Choosing Orlando for a summer mini-tournament was always dumb as hell, looks even worse now that Florida is  in full-on pandemic mode

 

Is it 6 of the Dallas players have it who are currently at the hotel?

US Soccer held their annual National Council meeting at the 2021 Annual General Meeting today. Amongst the resolutions and bylaws and budget approvals, there was a deeply awful period when they opened the floor for comments from members about the repeal of Policy 604-1, which required US players to stand during the American national anthem and was put in place as a direct response to Megan Rapinoe kneeling in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. The US Soccer board of directors voted to repeal the policy last June, saying “It was become clear that this policy was wrong and detracted from the important message of Black Lives Matter.”
okay, okay. cool. good.

One member who commented at great length was newly-elected Athletes Council member Seth Jahn, who played for the US 7-a-side Paralympic team. Jahn spent seven minutes espousing deeply racist, white supremacist rhetoric that claimed everything from there being no data substantiating police brutality against Black people to arguments attempting to minimize the monstrosity of Black slavery. There was a cursory attempt made to curb Jahn’s statement, telling him he had 30 more seconds, at which point he spoke for nearly another two minutes.

 

This fucking guy.

 

 

Still not removed though? seems weird?

 

 

oh he said a bad and we hope it doesn't happen again.

Yunus Musah chose us over England, Italy, and Ghana (mostly England). Pretty huge get, seems like more of a CM down the line, which pretty much means when all healthy one of Pulsiic, Reyna, Adama, McKennie, Musah, or Aaronson is missing out. There's probably a bunch more in the mix, too. We might be onto something.

Think this might be our golden generation of talent and we don’t have the Dempseys, Donovans, or Howards of the world (ie: marquee names). Feels a bit like we have some “no names” which is difficult to say because some of them have more talent than all three aforementioned players combined. They just don’t have the household name recognition, yet.

Gio, Weston, Pulisic and Dest are probably the stars of the team .... would throw Adams into that if he could stay fit, Mensah is a huge one and hopefully the shite storm at Valencia doesn't ruin him.
