The little burst here by @sportingjax.bsky.social's Ashlyn Puerta to create space and deliver a great low cross for Baylee DeSmit to finish is lovely.

Sports have been an instrumental part of my life.

Playing them made me feel strong and seen.
Watching and covering women's sports makes me believe in the power of the collective.

All young girls/women deserve this. And trans girls/women ARE women.

Happy National Girls & Women in Sports Day.

I am avoiding thinking about The Horrors for a few minutes by updating my "Women's Sports Bars" map with some more newly opened places. If you know of others, I am happy to add them (to OpenStreetMap, where I pull my data from).

The IG of #unrivaled posted this half an hour ago, this is seemingly the first professional sports league (not union, league) making an official statement about what is going on in Minnesota:
WE ARE HEARTBROKEN BY THE TRAGIC LOSS OF LIVES IN MINNESOTA AND SHARE IN THE PAIN FELT BY FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES, AND PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION. HUMANITY RELIES ON THE ABILITY FOR EVERYONE TO BE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT. NO ONE SHOULD FEAR LOSING THEIR LIFE WHILE EXERCISING THEIR FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, AND VIOLENCE AND HATE HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IN THIS MOMENT OF GRIEF, WE CHOOSE COMPASSION AND UNITY. TO EVERYONE IMPACTED IN MINNESOTA: WE SEE YOU, WE SUPPORT YOU, AND WE STAND WITH YOU. UNRIVALED A LEAGUE OWNED BY THE PLAYERS
