You can not have a salary cap sooooo low you can not pay veteran and young players legitimate salaries. That is Not sustainable to keep players stateside let alone make a space for veteran players to play long term. No one is trying to watch daycare figure it out without vets you need balance.

Asked both Bethune & Morgan to speak about about Rose Kouassi:
Morgan: "Queen."
Bethune: "Baller."
Morgan again: "No one can match her. Like, no one can match her in the league. She's just got such brilliant timing for knowing when to turn on her pace and (snaps) blitz past someone."

Adrian Gonzalez says last week's win over Racing was physically/emotionally taxing, & he's really pleased that the team could bring that same energy today.
"I think the team has done a great job being locked in, believing until the end, playing as we want to be, with the personality that we have."

Tara McKeown joked that the message in training ahead of today's semifinal was: "Please, girls, no more extra time."
Come kickoff, the Spirit traded dramatics for dominance and outplayed the Thorns for a 2-0 win. Next up: Another trip to the NWSL final.

A bounty? Very slave catcher of them. This league is gonna have to take a stand at some point. There's no "both sides" to this. At some point, racism and transphobia have to be a deal breaker.
From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:
Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

I don’t believe that is quite true, Berman.
EXCLUSIVE:
spoke to #NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman this morning about Trinity Rodman and the salary cap, which doesn’t seem to be going anywhere
the salary cap, she said, is “the reason our league is the most competitive league in the world”

The NWSL floor is about the salary of an entry-level position that doesn't require a degree, even in the current economy. If you think 48k is any player's worth (or yours, honestly), idk if we're having the same conversation. Stars will always get paid. Others should, too. Ok, back to the football.
