Tickets are going fast for Sunday’s Reign game - basically nothing left on the east side or lower SE corner, but they’ve opened additional upper sections behind the south goal. Weather should be great, don’t miss seeing the Tiny Dragon in person one last time! www.reignfc.com/news/ways-to...

Last week, we headed out to Starfire to chat with @reignfc.com forward Mia Fishel about her season, the club's playoff push, settling into Seattle, and much more. Tune in to the interview on YouTube: youtu.be/k1uNQhGg5r8 #SeattleReignFC #WitnessTheReign👑#SeattleSports

It will be Jess Fishlock's last regular-season match. Check out these #SeattleReign ticket deals: $10 tickets!!!!! www.gofevo.com/event/10tick... Kids 12 and Under free: www.reignfc.com/kids-attend-... Plus a Fishlock Bobblehead, scarf, or Reign Yeti ticket bundle! www.reignfc.com/ticket-offers

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Anti-trans bigots are coming to NWSL games looking to provoke violence or other incidents that could go viral. This is the back-up plan: harass and endanger anyone who stands up to them. NWSL is going to have to contend with this. Kicking the can down the road will put too many fans at risk.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Reign fans, stay alert and have a plan if any of these shitlords show up at Lumen next Sunday. You know where in the stadium to find a lot of handheld signs on short notice if needed

Sending employees a phishing test email telling them they are getting rings then making them take cybersecurity classes instead should be a 1 year suspension for Dolan MINIMUM. Jail time would be better.

Hey, at least none of them own a women’s sports team, right? Right???

Seattle Reign have another big match tomorrow in their push for the playoffs, as they head on the road to face 6th-place Utah. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/matc...

Lots of things can be decided this weekend in the NWSL. The POR-NC and SEA-UTA games on Friday night could clarify much of the playoff field

Wacky Wednesday WoSo fact … Maddie Mercado of @reignfc.com is the first NWSL player to score 10+ goals in one season without a single one of those goals coming from her right foot! She's got 5 header goals, 5 lefties … plus 3 game-winners.

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.

Oops! Someone grabbed the Mondesir kit...but I still have a James-Turner kit, a Dahlien kit, and a Fishel kit! Same deal! Choose the incentive on the right, donate the appropriate amount to help kids get the healthcare they need, and I'll send you your chosen kit! bit.ly/CGELGW26

If the thought of Reign FC getting a home playoff and Thorns missing the playoffs would bring you joy... here's a link for that: watmildon.github.io/nwsl-dreams-...

I am sorry, which company is this? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I suppose at this point it shouldn't be a shock that the government isn't following its own published guidelines on these things bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Zambia played in Uganda, which has travel restrictions due to the current Ebola outbreak. If this CDC page is accurate, if people are healthy upon return to the US they're asked to monitor for symptoms for three weeks but there's no quarantine www.cdc.gov/ebola/situat...

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

You’ve seen stutter step penalties but how about this stutter walk penalty in the Caribbean Cup semifinal?

Depending on which stats model you prefer the Reign are either long shots or have roughly even odds of making the playoffs, but they need to take care of business over their final three games. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/reig...

Despite promises of a shared stadium, state legal frameworks gave NFL's Seahawks master lease control over Lumen Field. This leaves pro soccer teams like Seattle Reign as subtenants with high costs and low priority. Lawmakers can update this outdated setup. olympiatime.com/2026/10/10/r...

Technical analysis punditry continues to be nothing more than astrology dressed up in a business suit

This isn't shade so much as how the sausage is made: *Every* availability I've ever been on with Jessica Berman (or Lisa Baird) has seen someone ask about expansion. For one, people click/share those links. When journos tell editors what came up, editors say "write up the expansion quote."

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

The most psychotic possible framing of this archive.is/202609271858...

"storytelling" coug, bro, telling a story requires a point of view and connection to subject, not just regurgitating story-shaped content that might contain roughly correct game facts anybody can look at a box score and learn who scored what goal or carried which try, that's not why we read

Apologies for saying it so often but so much of what gets people to latch onto club soccer in the US rests entirely on people doing things for free

I do not mean to single out LeBron James, but it feels completely bizarre to me that an active player is allowed to promote "prediction markets" but would get banned for life for using that service to bet ten dollars on their own team to win a game.

"In conjunction with her new beat, Shefte will continue covering the Kraken but will focus on big-picture stories, in-depth features and analysis." 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Seattle Reign have locked down one of the league's most promising young defenders, signing Jordyn Bugg through the 2030 season. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/reig...

You simply can’t get this level of insight and detail into what people are talking on this site about without AI

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

I updated my site to let folks play around with different scenarios to see what might be needed to make the playoffs: playoffs.alisongale.com

Five years ago in the middle of a reckoning over abuse and misconduct, the players of the NWSL were debating if they should save the league or burn it down. They picked both. On the last five years, free to read at @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...
