Not shocked at all but that doesn’t make Chicago’s behavior any better
Heard back from the stars!
Asked if the club had any comment on the anti-trans rhetoric coming at NWSL players, they responded that they won’t be putting out a statement.

There is no reason to talk to an owner during halftime but that is even more true when an actual playoff game is going on. The #NWSL makes it so hard to take its tv product seriously
I wish we could ban owners on broadcasts. Ken Griffey Jr is awesome and I couldn’t care less about his opinion re: the first 45 minutes of a playoff game the team he supports is losing. It’s biased nonsense even if though he is one of the best athletes of his generation #NWSL

It shouldn’t matter but until Jessica Berman puts her name on a statement, this is largely performative. Will the commish who came from the National Lacrosse League and displays the behavior of wanting to be the next NHL commissioner want her name out in the open for this? I doubt it #NWSL

Chicago Stars FC have to earn back their fans' trust by actually making serious additions in the offseason but $15/match for supporters seats and $20/match for other endline seats is a solid start #WithTheStars #NWSL
