I can't wait to fill my closet with fifteen NWSL Columbus jerseys and buy season tickets and plan summer vacations to see them on the road. I can't freaking wait.

What a slap in the face to Cincinnati who has shown for years that a women’s team would flourish

NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman is in Columbus for a "major soccer announcement" today. More on what we know below. dispatch.com/story/sports/p…
English
Have we learned nothing these last few days??? @RiverhoundsSC play PROFESSIONAL soccer!!!
It may not be MLS, but it is professional soccer regardless. I’m so sick of Pittsburgh media folks simply ignoring that.
All it takes is a Google search of the USSF Soccer Pyramid.

It's now been 1,442 days since a major professional Pittsburgh sports team won a playoff game.

@andycreeps @SenorPayne @ColumbusCrew Because Columbus wasn’t involved. Of course they will always go with the best city.
English
@SenorPayne @ColumbusCrew Because Cleveland and Cincinnati both put forward great bids with a ton of fan support but the highest bidder won with Denver. Now, it’s the Haslams 🤮
English
The NWSL called and Columbus answered 📞
Columbus joins the league as team No. 18!
English
@imperfecttl Columbus will be the next expansion franchise in NWSL starting in 2028.
English
Columbus is pushing hard for a NWSL team. I think Racing Louisville FC is a target if Soccer Holdings wants to sell. LouCity is profitable + good attendance. Louisville Kings as a tenant has the potential for attendance growth. Racing is valuable at $125mil, ownership could hold.

Columbus City Council just passed legislation that helps push forward a training site (and funding) for a prospective (not confirmed) #NWSL team, at the site of a public park, after a contentious public meeting that included some shouts of "shame" off camera after it passed.

@mveil39 @mark_scheig What is that answer? Because this franchise has no answers obviously.
English
@mark_scheig Yep. But to turn this franchise around for the next decade...the answer is within and nobody wants to talk about it. Maybe fans are not ready.

Happy Monday. Part 2 of my #CBJ season-ending column drops just after 11am. It's over 2,600 words. You thought the way the 2025-26 season ended was the biggest problem for the Blue Jackets right now? Think again. We'll discuss the real problem they're facing as an organization.
Mark Scheig@mark_scheig
New: My #CBJ season-ending column, Part 1. It's been 25 years of empty words, broken promises & failed seasons no matter who's been here. This season might be worst of them all. Among the things the team must do now? Earn back the trust of the fans. Read: thehockeywriters.com/blue-jackets-f…

@CardinalsNewEra Take the best non-QB player who can play RB and slot. He is only 20 as well. Future leader of the franchise.
English
So tired of these other fans saying picking Love at 3 is stupid, if we CANNOT get a good package for 3, who else is worthy of picking there? David Bailey has no run defense, Arvell is another overhyped Hybrid project, and Mauigoa has multiple back issue concerns.

@jneedham24 @michaelnef44 Problem is drafting has still done nothing for us under Waddell. Great start with Lindstrom. 😡
English
@michaelnef44 Drafting and developing. Lot of that is left over mess from Jarmo. Boggles my mind the people saying hope he does well in Buffalo. The mess he made here in his last 4 years that we are still trying to clean up. No. I hope he suffers professionally as much as the Jackets have.
English
@burackbobby_ Has great ability…but will he play more than half a season.
Love is the best overall player.
English
My take on the NFL Draft: Jordyn Tyson will be the best player from it. Sounds like the Chiefs at 9 is the most likely landing spot.
English
@BrodyLeeBower @Dylantheflamez Could anyone else really do much worse? Blind squirrel could pick an NHL team and win one series in 25 years.
English
@IrishCBJ @Dylantheflamez so glad you’re not the GM of the Jackets. phew.
English
@BrodyLeeBower @Dylantheflamez Ummmm he is found his way there rather quickly. So so bad
English
@Dylantheflamez how can a kid who is just 20 years old and has played one season outside of juniors be labeled a ‘bust’? i’m a die hard CBJ fan and admit cayden was absolutely atrocious but he can’t be labeled a bust yet. that’s naive.
English
@TheCinesthetic Crazy it is known as three different titles due to such poor marketing.
First…All You Need is Kill
Second…Edge of Tomorrow
Third…Live Die Repeat
English
Edge of Tomorrow (2014) was sunk by confusing marketing and a forgettable title, yet it turned out to be one of the smartest and most entertaining sci-fi films of the last decade. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt at their absolute best.
cinesthetic.@TheCinesthetic
Name a movie you had no idea was gonna be THAT good.
English
@mugnoma @JohnForslund @NBCSports @BlueJacketsNHL Also was ONLY playoff series CBJ have ever won still.
(No play-in does not count)
English
OTD, 2019: Probably the most hype ENG ever? @JohnForslund certainly added the exclamation mark.
Artemi Panarin delivers the final blow in a stunning sweep of the league best TBL squad.
It was the last playoff series Tampa would lose up until the 2022 SCF.
Oh the story.
English
@ManninTheCannon Let him prove himself. If he thinks hes a number 1 goalie, bring it.
People forget Elvis played his best when he was in a goalie competition. Competition in everything makes everyone better.
English
@PoweNodl3614 @frank_seravalli @Buccigross Top half is correct. But second thought is why would the move? They sucked for years but still have support locally. Lots of support.
Way more than really any other city gives teams when they are bad (see Pittsburgh, Chicago, etc)
English
We spent a lot of time today diving into the mediocrity the #CBJ franchise has tolerated over 25 seasons.
The Bowness debate took me and @Buccigross to some unexpected places.... like David Carle?

@RichSaluki Would be nice to have a choice who I sell to. But I do not.
You seem like you want a lot of control over what others do. Super strange.
English
@IrishCBJ Its not about not going to every game. Its not even about staying home. Its about selling your tickets to opposing fans.
English
To every season ticket holder who contributed this: G F Y.
English
@FinnMcCoolOH @BlueJacketsNHL But yet still to my point. He quit on the CBJ fan base just like this years team.
English
@IrishCBJ @BlueJacketsNHL Yeah, really hated the franchise so much he came back to work for them and lives here 🙄. He asked for a trade because we surrounded him with horrible teams for almost 10 years and constant “rebuilds”. Don’t blame him one bit. His trade resulted in better years for the franchise.
English
@RichSaluki Already did. Sorry to disappoint you and not go to every game.
