If you want to support a winning team in New York, root for the women 😏

New York has won a professional championship 3 years in a row - and every trophy has been lifted by women 🏆

Mandy Freeman deserves a lot of praise for hanging on through the darkest days, and has also truly raised her game and evolved in that time to get to the point where she's captaining a champion.
Mandy Freeman was not rostered for the 2023 final, and in 2025 she not only started but captained — and won! So happy for the #GothamFC legend.

The biggest reminder of the importance of NCAA ball is that Reale played four seasons at UCLA and Schupansky played four seasons at Pitt.

Both stepped into important roles almost instantly, and combined for 3687 minutes of NWSL play.
also, shoutout to yael. she did some serious gm'ing this season. reale and schupansky fit perfectly, then she went and got shaw, whose first ten games with the club included 2g/1a in a playoff run in which she was the difference in wins over kc and orlando.

There's just no denying it. The injury happened in the 73rd minute, the 10v11 spell let Gotham take some control they hadn't had for the entire 2nd half.
Adrian Gonzalez didn't get that one right. The extended time with 10 while Hershfelt got treatment, having her come back on when her step was gone, it all led to that Gotham goal

berman keeps using that dumb line that the reason an 8 seed is facing a 2 seed in the championship is the salary cap, and it is driving me crazy. i would argue that a far more accurate reason is because the league sucks at protecting players like banda and chawinga on and off the pitch.

A reminder that the current CBAs for the Championship and League One expire on December 31. Big statement at the USL's marquee match of the year.
Players of FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds emerge for the USL final wearing shirts calling for better working conditions. The USLPA want "real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support."

"Pro rel? Try pro standards first," reads the message on the shirts.

If you include the World Cup break in the 2026 MLS schedule, 84% of the full capacity match-weeks line up with the new summer-to-spring calendar they'll start using in 2027.

It's essentially the same schedule already.

Everyone was so worried that Rodman might leave for a European League that they forgot another league in her own backyard could bid for her.
SOURCES: Trinity Rodman has a contract offer from DC Power of the Gainbridge Super League that is significantly larger than the Spirit or NWSL is able to counter, per @meglinehan.com and @tombogert.bsky.social.

Thanks to a $5 million settlement with the NY, DC and IL OAG, the NWSL is required to report their investigations.

The semi-annual report and its exhibits give us a teensy bit of transparency into the NWSL’s process.

This is great work and really poses more questions about what the league is doing to address its systemic issues.

In a year where Montoya was allowed to walk away on his own timetable and Nahas was fired for “a multitude of factors”… 43 complaints over a year and half is a problem.
It took myself and @lesleyryder.bsky.social doing a lot of FOIAs, but we finally have a look at how many reports of toxic environment + other complaints the NWSL is getting.

Records show they got 43 complaints last year, five by July 31 of this year.

Paywall is down since it’s public records:
