$3B more than their Forbes valuation.

 

I thought pro/rel prevented this from happening...

 

Pro/Rel and free soccer.

A tragic day in Portuguese football as Boavista are forced to shut down and cease all operations. The end of a historic 123-year old institution.

It does. Boavista didn’t go bankrupt. It got selected to be one of Earth’s representatives in the Intergalactic Secret Football Cup. It’s a great honor awarded only to the pro-reliest clubs on Earth.

MLS will never help defend this planet against dishonor in the eyes of extraterrestrials.

 

Another club will be formed, they'll play in the same stadium and eventually work their way back up through the system and people will say "you see, pro/rel yay!".

 

So Reggie Cannon's never going to get his money?

 

Yikes!

Charleston-Sacramento has zero shots on target at halftime. After the WC third place game: the soccer gods giveth, and the soccer gods taketh away.

(Technically zero shots on target, at least. Sacramento did put one in the net, but it was called back for a handball.)

 

Las Vegas Trail Blazers? Or maybe they move up the road and become the SuperSonics?

Brian Windhorst says the Portland Trailblazers could be leaving Portland:

“It’s getting worse by the day. The rhetoric between the politicians and the Trailblazers is deteriorating. On Monday, the Blazers board of Directors have a meeting. And i have no idea what’s going to come… pic.twitter.com/z2FMEKKL9M

Oh no!

Anyway….

 

I wouldn't trust that source.

 

Would you like some Gaelic football on that?

Seventy-five years after a curse condemned it to endless defeat, Mayo won the all-Ireland final.
