I'm obviously getting old, because there's some meme I don't get. Either way, I BELIEVE San Jose is pointing out how they got Wondo from Houston for Cam Weaver, who ended his career with a whopping 13 MLS goals.

The last time I was in St. Louis was in 2015, and the downtown area was a ghost town then as well. On Sunday it got busy when the Rams played but was otherwise mostly empty, even during the week.

...and because of the country's travel restrictions the current plan for Canadian teams is "Uhhhhhhhhh................".

There's a plan now. The three teams will play each other 3 times each and whoever gets the most points out of those matches will go to the Canadian Championship final against the winner that comes out of the CPL. After they wrap up mid-September maybe travel between the US and Canada won't be restricted? (No)

Speaking of St. Louis, their USL team (Saint Louis FC) is shutting down after the end of this season, so I fully expect St. Louis City SC to rename themselves as St. Louis FC.

The Athletic just dropped a piece about Dell Loy Hansen.
https://theathletic.com/2027796/2020/08/27/

quote:

“Waibel said, ‘Hey, Dell Loy, this is Kellyn Acosta, one of the guys who scored against us last night,’” recalled Williams. “Kellyn said hello, and the first comment that Dell Loy made was something like, ‘Hey Craig, when are we gonna lynch this guy?’ Kellyn was right there, he said this right in front of him. I just turned around and walked away, and left the conversation… I just walked away. I couldn’t even deal with it.”

quote:

“He runs up to (Harter), and is like ‘Hey, I have a beef with you. You can’t be doing this, you can’t be doing that,’ and all of a sudden, n-word drops,’” said Williams. “His wife was like, ‘Dell Loy, you can’t say that.’ And everybody looked at me, and I’m just like, ‘What? What did I just hear?” And then he said it again.”

quote:

During those negotiations, Rusnak and his agent Aidy Ward, a Black man who founded British-based agency Colossal Sports and represents players like Man City’s Raheem Sterling and Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman, were speaking to each other in English when Hansen interrupted.

“He was like, ‘Is that how you speak African?’” Hansen asked Rusnak and Ward, according to a source with direct knowledge of the conversation and Williams, who was not in the room for the comment.

We've seen a player and a coach get pushed out of the league for racist poo poo this year, looks like we might hit the trifecta now.

They don’t need to investigate poo poo. They know.

Their original statement was weak and made sure to praise him before strongly disagreeing with him.

quote:

I appreciate Dell Loy Hansen’s efforts to build the sport of soccer in Utah. His commitment to MLS, the NWSL and the USL, as well as the game at the youth level, has been significant. However, I strongly disagree with the comments he made today, the way they were expressed, and they do not reflect the views of MLS.

This is a time for all of us to work together in the pursuit of racial equality and social justice. Major League Soccer and all of its clubs will continue to support and create initiatives that enact real change.

Remember last year, when Mike Petke got terminated as RSL manager for melting down and writing a giant p-slur on a whiteboard, making a big deal showing it to the refs?

This is the first step towards him either selling the team quickly or having a really ugly drawn-out battle with the league(s), made worse by the fact that he outright owns Rio Tinto Stadium.

If he is half as good as the Higuain the league already has, I think he'll do fine.

Whoa, the fanbase has been clamoring for this. Wasn't expecting it though. I think the Athletic just interviewed Thelwell like two weeks back and he thought Armas was doing a great job. Curious who they'll bring in.
