@_Zeets damn. might have to quit this app in solidarity with my dad's hometown club.

The sports teams and leagues leaving this place is going to be the final nail in the coffin. A lot of the big sports brands don’t even have Twitter on the list of social media apps to reach audiences through anymore.

Six recommendations for albums to listen to front to back: three new releases, three older gems. (Sidebar: I realized while writing this that ‘Astral Weeks’ might be ‘Voodoo’ for the Irish?) rowanspencer.substack.com/p/ts008-burgun…

Bimbo Bakeries USA is moving its headquarters from Horsham, PA to Dallas, TX after 17 years in the region. For Philadelphia Union fans, it raises an obvious question about the club’s long-standing partnership with Bimbo, which was most recently extended in 2023 (with the original deal dating back to 2011). Notably, in 2020, the two became the first in Major League Soccer to feature different brands on home and away kits, Bimbo and Artesano. A relocation does not necessarily mean an immediate change, but it could signal a shift down the line. A new front-of-shirt partner may be in play soon, potentially aligning with the league calendar after the shortened "sprint" 2027 season? #doop #MLS #bimbo #sportsbusiness 📷: Carl Gulbish (@carlgulbishpho1), MLS, BIMBO, and Philadelphia Union
