@moonlightlovinn @TakesPizza @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow If it wasn’t for fans he’d be working a regular job like the rest of us. I don’t idolize these people like you guys.

@connor9299 @TakesPizza @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow messi loves his fans, signs jerseys and stops anytime their are waiting for him. HE DOESNT OWN ANYONE THAT ISNT HIS FAN OR MEDIA SHIIIITTTTT 🗣️ the same media that were against him yeah no thanks stay away from him, that is why he is very selective on who gets to interview him
English
The topic of Lionel Messi not speaking to local media while at Inter Miami has hit the mainstream sports conversation in the United States.
@LeBatardShow dove into the matter.

@FrancoPanizo El efecto Messi es muy grande franco, acéptalo y la MLS ha crecido este año, está más competitiva ya los equipos le salen a jugar a inter miami con otra intensidad y sin miedo. Otros jugadores no pueden llenar ni su propio estadio 🤣🤣🤣
Español
Beckham llenó Giants Stadium en el 2007.
Más de 66,000 personas fueron al estadio de fútbol americano ese día.
Luego, con el tiempo, las cosas volvieron a la normalidad.
Lo mismo pasa con Messi.

@FrancoPanizo Jajaja Pero querido franco viste como lleno colorado, hay que llenar ese estadio gigante eh......

@TakesPizza @cjskatesnoway @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow Yeah I’m done here. You have an unhealthy obsession with a man who is great at soccer. If fans didn’t exist, then professional athletes don’t. They owe us access and respect. If you still don’t get it, that’s on you. You gave away the game with the insulting of the league.
English
@cjskatesnoway @connor9299 @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow He’s Messi and he plays in the MLS.
Not sure what else is needed.
He could be retired and instead he’s playing for this shit league.. & fans want more from him?? LOL
Every weekend he lights up the league with highlights - but it’s not good enough.
English
@JorgeSunnyFL @awireman @FrancoPanizo I wish the league was bigger. I’ve been a fan for a decade. It’s going to take a while. But it can get there.
English
@connor9299 @awireman @FrancoPanizo The average anglo saxon yes, this is a different market though since we have access to every major sport in the world
English
Correct.
But a lot of these Messi fans — especially those in Argentina — have been sold this great big fairy tale that Messi has changed the entire landscape of the game in the United States.
That just simply isn’t true.

@FrancoPanizo The avg American isn’t paying attention to MLS.
English
@TakesPizza @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow Because he would be working a 9-5 if fans didn’t exist? Just like everyone in this industry would lol Americans still don’t care about MLS either. As much as it pains me to say.
English
@connor9299 @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow Messi playing in the MLS is more than enough as far as “growing the game in America”… he doesn’t need to do post match interviews.
The fact that he’s in the MLS is insane. He literally just won the MLS Cup. Why does he owe Inter Miami (or any) fans anything after his career?

Te hiciste el vivo y terminaste el tonto.

I cover Inter Miami and as such he is front and center.
But that isn’t the case for the average American who has tons of other sports (and entertainment options) to watch.
You think the masses in, say, Oklahoma know Inter Miami collapsed vs Orlando City?

JMG@MarcosGuerra7
@FrancoPanizo Messi is above this. Proof is you hashtag every single tweet with his name
English
@awireman @FrancoPanizo The average person doesn’t care about MLS here.
English
@TakesPizza @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow He can do what he wants and just not get paid, that’s fine. Athletes are strictly for the entertainment of the fans. Your submissiveness to an athlete is really weird lmao. And I enjoy watching him play too. What do you mean isn’t enough? LeBron still needs to do interviews.
English
@connor9299 @GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow So after everything Lionel Messi has done.. and at his age.. coming to MLS still isn’t enough?
He won the MLS cup, still not enough.
Now he has to do postgame interviews like LeBron James and go door-to-door like a politician to grow the sport?
You guys are clowns.

@GJacome10 @FrancoPanizo @LeBatardShow What does Leo Messi owe the fans?
Can’t wait to hear this one. 🤣

@GCaseYHS27 @Jesse58667928 @cam_pellegrino It already cleared out by this point. You can tell by the podium.
English
@Jesse58667928 @cam_pellegrino this is not a packed stadium… even during the game there were a ton of seats empty up top and some in the lower bowl.
But wouldn’t be suprised if this was “packed” by redbulls standards 😭

@PhilGetsinger @SoccerInsider Last few years we’ve averaged around 10k but issues with transportation and prices of the games right now plus weather it’s causing issues.

@MichaelBattista Wasn’t Robles going to do real estate if it didn’t work out here?
English
There was a Red Bull New York (tbf New York Red Bulls at the time) player who someone told me once they retired they were going into real estate and were super excited for it. I can’t remember who it was but just imagine his last game with the team doing this. lol

New working paper on the California Fast-Food minimum wage (will come out as NBER WP soon but posting now). Big increase in wages. Big drop in separations. Little change in jobs. (Bonus: sheds light on QWI vs QCEW measurement of jobs.)

yes, NYCHA deserves more federal funding. but that alone won’t fix their finances
NYCHA is sitting on some of the most valuable, underutilized land in the world. the obvious solution is to rebuild housing denser and mixed-income, guaranteeing brand new homes for existing tenants
Darializa for Congress@DarializaforNY
NYCHA residents deserve to live with dignity. We need $78 BILLION dollars to fund NYCHA repairs over the next 20 years, and when I'm in Congress I'm fighting to win every penny of that!
