The Athletic did a good story on the infamous USMNT photo shoot. If you have a sub (or I hear the mobile app allows a free article per month), the article is so well-done, even if like us you've seen the pics a million times. The shoot is so incongruous with how male athletes are photographed, everyone wonders, "Why did they allow themselves to be photographed that way"? The players were there with the photographer by themselves, without US Soccer there. USMNT was still a small operation and the press guy, Michael Kammarman, was working a media day at the team hotel. The article does a pretty good job discussing the "effeminophobic" context of why the shoot is so ridiculed/hilarious. A few quotes. The photog on Donovan's famous pic, just so you know you didn't mis-interpret it: Unfortunately Donovan declined to be interviewed for the article. (Alas, Pablo did not, either.) Clint Mathis said “I’m just happy I’m not the water man.” This is so Bruce Arena--the author went to Foxboro to interview Arena about the shoot: Kasey Keller: I imagine times have changed quite a bit. Hard not to think that the attitude Keller talks about is a reason why the USMNT seemed to punch above their weight so often back then.
Arsenal -- very hard to watch these days although I really like a few of their players -- seem to be going through a period of adjustment.
Meanwhile, the richest man in Africa promises a bid to take Arsenal from Kroenke. Sounds like people in other countries have just about as much respect for Stan as we do. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

Alan Koch comes to Switchbacks with reputation for getting best of his bunch https://gazette.com/sports/alan-koc...cle_1702050a-5064-11ea-a0a8-cb1bec908647.html
Let's hope he does. Switchbacks haven't been successful or very fun to watch the last couple of seasons.

It's 2020, but I thought this was the place to put this: Major sports paper in Argentina @DiarioOle is reporting that the @LAGalaxy will be paying $20 million for Pavon. 😳 https://t.co/GUS7gxkexb— TheSoccerMinute (@soccer_minute) March 29, 2020
