You’ll never see politics completely removed from sports. People will always use politics as a reason for supporting for or against a team or a national team sport. A country getting the rights to host the Olympics will always be politically motivated. The same thing can be said about hosting the World Cup. The Classico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is political, over the people in Catalonia wanting to be a separate independent nation from Spain. Then you might come across a team like St. Pauli, whose fans are entirely political and mixes the politics of Hamburg with soccer.

Aren’t they supporting the community by bringing in that flag? The stadium is after all, located in Hamtramck, which has a very large Arab and Muslim community. For me it shows that they’re being inclusive. How interesting you never felt the need to take issue with the fact that they keep on introducing the rainbow flag during games. I’ve just recently joined your channel so if you have then forgive me. But people really can’t keep politics out of sports, whether that’s people bringing in a flag or NLF players taking a knee during the national anthem.

In fairness, you mention that Oakland can’t get many people into the current stadium. Their current stadium is in Hayward, a little bit down the east Bay from Oakland. There are those who love anything that has to do with Oakland. And the coliseum is iconic for the city. This might not be a good comparison, but that same stadium, while it was meant for baseball, was the same stadium that the Raiders played and that’s why I believe you can have soccer played there.

I’m happy to see Reno potentially rejoining. I also like that they’re considering joining League One. I do believe that all teams try to join USL should begin in League One. I’ll also admit that I could be biased because my community in Southern California will be getting a team in League One next season (Antelope Valley). But I believe that it’s best to begin in League one, spend the time building up the team and then they can potentially get moved up to the Championship. Nothing against Jacksonville, Brooklyn or Milwaukee for joining the Championship next season, but it would be nice if they could begin in League One at first. If Brooklyn were to have chosen that route, I believe it could have been an interesting rivalry with Westchester County also joining League One next season. Same thing if Milwaukee were to join League One instead. It would have been interesting to see a rivalry between them and Madison. Rivalries that League One would benefit from. Just how I know having three teams in California will help League One and create a rivalry with the teams.

Moving to the collosium is an odd choice but hopefully it works for them

This franchise needs to get a coach that understands the landscape and that doesn’t turn players away who th out even looking at them. They are exactly where they should be. They have players in there backyard that they don’t even look at. It’s sad. They are one of the worst teams I have e seen and a joke a an organization.

I agree with this. What the hell does Palestine or Ukraine flags for that matter have to do with soccer?

Having a promotion and relegation Is very interesting and Four USL championship It might make you improve

Dude there’s nothing wrong with Lexington wanting to move up. And you can’t just put in promotion/relegation without a stable fan base. Otherwise you risk losing fans if a club is relegated

Lexington joins USL Championship!!!! Wow they must be really good this season, they must be beating every.......uh, guys they're last place..

They could use the football configuration for games. And attendance was bad not because of the stadium. But cause Fisher wouldn’t invest in the stadium and the team.

“Why would people go there?” First of all, it’s a historic venue that we Oakland sports fans cherish, and will keep coliseum workers employed for a year. Second, we’re coming back to Oakland after two years, and it has great transit access there. Third, the plan is to play at the coliseum only for a year before the Malibu Lot Stadium (adjacent to the coliseum) is built in 2026. The A’s leaving is whole a different issue (Fisher never invested in the team or the stadium). “Oakland is dying” in the outside perception. However, the Oakland Arena the past year broke records in terms of Revenue from all events there (Disney on ice, concerts, etc). And Downtown Oakland has recovered most than any since the pandemic.

Lexington plays in a crappy stadium 30 mins away from Lexington right now. Attendance won’t be an issue

Good job with the video!

I was really excited to see a channel that focused on USL but this is honestly just disappointing. This video just reeks of naivete and an unwillingness to grapple with the subject, hiding behind a veil of nonchalance and an appeal to something that has never existed. Sports and politics have and always will be intertwined. Rejecting this is dismissing the very essence and fabric of sports itself, doubly so for a supporter's section. When Palestine is free and the history of this time is reflected upon, I hope you acknowledge your failings, or at least have the wherewithal to know not to share them.

Detroit city is almost more about the political views of the northern guard than it is about the team itself, almost every song has swearing in it, A LOT of the fans are very vulgar and create a very toxic atmosphere around the ground. They try and justify it with causes however in my opinion it just ends up blocking off main stream media outlets and other fans from being able to cover them or check them out. It is going to be very interesting to see as they move into a much nicer ground if the club is going to continue to allow them to be the first thing you think about when it comes to the club. Detroit City FC has potential to grow but I think right now the supporters group is a bit too far on the extremist side and its going to hinder them in the USL landscape and in the American soccer landscape as a whole.

Btw this weekend is opening weekend for the USL Super League.

