A thing Rodman has always understood is how the pressure cooker that is an NWSL contender or (especially) the USWNT has to also have fun. The cellys and pre-game photo plans serve a purpose.
Talked to her back in 2024 about how Emma Hayes was on the same wavelength from the jump.

If Ayo Oke is playing passes like this regularly for Denver (which means Denver are spreading teams out, it's not just 100% on her) their attackers are going to be loving life.
As for Bethune, she's displayed elite balance since day one in NWSL, and as always has high xDawg in front of goal.

This lineup says "I'm following a preseason minutes loading plan first and foremost, and the opposition is going to park the bus."
Might be tough to draw conclusions from this 90 minutes.

Teams should be conscious about the fact that celebrating Black excellence, Black history, and Black culture on the field and in the city in which they reside doesn't require a specific date to fall in line with their schedule. They can just...do it.
As a person who is black and part of the lgbtq+ community it bothers me we can celebrate one and not the other. They do such a good job with Juneteenth last year like we can celebrate outside of June just like Pride

FYI for context — this is what the NWSLPA refers to as a roster classification.
A contrast to the league wanting to add HIP as a classification alongside STIRP, NTRP, SEI, D45, etc.

Inbox: Washington Spirit sign defenders Madison Haugen and Molly Skurcenski to short-term injury replacement contracts.
No details on who they would be replacing, but the Spirit to my knowledge still have Andi Sullivan, Ashley Hatch, & Casey Krueger on their SEI list.
