Painting brick is lunacy. This monstrosity's "murdered out" look isn't even edgy or distinctive, it's just baffling. WHAT is the thinking here???

Fantastic profile of Tom, who is one of the hardest-working content creators in US soccer. He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. He travels. He vlogs. He podcasts. He covers all levels of soccer with a dedication that is unmatched by anyone in the St. Louis area.

New plaque will mark notorious St. Louis slave prison site near Busch Stadium The bronze historical plaque will be installed at the site of a slave prison once owned by Bernard M. Lynch, a nationally known trader of enslaved men, women and children.

In St. Louis, a historical marker is going up for a prison where a slave trader kept Black people he bought and sold. It’ll be located on what sits there now: a parking garage for the Cardinals baseball stadium. The team declined to contribute money toward the marker. www.stlpr.org/culture-hist...

Where did U.S. women’s soccer get its start? Inside the story of the Craig League Long before Title IX, there was a women's soccer league in St. Louis that has had a far-reaching impact on the game

A few years back I talked to the only two living members of the Craig League - they have since passed away - and went deep into the history of the first-ever women’s soccer league in the USA (or was it?) - @meglinehan.com with the assist on this one. www.nytimes.com/athletic/345...

All across the USA there are forgotten spaces of American soccer. At dawn, I’m standing at one in St. Louis.

Here, at the corner of N Market & N Spring St, the young women of the Craig League played what’s often cited as the first organized women’s league match in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ history.

A little addendum to your comment about how there was some debris leftover from a previous game played at that field. After I finished my postgame interview with Alen Bradaric I looked up into the stands and saw some @stlouligans.bsky.social cleaning up the trash in the stands. They’re classy gents

You should always go support local soccer in person. But if you can’t the next best thing is a Soccer Zombie video. Nobody else is doing it like him. He truly gets you into the game and behind the scenes.
