More news for Tuesday:

• Activity kit: The club has put out an activity kit, for kids and the young at heart. We wrote about it on Monday.
• Tasty Tuesday: Apparently we’re going to learn more about it, but three Republic FC players — Matt Mahoney, Drew Skundrich and Sam Werner — have a cheat day on Tuesdays. Here’s the intro to their weekly holiday.

• New U.S. Soccer CEO: The USSF announced on Monday they have hired Will Wilson to be their new CEO. He replaces Dan Flynn, who had a heart transplant and then continued to stay on, then told the federation he was leaving, and then they waited months and months to hire someone.
