As far as I can tell the real idea is to get a new stadium so that PSV can have access to ancillary revenue opportunities ie bars and restaurants, that currently are impossible given the location of Mapfre Stadium. So Precourt needs a new stadium and he doesn’t care which city gives it to him.

Not during US soccer season. I grew up near Columbus and later lived in Austin for 10 years, Austin is brutally hot from May through September, horrible for soccer. Summer in Columbus varies between “quite nice” and “muggy but still tolerable,” Austin is unbearable almost every day. If soccer were a winter sport in…

The general feeling in Columbus is that Garber and precourt had this planned from the time he bought the Crew.I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this was all Garber’s idea.

I may be only one data point, but this Austin resident sure as fuck doesn’t want the Crew moving here in this fashion. I’d love an MLS team in Austin, but not like this.

And for damn sure there better not be any public money in a stadium.

if you want a team in Austin, go through the expansion process like every other team has had to do. Don’t steal a team from a city. And on top of that, I can tell you, you don’t want Anthony precourt as your owner.

I’m pretty on-the-record here as proudly being this site’s Cici’s caucus. Papa John’s benefitted greatly in that experiment for being served early, meaning the slices were at least lukewarm and not room temperature or...worse. Papa makes a fine trash pizza—better than Pizza Hut and Lil Caesar’s; worse than an actually…

I’d love to see this play out. It’s a travesty what’s happening in Columbus right now. The Crew are a founding member of MLS and their stadium is fine. If Precourt wants a team in Austin he should go through the expansion process.

I Was Publicly Humiliated By Papa John

Two rich white dudes who don’t have to work instead choose to spend their time arguing over who gets another million.

Has anyone seen the chief of police and the mad pooper at the same time?

There is no way someone hasn’t recognized her. There is something larger at play here and the whole thing stinks. Someone has to be protecting her identity, because there’s loads of evidence, especially since the security footage is pretty clear. WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HER?! The circle of lies keeps curling out. …

Seems like CSPD ought to be less worried about the calls coming from journalists, and more worried about the calls

Incredible what Spicer will do for a few bucks: sell his soul to Satan* and awkwardly mock himself in the most self deprecating way possible.

If anything good comes of Spicer’s appearance let it be the final collapse of the “Hollywood cares about anything” PR stunt.

While I don’t disagree with your general point regarding our side needing to be better than the right, I think you’re splitting hairs in this particular instance. While I don’t think she should go to jail, we have to call out public figures (or the spokespeople of public figures) who appear to suggest that people get…

with one of the more recent examples being when White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders blatantly abused her platform to declare that ESPN should fire contributor Jemele Hill

I notice a lot of conservatives have been all “What if a conservative had said what Jemele Hill said?” as though Trump didn’t keep his show after saying Obama wasn’t eligible to be president.

The chutzpah here is mind-blowing. You’d think someone covered of rape would have just disappeared. But he actually played HS football again after completing his prison sentence? No wonder he thinks he’s been wronged here.

How about a little different take on Harley Quinn?