Btw soccer has always had some form of politics. All sports. The 1972 men’s basketball gold medal game, a water polo game at that same Olympics where blood was drawn and turned the pool red, the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey game between USA & USSR, 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin during the regime of a certain tiny mustache guy. Always. Politics in sports isn’t new.

And yeah Detroit found out that some things can’t be seen on tv. It’s the same with entering a business where you can’t wear a shirt with vulgarity. No matter if you’re a liberal or a conservative. You’re not allowed to do that. Plus don’t forget Michigan is heavy with an Arab community.

The Northern Guard Supporters have made it their mission to be the bad boys of American soccer supporters. Even before they played in USL. They did this in the NPSL than continued when they went “pro” in NISA. They always talked smack on MLS (had that FCK MLS sign hanging at matches after word started that MLS were looking at Detroit for potential expansion). And because of their association at the time with MLS the USL took strays as well. NGS presented Detroit as the ones who do soccer the “right way” by not going “corporate”. But many of us saw that when the time would come they would take the money and join MLS or USL. And we saw what happened once they saw they messed up with NISA. Now they’re USL and it was a great site to see them humbled by not winning a trophy after they easily won every trophy while with NISA

I think usl Needs to have friendly's European teams It might improve more and help that league Grow That's my opinion

Usl and mls need to come together

I think RI has the best kits in the league. How about doing a video on USL goalie kits? RI and OC are tops IMO.

As an FC Tulsa fan and Tulsan, I really want OKC Energy to come back so we could see the Black Gold Derby. UP THE TULSA 🤍💛🤍💛

Spanish announcers better be like College Football announcers that let the band play after a big play and then comment on it. Im hispanic but that loooooong Goal scream is too much for me.

I think it’s great that Oklahoma City (an original club) coming back from hiatus is great for the USL-C. And Reno coming back to the USL is also great (Maybe we can play them in the USL Cup soon). One thing that I do not want USL to do is expand more teams at the USL-C level. For me 24 teams seems about right. I believe only USL-1 should continue to expand for various reasons.

You’re awesome bro - keep this up. We need more USL news 💪🏼🫡

Jordan far got stabbed in the back I think not having him this year is one of the reasons why we’re at the bottom of the table

This team needs a better coach. WAY better coach.

Guy from Europe here. If there is money keep Miami in League 2 as amature/semipro devlopment team to keep brand and move main team as new entity to the other state and stay in Championship if money will be an isue then drop down after seaosn.

Hey if you believe that Jesus (fully God and fully man) came and died on a cross for our sins and was buried and rose again for our justification and trust in Jesus for your salvation then you’ll be saved.

Univison isn't a company anymore, it TelevisaUnivison who gained the rights. The games will only be on TUDN not Univison 😅

Real Madrid 2015-2020 pretty much all white and beautiful. I like those classic looks

No man, USMNT the main problem is players and coaches. They both were lacking knowledge desire to win the tournament even keep changing the coach but it won't work out to win the world cup and copa America. USMNT support only 10% of people there. How do you expected to win? I feel sorry following years men players were show off to another countries can win but it reality does not. USMNT make people are having hallucination to get thropy in final world cup, the coach whatever just hired a job but keep losing never win, blame to the government, referee and the coach when the team had exit world cup and copa america tournament. I know the problem is american players are not worthy skills in the game and coach terrible failed managed their players.

Now I don’t mind if a USL club goes to MLS cause he keeps that club even though it encroaches on USL. My bigger problem is when MLS puts a new team there to undermine USL. Like Saint Louis FC folded to make way for St. Louis City even though some the owners owner Saint Louis FC. And of course San Diego Loyal folding thanks to San Diego FC. I have said MLS could be the top league but work together with USL to grow the game here. Teams across the country in almost every state playing giving locals a chance to cheer for a pro team or play for it

US will never be top world soccer power as long as the sport in US is dominated by pay to play system. So so much money being made by coaches but not producing anything beyond mediocre players with money

Of course Seattle took it serious. They won this like 4 or 5 times and they always used this to test out some young guys. Seattle is one of those that take it serious and love the tournament. Not every MLS owner was ok with the decision on who is playing.

Although Sacramento & New Mexico lost they put up a fight.

You were on my recommendations

Canada! Jesse Marsch! LFG!!!!!

To many things to do in south Florida like go to the beach and relax then go to a game all the way to FIU 😂I rather pay for MLS pass and watch Messi play from my couch 🛋

will the games still be streamed for free on youtube? If they are then im ecstatic that the USL gets a good deal

Its really thanks to you that im doing my best to be informed on the usl. Your youtube channel is the only one i could find on the subject of daily Usl news, and i hope your channel grows man. Dont stop, your content is needed. I learned about univision's deal from you and i was goin crazy. Keep going big dog.
