Dai Dai and RJ were moving backward on the depth chart with Dug, Castillo, CJ and seemingly Battle. They went from 3rd and 4th at the position to probably 4th and 6th. We'll see how the rest of the roster fills out, but we'd probably need to run 3 guards quite a bit (which we might do) for Dai Dai and RJ to even get the minutes they got last year.
I don't remember where I saw it, but I saw someone post something saying that Dai Dai was told he would still be starting most likely, but he was still advised by his ppl to leave. No clue on validity.
deion looks pretty much like deion on twitter today
The Kansas City Current has fired the head of its medical department, Carlos Jimenez, for violating the NWSL’s non-fraternization policy, the club confirmed to The Athletic on Wednesday. Multiple sources briefed on the situation said the policy violation concerned a relationship with a Current player.
Jimenez joined the Current last December. He worked as a physical therapist for the Washington Spirit last season and for the U.S. women’s national team from 2019 to 2021.
“When we learned of (Jimenez’s) actions in violation of club and league policies, he was immediately terminated,” the Current said in a statement. “We remain committed to making sure our policies and practices ensure a safe space for our players and our staff.”
Jimenez did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The NWSL instituted a non-fraternization policy, in addition to a policy on workplace discrimination, harassment, and bullying, as part of the league’s reforms following the allegations of sexual coercion against Paul Riley and subsequent joint investigation.
The non-fraternization policy applies to all NWSL personnel, including players, coaches, owners, managers, trainers, and any other employees of the league or its clubs. The policy states that “NWSL supervisors may not engage in, develop, continue, or pursue any romantic and/or sexual relationships or encounters, even when consensual, with any employee (including NWSL players or trialists) over whom they currently have direct or indirect supervisory authority or management influence.”
A team’s head of medical would fall under the policy’s definition of a “supervisor,” which includes any staff member who could “responsibly direct (employees), including as to performance and medical decisions, address concerns or exert influence over such actions in the interest of the NWSL or a team.”
Jimenez is the second NWSL team staff member to be publicly dismissed for violations of the policy in 2024. Last month, the NWSL announced that Houston Dash goalkeeping coach Matt Lampson had been fired by the club following an investigation concerning NWSL policy violations. The league found that Lampson violated the non-fraternization policy and the code of conduct in place for NWSL coaches, and additionally suspended him through the remainder of the 2024 season.
This project would have cost about 35% to 40% less just 4 years ago. The Dax plan would have cost $200-$250 million tops, and provided a fantastic renovated facility in keeping with the general architectural make up of the rest of the campus and modernizing a historic venue with one of the most interesting histories in college athletics.
They're headed towards a value engineered MLS'ified stadium, that as of right now, they're not even sure they're going to be able to afford doing the whole thing.
Just photoshop Dai Dai in there
No. For real?
United are currently giving up between 20-30 shots per game which is among the worst in all of Europe. This has been mitigated in part by Onana who has settled in and been solid in goal. United also look like scoring at least 2 goals themselves per game. It's just pure chaos - which brings me back to the feeling that Ten Hag has given up. Not sure he'll survive the summer with new ownership.
Watched the Old Firm highlights too yesterday. What a game. Why did they get rid of away fans for this fixture? Sounded like they're bringing them back soon though.
I listen to this podcast called talk of the devils it's Manchester based, from the athletic. Anyway, they're pretty plugged in and they say that Radcliffe is bringing him back.
Boss signs off, no?I thought Ryan Gilbert did but maybe I'm wrong. I may have slandered the good name of Fitz for nothing.
It was Gilbert, Fitz doesn't do crystal balls, but it's his damn website

Yeah, they’re really growing up
I didn't realize you could earmark your donations to the Ahearn fund unless it had six or more zeroes on it.
If it wasn't easier to be lazy, I'd look to see if KU broke out revenue for women's VB since it's been pretty successful and has developed a good following. That's the only women's sport that comes to mind where KU stands out in the conference. But can the revenue gap between KU & K-State realistically be explained by women's VB alone?

This is cap, by the way, we aren't recruiting this guy
Is that a recent change? As of yesterday, I found 3 or 4 sources saying we were but they were all a week or so old at that time.
Those sources were weird college basketball aggregator twitter accounts, right? He's not been on campus and he's not going to be
I guess I was unaware that SI is a shitty aggregator now.

Because they moved it from Arrowhead?
I forgot to mention during the 2nd half the PA guy announced the attendance and that it was the largest mls regular season game attendance in the state of Missouri, and also the 4th largest mls regular season game attendance ever. Then thanked the crowd for taking part in making history. It was one of the most amazing cringe things I've ever heard in my life
