Gaga was. Gutman definitely a big miss, get Dean out the XI. Cuypers is nowhere near DP level. And wtf is wrong with the pitch? Probably the worst it’s looked #cf97

@aaronaldo17 Whole issue w/your argument is you're mistaking symptoms for the disease. Spacing was off everywhere, but I think that's a system issue, not a Cuypers issue. If it was, then it'd have been an issue over the past seasons and it hasn't been.

@sing_electric Cuypers, congrats on the PK I guess. Still had a bad game offensively, together with the rest of the attack. But he’s the main forward and he was crashing with teammates and he was swinging on balls and missing either the ball or the goal 🤷‍♂️ but yeah I guess pressing is important

@aaronaldo17 I still don't think that's a fair assessment of Dean; he's proven to be a more than capable MLS player and keep in mind - he was playing on his weak side. I'm really not sure what he was supposed to do with the handball, since it looked like arm went up when he was pushed

@sing_electric Sure, Dean is great cheap cap option, but realistically shouldn’t be playing, especially as LB. Red card game 2 and giving up a PK on a ball that was going out of play, very bad. Rather have MHS tbh. Also didn’t say Brady was bad, just not what we all think he is

@BloatedCorpse There were heavy, heavy hints at the Fire's groundbreaking that that's the plan for 2029/30

@penant09 And he's not a normal starter on the depth chart. He's been a tremendous value for the squad, cap wise, and he has consistently found a way to break through his ceiling and find a new level

@sing_electric I don’t understand all the hate for Dean. Sometimes it seems like he’s the only man on the pitch who wants to win. Should he be a permanent starter ? No. But the dude hustles and has heart on a team when thats sometimes lacking.

(Not sure what was up with the pitch, looked like it had been re-sodded in stages? outside ~8 yards looked different than inside. Wasn't in great shape but has looked worse, e.g. during football season. Did seem to play like crap today, but weather certainly a factor)

I get that losses are tough but singling out individual performances (especially the wrong ones!) for a collective loss isn't fair (or useful).
