LA sports celebrities anticipate World Cup's arrival, hope political climate has cooled by then
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When the 2026 World Cup begins across North America one year from this week, sports figures from across Los Angeles are hoping the global soccer community will find the U.S. both inspiring and welcoming. The Fox network marked the one-year milestone Wednesday night with a big party at its studio lot in Century City. Attendees included everyone from 'Ted Lasso' star Jason Sudeikis to luminaries from every corner of the sports world in the nation's second-largest metropolitan area, including Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. 'I remember when the World Cup was here in the '90s, and then obviously what our American women's team did to win the World Cup (in 1999),' Harbaugh said. 'So yeah, I love sports, I love competition, and I think it's going to be incredible for our state, our city, our country. The vibe is going to be incredible to just have everybody here. I'm looking for another explosion of soccer — football — in America.' The attendees all expressed excitement about the return of the world's premier soccer tournament to the U.S. while acknowledging the uncertainty of whether the nation's fraught political climate could present significant challenges to the teams, the World Cup organizers and even the network that will broadcast the tournament domestically. 'I'm hoping this game can bring people together,' said former LA Galaxy midfielder Cobi Jones, a three-time World Cup veteran and the U.S. men's career leader in appearances. 'That's what we really want. We're talking about the travel bans and all that, I'm hoping that FIFA can work together with our government to find a way that everyone can be here, everyone can enjoy this sport, because it's a cultural event that's happening here in a year. I expect everyone from around the world to be able to come here and enjoy it.' Los Angeles is in the midst of several days of protests against intensified immigration raids across the nation that could cause international fans to wonder whether they can travel to the tournament safely. President Donald Trump's latest expansive travel ban has raised questions about whether some soccer fans will be able to visit at all. 'I think it will get figured out,' Harbaugh said. 'To quote the late, great Tom Petty, most things I worry about don't end up happening anyway.' Jones also preached caution for U.S. fans already fretting about the dismal state of their national team. Coach Mauricio Pochettino's squad is on its first four-game losing streak since 2007 after getting thrashed 4-0 by Switzerland on Tuesday in its final tune-up for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. 'We don't panic right now,' Jones said. 'Talk to me when we're a month out. I've seen from experience that with a year out from the World Cup, the team is going to completely change (in the interim). So for me, it's all about a general sense of whether they can come together as a team, because it's not about the individuals. We've seen it so many times.' ___

For a second year, roller skating is back at the ROC in St. Louis Park
For a second year, roller skating is back at the ROC in St. Louis Park originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Roller skating can evoke a sepia-tinted nostalgia, but it doesn't have to be that way. Rather, it can still be that way, but you can also roller skate this summer. Rollin' @ the ROC is back in St. Louis Park this summer, inviting the community to roller skate around the Recreation Outdoor Center (ROC) for a second straight year. The season opened in May and will continue through the season-ending open skate on Sept. 25. Each session takes place on a Thursday, frequently with the Twin Cities Skaters in attendance, offering either lessons or a performance. Those weeks, the Bite Me Baking Co. food truck will be around selling treats. "After seeing many roller skaters using the ROC during open times, especially after the loss of the Roller Garden, we realized this was an opportunity for our department to promote roller skating in our community and to fill a gap in our parks and recreation programming," says Heidi Batistich, recreation and facilities supervisor. It was in 2021 that the St. Louis Park Roller Garden closed after 52 years of offering space to skaters daily. Just a few years later, a $9,520 grant for sports equipment from Hennepin County has allowed St. Louis Park to offer a small amount of that magic to people who love roller skating. Eight of the nine open skates for the summer cost $5, and roller skate rental is included in the admission. The exception is a free Juneteenth skate on Thursday, June 19. The Twin Cities Skaters will have a DJ on hand and perform. The Ralph's Rib Crib food truck will be set up outside as well. The ROC is located at 3700 Monterey Drive, and the full list of open skates can be found at the city's story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.
