The full transcript of the exchange between U.S. Soccer chief commercial officer David Wright and MLS commissioner Don Garber over the U.S. Open Cup - an unusual amount of criticism for the public session of a USSF board meeting:

![David Wright to Don Garber: Yeah, Don, I appreciate that, and I think we concur. We understand that the Open Cup is not where we all want it to be, and we're committed to getting there. It also takes resources, and something that we're spending a lot of time thinking about [is] – I think it is a natural opportunity to take a step back now, particularly that we've got a renewed interest from media partners, which I think is a critical component to this. But you're right to call out [that] there's other areas of the property that we've got to continue to hone in [on] and refine as we think to the future. Garber responds: We look forward to participating with you on that.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvYJvYOWIAQEAH5?format=png&name=900x900)

Can’t believe he didn’t say “own Burnley”
Quote Tweet
A few weeks ago I asked @JJWatt what he wanted to do in his next career. His hilarious answer amounted to “everything” but most importantly he wants to go to college football games, park in the regular parking lot and drink a beer and play cornhole with fans. This was so great.

I have both lived in New York and ridden the subway and stepped in when somebody suffering issues was harassing somebody on the subway in New York and am happy to say you can’t just kill a dude.
Quote Tweet
We don't know enough to judge what happened to Jordan Neely, but lots of people who don't live in New York and lots of people who don't ride the subway have a lot of opinions on this and they need to take a seat. It's working class New Yorkers who have to face down this violence.

It’s really funny that Elise Stefanik could literally write exactly the same tweet but substitute Donald Trump for Joe Biden and her intended audience would take it as evidence of the exact opposite argument.
Quote Tweet
Since Joe Biden took office, over 34 THOUSAND pounds of deadly fentanyl has been seized at the southern border.
That is enough fentanyl to kill every person on the planet.
We must pass the Secure our Border Act to ensure a nation that is SAFE.

Truly we live in a golden age of the goys telling Jews how to be Jewish.
Quote Tweet
Arkansas has a law requiring all contractors to affirm they reject BDS as a condition of doing business with the state. Now the state won't give a Jewish doctor the money he's due because of his religious objection Israeli policy.

Like I’ve been alarmed on the subway. It’s scary and unpleasant. I’ve had to step into a situation late at night on the subway because somebody was getting harassed and it’s really really frightening in those moments. But, like, you can’t kill a guy over it and not go to jail!

You just don’t get to murder somebody because they’re alarming you on the subway. Society really can’t work that way! You gotta like get arrested and stuff. This sounds dumb and simple but, like, apparently it’s a thing that needs to be said!

Feels like we got a decade of people saying “this is peak TV” followed by people making more TV and now the writers are on strike and the streaming services aren’t making money.
And yeah it turns out when people said you can’t have more TV than, this there was a reason.

The United States would like to see China push Russia to end its war in Ukraine, @USAmbChina says at @StimsonCenter.
"What we need to see from China is to push Russia to withdraw its troops and so that Ukraine can have all of its territory back," he says.

Occasionally I try to self-assess about my extremely strong beliefs about the correctness of helping Ukraine defend itself and whether I’m actually accidentally talking myself into being a neocon.

I continue to support the US aiding Ukraine's defense, but we can make that case without ginning it up into yet another existential conflict.
This is bad, irresponsible journalism.

The biggest problem with Ron DeSantis’s campaign against Donald Trump continues to be his refusal to tell voters why they should vote for him instead of Donald Trump.
Quote Tweet
It's early, so voters first picked as many names as they are *considering* for GOP nom — then picked one they would vote for today
Trump at 58% vote, winning more of his considerers than anyone else
DeSantis trails by a lot, but has room to grow among those considering him
