These things happen when sports business publications need a story with a dollar figure in it so badly that they publish without thinking at all about the framing of it. This is the cost of doing business with pubs that the league needs to work with in order to claim continual valuation increases

If there is one thing to take away from Chicago Stars FC's preseason so far, it's that the club is aware it needs to be far better from the top-down in 2026 after a measly output in 2025. Story at @ontapsportsnet.bsky.social #NWSL #WithTheStars ontapsportsnet.com/chicago-star...

Go look at the social posts from the nwsl in the last hour… this league needs Trinity Rodman and are beyond lucky she cared enough to stay
the league tried its damnedest to mess this up, and if rodman didn't have the connection to dc and the community of supporters at audi field, she would be yet another star leaving. they'll tout this as a league-wide win, it is not, the win is the property of the women's soccer community in dc.

Shoutout to Senkowski for actually talking about Rodman’s salary. More #NWSL agents need to go public about them or salaries, particularly at the bottom of the league, won’t increase substantially
OFFICIAL: #USWNT forward Trinity Rodman has signed a new, 3-year contract with the Washington Spirit.

Per Mike Senkowski, Rodman’s agent, her new multi-million dollar contract will make her the highest-paid female soccer player in the world.

It’s a symptom of how broken things have become, you shouldn’t be able to make millions off youth sports. Youth sports should be non-profit.
