@capde11 @realDonaldTrump It’s longstanding U.S. policy. I don’t support it but it is widely publicized.

🚨 ¡NECESITO AYUDA @realDonaldTrump ! 🙏 Me acaban de decir que no puedo viajar a la final con mis hijos porque me han denegado el ESTA 😭 ¿Alguien me puede ayudar con esto? No sabéis la ilusión que me hacía poder estar allí con todos mis compañeros de 2010 y con este equipo para animarles. No me puedo creer que no me permitan entrar en USA... y perderme un momento así con mis hijos que tanto amamos el fútbol... 😔 @educaciongob Si alguien sabe cómo solucionarlo, os lo agradeceré en el alma de por vida.

@ModeGallego @MochilaExpres @donhurtado @capde11 Ineligible for ESTA if you’ve traveled to Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011. Cuba on or after January 12, 2021.

@MochilaExpres @donhurtado @capde11 Entonces que concrete fechas y no un simple “Si has estado de vacaciones en Cuba”. Es muy genérico.

@bobby_picasso He doesn’t say that. These accounts make up quotes knowing v few people will actually watch the video.

"je suis pas raciste mes domestiques sont anglais" c'est extraordinaire

@MySportsUpdate @Sportico Then they’ll fly out & update their generic sponsorship pitch deck to include game attendance numbers & # of NFLJP social followers, leaving the task of fan development to individual teams. The games are still only available w Game Pass sub which DAZN now charges more for.

@MySportsUpdate @Sportico Japan where the only way to watch games, many of which happen in the middle of the night, is through a ~$165/yr streaming service. So the NFL will host a game there & boast about how fast tickets sell out, not mentioning most purchases are w US CCs.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told @sportico that Japan is a country the league is very interested in playing a game in, and in his mind there are about 10 other countries he’d also love to see host NFL games.

@MLFootball @barstoolIN @KennyKing_Jr @RaidersBeat @FitzyGFY @JumboHart @jerrythornton @TitleTalkTCL @PatsBuzz @itmekaralee @sagesteele Ha. She retired & spent 2 years off the ice. No training, dieting, nothing. Returned in 2024, won World Cup/made Olympic team in 2025 & won 2 golds in Feb. It’s doubtful the others would even make their team rosters after 2 yrs away, let alone become starters in first yr back.

🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE🚨🚨 FIGURE SKATER ALYSA LIU WON THE ESPY FOR BEST BREAKTHROUGH ATHLETE OVER DRAKE MAYE, MACKLIN CELEBRINI AND FERNANDO MENDOZA. Celebrini: All-Rookie Mendoza: Heisman & National Champ Drake Maye: MVP runner-up & SB appearance Liu:?????????????? WOW 😳😳😳

@BaitMaxxer @kynxberk x.com/cary2352/statu…

@kynxberk Eh, this is a bad take. While Alysa is phenomenal, a Super Bowl appearance will top a figure skating gold any day of the week. Far less people trying to reach the figure skating peak compared to football peak. Levels you wouldn’t understand (for obvious reasons)

imagine thinking a superbowl *appearance* tops an Olympic gold medal....

@kynxberk Also the sheer fact that she retired & spent 2 WHOLE YRS off the ice! No training. Decided to try it again in 2024 & then won Olympic gold. If Maye picked up a football again for the first time in 2024 would he be in Super Bowl 1.5 yrs later? Would he even be NFL starting QB? No.

@RepJamesClyburn accomplishment: a successful completion or an achievement that requires *significant effort, skill, or perseverance*

Congratulations to Senator Darline Graham Nordone on this historic achievement. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for our state.   A 2009 graduate of South Carolina State University, Senator Graham Nordone becomes the first woman and the first HBCU graduate to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. This is a testament to the progress our nation continues to make in expanding opportunities for women to serve at the highest levels of public office.    I feel certain her historic accomplishment will inspire generations of South Carolinians to believe that no barrier is beyond reach and wish her Godspeed.

@AshleyRParker My LG story: hours after Trump shared his cell phone number on the campaign trail during 2016 primary, I saw him with a tub of popcorn scurrying into Minions at a theater in DC.

Like anyone who’s spent any time around politics, I have many Lindsey Graham stories. This is perhaps my favorite… I was covering Congress (Best! Beat! Ever!) for the NYT when the Mother Emanuel shooting happened in Charleston. It was summer, but I was wearing pants and a sweater that day because it was always SO freezing in the Capitol. Anyhow, news of the shooting came down, and the DC Bureau chief called me with an order: Get yourself to Charleston ASAP and glue yourself to Graham’s side. She wanted a piece on the senator grappling with the unimaginable. So I headed straight to the airport, arriving in Charleston with just my backpack and what I’d be wearing to work that day, and linked up with Graham. He had me meet him at a restaurant, where I told him I needed to shadow him for the next 48 hours. And he looked at me, with amused distaste, and said: “You are sticky. And you are icky. If you want to shadow me, go buy some nice new clothes—maybe a dress—and take a shower, and then we’ll talk.” (He was not wrong; I was sweaty and gross). So I drove to a local big box store, bought a dress (he seemed to have a strong preference for a dress), and spent the next few days with him, resulting in this piece (which, for reasons not worth getting into, ended up being fairly different than the original assignment): nytimes.com/2015/06/20/us/…

