Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber said his X account was “compromised” on Wednesday evening, a statement offered after a post on his account called British Columbia Premier David Eby a “liar” earlier in the day.
MLS has been ensnared in a relocation controversy surrounding the Vancouver Whitecaps, who say they have faced serious financial issues as a result of having to play at BC Place, the stadium owned by the province. The long-running saga has most recently seen the Whitecaps connected with a potential move to Las Vegas or Phoenix.
Eby posted a 45-second video clip on his own X account earlier on Thursday. In it, he tells Whitecaps fans that “The Whitecaps are British Columbia, and I want you to know that we are at the table fighting hard to save the Whitecaps.”
Four hours later, Garber’s account responded to Eby.
“Liar liar pants on fire,” read the now-deleted post, with screenshots showing a timestamp of 8pm Pacific time. Around an hour later, that tweet disappeared, with a new post explaining the barb.

Seems like lately most sports stories have me thinking, “I didn’t even know that city has a team,” or even “I didn’t even know that sport has a league.”
Well, he is a liar.
My city has a rugby team.
I think rugby is the most pure of sports.
The club has a memorandum of understanding with Vancouver in regards to constructing a soccer-specific stadium in the city, but that process could take years, say local leaders. Schuster called the site a “challenging piece of land … To make the dream come true it needs way more than the Vancouver Whitecaps alone trying to figure it out.”In other words, the team is trying to shake down Vancouver and British Columbia for a new stadium in this week's example of Sports Socialism. I would love to see cities say "NO!". One or two teams could move, but if you get many more cities refusing to pay for sports palaces for millionaire players to play for billionaire owners, then the whole game of musical chairs collapses.
