Breaking soccer media news: Ken Fadner, the publisher of Soccer America for the last 20 years, announces that he is retiring and putting the title up for sale. "I will be entertaining offers for the Soccer America publications, website and trademark," he says in a letter to subscribers.

At least one of Nigeria, Zambia and Malawi won't make it to the WAFCON 2026 knockouts (and therefore the 2027 World Cup). Re-read my analysis of Malawi's shock victory over the Super Falcons on debut to get up to speed before the deciders: @www.thecutback.com www.thecutback.com/p/malawi-nig...

Analysis: How Malawi pulled off the shock of WAFCON 2026 on debut against Nigeria

Honestly, in this political climate, often no policy is better than having a policy. If there isn’t a policy then there isn’t one to be enforce on players. And putting an overly liberal participation policy in place risks putting leagues on the radar of anti-trans groups or even the president.

I asked about any updates on policy regarding the inclusion of trans athletes. "Our policy is our practice" is the answer I received. That has been the standard answer for a while. Any changes would have to be in consultation with the NWSLPA.

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

Dying at the right-wing activists that (1) held a call with Todd Blanche in which Blanche made a lot of anti-abortion promises, (2) said "uh this is off the record" like doing so would magically ward off journalists, and then (3) UPLOADED IT TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

The acting attorney general’s conversation with Trump appears to have taken place just hours after the president publicly mused about pulling Blanche’s nomination and instead trying to push through a fund that could be used to compensate Jan. 6 rioters and others who claim to have been persecuted by the Biden administration.
Announcements at the beginning and end of the Intercessors for America call stated that it was “not intended for press purposes.” A speaker told attendees that the call was “not on the record” and directed any journalists on the line to hang up.
POLITICO was not on the call on Thursday when it took place and did not agree to any limits on reporting. Audio of the session was posted on YouTube by Intercessors for America, which calls itself “the largest national prayer ministry dedicated to praying for our government and leaders.”
As of Monday, the recording remained publicly accessible.

Missouri voters just blocked a Republican-led effort to raise the bar for passing citizen-led constitutional amendments. Under current law, ballot measures require a simple majority for passage. Amendment 4 would have required ballot initiatives to win a majority in each congressional district.
