This Christmas's family gingerbread structure had to be Rowdy Audi, one of the few places of pure joy for us this year. Bonus points if you can name the goal we tried to recreate.
(Hope we did the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social & @roseroomco.bsky.social et al. justice in the supporters' end.)

Since Tatjana Haenni and NWSL parted ways in May, the league has not to my knowledge hired a Sporting Director or created an equivalent role to guide the league's sporting structure and direction.
This rule's glaring issues speak to that. It's a bad idea being executed poorly.

here’s a spreadsheet with everyone’s contact information! I highly recommend emailing the three people listed in the NWSL category and the person or people listed for your specific team. 😚

This, my friends, is backdoor union-busting by the NWSL. HIP basically strips agency and gains because players will feel pressure to perform through injury/health/personal matters so they don’t lose a spot on an arbitrary list. #nwsl
Also, the criteria seems to disadvantage players who take significant time off due to injury, pregnancy, or mental health.

So, if you’re an NWSL GM, you are not allowed to decide yourself — using all of the tools of a pro team’s front office — that a Player has a High-enough Impact to warrant a certain salary. But you *are* allowed to vote on a list that would determine that that Player has a High-enough Impact.
Sure.
Sure.
The ESPN FC top 50 is here and we need to talk about the sudden conflict of interest the league has created with the high-impact player rule.
With coaches and GMs weighing in on these lists, they can influence whether or not their players can get a bag.

#BermanOut (and the rest of y'all causing these problems, but that's too long for a hashtag)
one thing that’s become very obvious about jessica berman’s nwsl is that owners would still much rather pay lawyers than players
Statement from the NWSLPA. The union is definitely not on board with the new High Impact Player Rule. #NWSL

Pay equity is not optional, @wnba.com. It’s way overdue.
It’s time to pay the players what you owe them.
Solidarity with the WNBPA players as they fight for a contract that gives them an equitable share of the profits THEY create.
