As more states legalize gambling it’s likely we’ll see more gambling problems/scandals involving players and coaches in all sports.
Of note: MGM is the official MLS betting partner while FanDuel, Bet99, Pointsbet, and multiple regional casinos sponsor individual MLS clubs.

Why reward Canada with special access and high prestige memberships when its Prime Minister openly scoffs at meetings its NATO defense spending obligations?
Let's reward countries that pull their weight, like Poland, Australia, and South Korea.

The US Open Cup is such a unique and cool product in the broader context of US sports. It’s a dumb move for MLS to not make a bigger deal out of it.
Quote Tweet
Don Garber at the USSF board meeting, expresses MLS' disappointment in the setup of the the US Open Cup (streams, fields, etc): "They are not games that we would want our product to be shown to a large audience so frankly I'm not all that disappointed that the audience is small."

Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. There are no doubts about that anymore.
Behind the scenes, it’s now understood that Leo’s father Jorge communicated the decision to PSG already one month ago due to the project.
It was the final breaking point.

Not to get political but we should make life easier for parents and families. It’s not great that child care in New England is practically a second mortgage