@JasJWright @taylorgiorno_ Next can you pls write about the pardon Israel purchased for Hernández? hondurasgate.ch/investigacione…

This is one story you should read past the headline!! A wild ride and my latest piece with @taylorgiorno_ :

@taylorgiorno_ @BOOSIEOFFICIAL @JasJWright Appreciate the article. Next can you write about the Hernández pardon? Arguably even more newsworthy. hondurasgate.ch/investigacione…

Last fall, @BOOSIEOFFICIAL hired two infamous lobbyists to help secure a presidential pardon. Now, he wants his money back — and he's taking legal action. w/ the incredible @JasJWright notus.org/trump-white-ho…

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii Also. Distribution of games. The league with the smallest fan base airs the vast majority of their matches exclusively on AppleTV v. NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL which split inventory across basic broadcast & cable & treat streaming as an add-on. Monetizing product before growing fandom.

Soccer is booming in the United States and World Cup viewership shows there is MASSIVE interest, but it will never be the priority and always play 5th fiddle to the Big 4 sports in America unless Americans fundamentally change their approach to youth sports. American Soccer is behind the rest of the world for 3 reasons: 1. Cultural Sporting DNA In the USA, Soccer competes in a crowded field of Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey instead of dominating like abroad. Europe and the rest of the world built soccer through community clubs, local pride and it being their default sport. They are born with a soccer ball on their feet. 2. Pay-to-Play Barrier In the USA most youth are priced out of playing because the cost to be on the team is too expensive. Currently there is a 14% decline in youth soccer participation between ages 6 to 12. Europe and the rest of world’s accessible club model keeps more kids in the game longer. 3. Less participation in the sport An all time high 16.8 million youth played outdoor soccer in the USA in 2025, but per capita the USA is far behind other European countries like Belgium which has a 3x higher rate of participation for its population size. For American soccer to catch up, it has to change its sporting culture focus to development instead of making money and lower the cost barrier for participation through state and government funded clubs over the next 20 years. Development needs to be the priority, not maximizing how much money can be made off the athlete and their parents. Instead of focusing on the old statement of “if our best athletes played”, focus on making the best athletes want to keep playing and the ones who do play the beautiful game better at it. Then and only then can we find our Erling Haaland, Lamine Yamal, Messi, Ronaldo or Jude Bellingham. We have to build the structure for them to develop in. #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Football #Soccer #RG3 #OuttaPocket #USA

@DaleJohnsonBBC Genuine question for FIFA: their US broadcaster said live, unambiguously, the ball hit the cable before England’s equalizer & it should result in drop ball. Should viewers trust Fox Sports & their rules experts or FIFA?

Yep. The connected ball technology says no evidence the ball touched the wire. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@Rory_Talks_Ball FIFA’s official U.S. broadcast partner tells us the ball hit the camera cable. x.com/FOXSports/stat…

Our eyes tell us the ball hit the camera cable BBC’s 3D technology tells us the ball hit the camera cable But the sensor inside the ball didn’t notice it therefore it didn’t happen and we must all bow down to the technology Dystopian.

@ChristinaUnkel What are you even talking about? We’ve constantly seen instances in which players ask refs to review VAR and they don’t. IDK what you’re watching but it’s not the same World Cup the rest of us are.

Ref/VAR protocol. Take note, if player tells ref something that can be checked by VAR, ref will typically pass info along to VAR. If goalkeeper claimed ball hit the spidercam cable, that’s exactly type info VAR would check using every available resource - video + ball technology.

@CBSSportsGolazo @ChristinaUnkel So is FIFA’s official broadcast partner lying, @ChristinaUnkel? x.com/FOXSports/stat…

"You don't see the ball trajectory change... It's a perfect rainbow arch, there's no change." Rules analyst @ChristinaUnkel didn't see any issue with England's first goal vs. Norway 👀

@psg_circus @Coinvo @Romain_Molina All of the claims have been exposed by Argentinian reporters. He collected their work. @LANACION published first article on money laundering scheme in December. lanacion.com.ar/politica/inves…

@Coinvo This is @Romain_Molina . Maybe don’t forget to @ him for his work

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇦🇷 A French journalist has uncovered $300M laundered by Argentine FA officials through Miami shell companies. Messi's World Cup earnings were funneled into private jets, yachts, Miami mansions, and the buyout of Italian club Perugia. 😳

@Coinvo No. It was published by an Argentinian paper in December. It’s been extensively reported on. lanacion.com.ar/politica/inves…

@TouchlineX It’s not new news. It first broke in December after AFA HQ raid. It’s been widely covered in Argentina. Here’s first article (of many) in @LANACION: lanacion.com.ar/politica/inves…

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: More than €42 million of the €300 million Argentina received after winning the 2022 World Cup was diverted to shell companies. A contract signed just 9 days BEFORE Argentina's World Cup win vs France reportedly gave 30% of the AFA's World Cup revenue to a company called TourProdEnter. FIFA then allegedly transferred the World Cup funds directly to that company, which reportedly has NO links to football. — @Romain_Molina
