Coffey seems like a person/player who probably would've gone to Europe regardless of salary cap stuff. People want to experience living somewhere else, playing for historic clubs, etc. I think a bigger question is do they come back, or are we officially just the minor league.
Manchester City is finalizing a transfer with the #NWSL's Portland Thorns for #USWNT midfielder Sam Coffey.

Sources say the fee will be at least $800K, possibly higher when final. Coffey is flying to England, terms agreed, wants to experience Europe.

Renee's similarities to me are taking my breath away. Mother in her 30s, a wife, a car full of stuffed animals and NWSL stickers. Three of the kids and I were literally doing ICE bystander observations on Christmas Eve.
Idk if anybody in soccer world has noticed this, but the vehicle Renee Good was driving when the ICE agent shot her had a sticker on it for the NWSL's Kansas City Current, among others.

Federal authorities, WHO ARE LYING
Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his his life” killed a protester during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis. A presence of federal law enforcement has sparked protesting near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue.

One dog got into a product with Xylitol last night and is in the hospital 1 hour away. The other had a scheduled radiation treatment 3.5 hours away. I'm tired and sad 😭

My stipend was 14k/year, before the 1k that was taken out for fees. I survived only because I was very experienced at being A Poor.

This seems very Not Good
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Glad that Naomi and Jaedyn got out of here. Sad for those who remain.
It’s one thing for a team to decide to part ways with a player, that’s sport, but decorum and respect…

Realizing I don't have much of my #OpenEd community over here. One of my 2026 goals is to get back into that literature and activism. Where's my crew? 🥹

My community is being devastated by state-sanctioned kidnapping. This man was taken on Christmas, in front of his family.

They have no remorse, no care, no soul.

Preface: I am absolutely not hating on how anyone handles their holiday traditions.

For our family, not doing santa or elf on the shelf, as well as centering Yule>Christmas, has been one of our best parenting decisions.

ICE is kidnapping people in the Walmart parking lot on Christmas Eve and I'm just so sick about it. This has to fucking stop.

There's a reason Lindsey Heaps is the second most marketable USWNT player in the SportsMedia Pro list, and it's not because she's the second most marketable USWNT player.
