@THEChrisKessell I agree with you across the board that reform is necessary and do not think single entity would withstand antitrust scrutiny now in a labor dispute (which is what it was designed to do).

@THEChrisKessell IMO, if it wasn't for single entity controlling labor costs then the league doesn't make it past 1999, Frazier litigation, let alone to 2002 when SUM launched. MLS was failing due to lack of revenue, travel costs & not owning its own venues - not because of single entity. 2/X

Terrific article by @geoffberkeley and commentary by @THasseltine
The FIFA 2026 World Cup is a tremendous opportunity to leave a positive and impactful legacy on Baltimore and the State of Maryland.

UEFA's Danish exco member Jesper Moller says he expects Chelsea, Real Madrid and Man City to be kicked out of CL semis this week: "The clubs must go, and I expect that to happen on Friday. Then we have to find out how to finish (this season's) Champions League tournament"
