The media is reducing Josh Cavallo’s experience as an out gay man in professional football to the “death threats” he gets sent on social media. It’s a morbid fascination that overshadows his message of joy. For @outsports #LGBTQfootball outsports.com/2025/3/19/2410…

A Champions League team replacing last season's top scorer in LaLiga by spending big on an Aberdeen player? This is a vibe I can definitely get on board with.

Thank you for everything ⁦@FIFPRO⁩! To have had the support of the players and the Unions over these last 5 years has meant the world to me. To work with you and to fight for you has been such a privilege. I’ve loved it and I’ll miss it ❤️ fifpro.org/en/who-we-are/…

Me when I see my favourite Spanish beer on tap:

@IshmaelM_9 I speak as someone with a soft spot for MFF! 🩵 The point is Malmö are successful in Sweden, but that’s not what makes them special. Throughout good and bad times, it’s the tifos / fan culture etc that make the club what it is, not results.

@DavidChilds What are you smoking? This is the most successful club in Sweden, potentially Scandinavia. We might not be contenders against millionaires and billionaire owned clubs but for a club owned by the fans, for the fans we are doing very well. Next time maybe research before posting😊

I really like this, and a good example of how to position a club without (minus the last point) relying on success on the pitch. It’s a solid case for a bunch of Scottish clubs (even if there’s some European knock-out PTSD sliced into this clip).
