Issa WATCH PARTYYYY well not officially but me and my friends are going and you should come. Full disclosure there will be Miami fans in the audience
Would love to join if so, and maybe get a group together? I know watch parties have been hosted at Paddy’s in the past
I know you guys have heard about the protests that broke out recently. Chi Osse was detained and many others were arrested. Violently. By the NYPD.
Normal people would just do the standard protests. I think taking the protests to these Brooklyn FC games would work as well. Not only will we have our voices heard in NYC, but it'll be all over National TV, which will make other SGs around the country aware of this and hopefully replicate the same thing.
We can't be quiet. We have to speak up.
A.C.A.B.
I took everyone’s advice and called around to see what BK sports bars would play a USL game this Saturday at 4pm. The problem is it’s March Madness, the final 4 in basketball this weekend. Here are my options-
Banter- they said it’d be packed and I wouldn’t get any sound bc of bball. I’d also rather not go to Williamsburg if can avoid it
Paddy’s Bk- the owner and I are texting to see if he has ESPN select lol
Black Horse Pub- they’ll play it, but I need to get there early
McMahon Public House- they’ll play it but I think they said no sound
I am not a big sports person, so don’t know my way around the sports bars really. I have an old friend in town and just want to drink some good beers and eat good food in addition to watching my brother play, which admittedly I am very intense about. What do you all recommend?
My brother plays in the USL (not BK fc) and I’m gonna be at a brewery this Saturday and want to try to catch his game at a sports bar nearby when it starts. I’m aware I will probably have to ask at the bar for them to play it, and figured you all might know where that’s more likely to happen? I’ll take any leads, thank you!!! (Don’t know what brewery yet, but I will try to convince my friends to choose one close to the sports bar that will play his game)
We just recorded an episode with Marlon LeBlanc, Head Coach of Brooklyn FC, straight from the pitch in New York City!
Full episode here: https://youtu.be/hmZ1sN019LA
In this conversation, Marlon opens up about seeing his face on a billboard in the NYC Subway system. He also talks about leadership, the brotherhood in the locker room, working with captain Tommy McNamara, his tactical philosophy, and why playing “for the people that love you” matters so much in a place like Brooklyn.
Would genuinely love to hear the sub’s takes on this one. Brooklyn FC feels like one of the more interesting projects in the league right now.

Here's a really good chat with Leah Scarpelli, defender and co-captain of Brooklyn FC in the Super League.
Scarps opens up about her full journey: growing up in New Jersey, going overseas to Sporting CP in Portugal and Brisbane Roar in Australia, and then coming back home to sign with Brooklyn FC. She talks about stepping into the captain role, adapting to the Gainbridge Super League style, life in NYC, and her goals for the 2025/26 season.

Did a box for my birthday at the Brooklyn FC V. Louisville City FC match. Being that it was a cold night it was nice to have both the indoor and outdoor spaces so that people could go inside if they were cold.
Staff was super attentive and refilled stuff throughout the game when needed. With the deal they did earlier in the year, $90 pp with food and drink included felt like a pretty good deal in comparison to some of the other box experiences that professional sports teams bring in the NYC area. Highly recommend it if you ever do a group outing for a game
For one weekend only, endline tickets are just $12 all-in – taxes and fees included.
