If you’re white, and you wear a Harlem Globetrotters uniform without blackface, I promise you everyone is going to understand you are supposed to be a Harlem Globetrotter.
Although Rebecca ultimately doesn’t sell the whole club, I still think it was hilarious that Harriet Walter’s character had the same piece of advice for her children in Succession and Ted Lasso: just sell the damn thing.
Listen. There is a lot of animosity on the TL about this game. Can we all just come together to agree that giving trophies to the owners, and interviewing them, before the players just sucks ass.
Best piece of advice I could give anyone working on the digital content side of sports teams is identify the most charismatic players you have, build a relationship with them, and then help them showcase that charm. The content will always be better.

Let’s rush to defense of an administration that literally denies the humanity of millions because someone had the audacity to point out SHS wears a smoky eye shadow. Great strategy for 2018. Sarah, what is even happening??

I forgot who said it (and it was related to the teams, but I think it applies to women's sports vs. men's sports): it's not a talent gap. It's an investment gap.
New year, new me...new job!
I'll be starting 2024 working socials for

So follow those accounts if you haven't, and look for great content!
Last night was my final night working with Phoenix Rising.
The outpouring of love I received was something I will never forget.
It probably won’t hit me hard until later, but I’m so happy last night got to be a joyful celebration with the people I love and care about.
So many people, but especially women, are mistreated in this industry because it’s viewed as a “dream job” and so many high-level people hold that over lower employees to justify terrible work conditions.
This shit has to stop.
This is all I can say, but please know that NWSL employees deserve protection and safety, and we deserve to be believed.

They actually did a profile on the US’s top ice dance team and it was basically three minutes of them talking about how complicated their relationship is because they’re exes 😂
With Kelley O’Hara now retiring, it’s time to write my soccer musical starring Kelli O’Hara as Kelley O’Hara with a special guest appearance by Kelley O’Hara.
So I know this happens in sports and music but does this happen in, like, book circles?
Are guys like “Name an F. Scott Fitzgerald book that isn’t The Great Gatsby”?
This was pretty cool. I respect the hell out of the social media and digital teams across
@USLChampionship
and the incredible work they do on a daily basis. And thank you to our amazing fans who are constantly engaging with us. A blessed way to close out the decade.
So happy for my former

co-workers!
I really enjoyed making this graphic.
What did I tell you Rising fans!
Boschtradamus was never worried!

Kings of California!
Had thought of these as something I would want to post if I still worked at Rising.
Then I figured I could just make these myself and post on my account!

The kids chanting in this video are fans for life. The diehards who have been there from the beginning get to have a moment with their team (especially since the final was on the road).
It doesn’t have to be big and extravagant. It just has to exist.
I promise this is the last sappy thing I will post about Rising (for now lol).
I was overwhelmed by all the kind words from everyone I spoke with when I told them I was leaving.
And this banner being made was just…man, it was cool.

Once had a doctor make me do an MRI, while uninsured, because he didn’t believe me when I told him I was passing a kidney stone and just needed pain meds until I passed it.
Shocker…it was kidney stones!
I don’t my practice gratitude enough, especially when I allow imposter syndrome to take over.
But we’re not doing that in 2024! I’m so grateful I got to work my first

camp last week, which included matches in Argentina and Uruguay!
These are my “send to mom” photos.
Super excited to say I will be a faculty associate at

this semester! Just teaching a class, so Rising still has to deal with me. JMC 306 squad.

After the world burns to the ground, all that will be left is DeMarcus Beasley and Rafa Marquez staring at each other on opposite ends of a charred Crew Stadium.
Who did it better?
The last couple of days have been a whirlwind, but yesterday we officially said goodbye to Phoenix. Today we’ll say goodbye to Arizona.
Thank you to everyone who made my time here feel like home. I’m going to miss you all terribly.
Soccer games that make you sit on the edge of your seat may be a thing of the past. After analyzing 26 years worth of European soccer matches, scientists have determined the games have become more predictable over time.
When all the Columbus statues have been torn down, you meet the final Columbus statue boss in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. This thing is an absolute unit. 360 feet tall.
So many people I recognized from the earliest days of Rising. So great to see how happy they are. It wasn’t always easy to support (it never is). But finally getting to bask in the glory of a title is a wonderful thing.
@transscribe
It’s very disheartening to see otherwise seemingly reasonable people get so defensive when talking about different kinds of privilege. Great to see
@AOC
not just tackle that issue but take ownership in just the idea of talking about your own privileges.
I worked really hard on this and can’t believe it’s a real thing now!
First 1,000 fans who come to the Rising match tomorrow will get one. Come out and join us!

This is why I thought some of the critique of Morgan was unfair. Whatever Vlatko was trying to do, she wasn’t the right type of player to do it.
And yet, i thought there were some moments she did a good job getting the ball to a teammate in dangerous spots.
This is a bad coulumn. Plain and simple.
One doesn’t even have to be anti-MLS or pro Indy XI to have written something with nuance that actually assesses what this means for the community.
It’s annoying seeing people who are bad at their jobs have this kind of platform.
I want to take a moment to talk about how special last night was. We may not have come away with three points but we did come away with so much more.
10.5k people got to experience a Phoenix Rising match. That's incredible.
