Today we're launching Motion in Claude. One skill turns it into a full video team: > Drop a product URL: a finished launch video comes back, scripted, voiced, rendered > Say "make it shorter" or "swap the music": it re-cuts on the spot, no timeline > Upload your own footage and logo: it builds around them The video below was made this way, in Claude, in one message. Comment "MOTION" and I'll send you the skill. 👇

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year. That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer. FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset. US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records. So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros. Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability. Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business. They will not.

“And every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that we’d dominate if we had a stronger youth program.” “And will we develop a stronger youth program?” “We will not.”

An intriguing day ahead. The D market is wild. Toronto is “all-in” on Werenski. Carolina is still working on Carlson while considering Nikishin trade options. Plus, Chicago is eager to drop what is expected to be a 6 year deal on Bowen Byram at $12.5 mil per. Fun times.

Three goals in 54 seconds tie the game for the @Canucks! #Canucks | #NHLTonight

@GlassCityFC Is this considered one of the two more signings??

Trade details confirmed: To #TexasHockey: Mikeal Granlund, Cody Ceci To #SJSharks: 2025 DAL 1st Round Pick, Cond. 2025 WPG 4th Round Pick that can upgrade to 2025 3rd Round if Dallas advances to 2025 Stanley Cup Final. First to report: @KevinWeekes, @DarrenDreger with details.

Big deal looks something like this: Carolina: Mikko Rantanen, Taylor Hall Colorado: Martin Necas, Jack Drury Chicago: third-round pick, 50 per cent of Rantanen salary The big question becomes: can the Hurricanes convince Rantanen to sign? Sebastian Aho will lead the lobbying

Apology: Jesperi Kotkaniemi is not part of the deal to Colorado. Lots flying around. Martin Necas and Jack Drury are the two roster players going from Carolina. Mikko Rantanen to Carolina with Taylor Hall. Chicago retains $ and gets a 3rd round pick back. More moving parts…

@GlassCityFC Would be fine with Raposo at similar amount as a squad player. I want to say because he is 🇨🇦 and acquired through the draft he is useful for the squad rules. He also has a bit more to prove I think.

the canucks had an insane season with lots of goals scored, so here’s a thread of some of my favorite goals + some fun facts:

Every Mike Evans catch ever. You're welcome.

A new chapter begins.

On Ian Cole. He played #3 minutes on the Lightning last season (more than Cernak) and has some of the best defensive data in the NHL over the past few seasons. Absolute no to a three year deal, but this is a nice stop gap guy. I can see why the Canucks are interested

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the #Canucks have agreed to terms with the following players: - Ian Cole (one year, $3M) - Teddy Blueger (one year, $1.9M) - Tristen Nielsen (two-year, entry-level contract)
