Want to know why I'm so passionate about supporting soccer podcasters and content creators, especially here in St. Louis? The news breaks about the best player in the history of the club leaving and exactly 0 mention of it is made on any radio station this morning.

For non-WNBA watchers: The Minnesota Lynx are coached by Cheryl, and they are playing the Indiana Fever. The Fever have a transphobe on their team that has attracted a traveling circus of bigots, first to Portland, and now to Minnesota. Cheryl is doing what the WNBA as a corporation refuses to do.

Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:

Tori Penso, a 40-year-old mom of three, became the first American woman to serve as head referee at a men’s World Cup. “You kind of learn how to take up space. ... That’s the example I use when I talk to my 12-year-old daughter today,” said Penso.

This is a great read, and it's also a lesson. This is what everyone could be doing, at every level. This is the possibility open to every one of us, while every single cry of "we had no choice" was and is a cowardly lie.

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

The iconoclastic Alan Sprints of Hair of the Dog brewing died last night at 66. It is a huge loss not just for the industry, but for so many whose lives he touched. I wrote a long piece on Alan when he closed the brewery four years ago, and I’ll have a remembrance up later this morning.

I’ve taken more shots than argentina today

Can you even imagine how bored Trump is

I wish Argentina a very losing

🇷🇴 Sources: St. Louis City has signed Romanian midfielder Alex Matan on a free transfer. Matan, 26, won MLS Cup with the Columbus Crew in 2023. Current STL head coach Yoann Damet was an assistant on that Crew team. Matan had 6g/3a last season for Panetolikos.

Temwa is inevitable.

We back baby!

Thanks world, they’ve got it from here!

It's 15 minutes to kick-off of the first MLS game in 2 months, the first since the start of this hugely successful World Cup. There is no pregame show. There is no scene-set that explains the first half of the season. There is nothing to welcome new viewers and connect the league to the past month.

Anyway, now on to the most important soccer rivalry match of the week. That's right everyone, it's time for St. Louis City vs. Sporting Nebraska Furniture Mart Parking Lot

Lamine Yamal. You're our only hope.

Oh they’re trying to say it didn’t hit the cable now. The Trump method. Just say it didn’t happen.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Here is a simple breakdown of what the amendments we will be voting on August 4th are.

The Missouri Legislature is crazy if they think we will give them this power. Screw the Republicans and every single thing they try to do to keep us down. Fuck them!

Missouri folks, this is bad. We need everyone out and voting and putting these legislators in their fucking place.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · last mo.

Missourians since 2020 have voted to expand Medicaid, legalized marijuana, raised the minimum wage, repeal the abortion ban, and legalize sports betting. Under a new constitutional amendment that'll be voted on in a month, these would ALL have failed. boltsmag.org/missouri-ame...

I'm sure there will be plenty of overreaction about what happened today. Was it something that no one should have to go through? Of course. But I refuse to judge a city, an area, or a region based on the actions of a few bad people. I'm proud to be from the St. Louis area.

The CITY2 match has been suspended, police have announced that suspects have been apprehended and the area is clear. Fans are exiting the park.

Everything I know about the situation at Energizer Park right now: An incident happened outside of the stadium. I’m told it’s no longer an active situation but precautions are still being taken. Shelter in place is still active.

Everyone’s being instructed to leave the concourse and head to the lower bowl. Security is reporting that there were gunshots fired on 20th street, east of the stadium and security instantly rushed everyone away from the concourse area.
