Anyone who votes to merge our military with Israel’s in the NDAA is a traitor. Period. And we will never forget.

[Bruce @FireNewz]

It only took us 250 years to create a Congress so corrupt that they would sell out to a foreign country. What a shame.

One has to wonder if England's players should test themselves in MLS the way Messi has. Perhaps then they wouldn't choke.

@fxrmaIine @esjesjesj Besides the fact that many people are upset that their taxes will keep a terrible person alive, people are upset at the lawyer for doing a victory lap on twitter about getting a horrible persons charges lowered.

Just a reminder a bunch of people from a foreign government saying how much they have loss with the death of Lindsey Graham is a bad thing

[Globe Eye News @GlobeEyeNews]

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has died.

The fact that the GOP establishment ran a psyop where multiple people claimed to have talked to Mitch McConnell on the phone this morning, the day after people started demanding proof of life, only proves that he's dead.

Is America ready for my term limit legislation titled “Three Strokes and You’re Out” ?

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

[Dan Wetzel @DanWetzel]

Maybe making travel soccer even more expensive will help the US finally get good.

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Shout out FIFA. I think we can all agree FIFA is a great organization that always does the right thing and in no way is this about it directly benefiting USMNT
