I would strongly recommend to anyone in the #NWSL who is trying to learn from "subject matter experts," go listen to "Tested," by @reveleth.com (from @npr.org & CBC). It's a full education on the history of sex testing in women's sports & DSD athletes today

sorry to keep going on about this but you don't need famous people or teal man or unwell fc to sell this league, these players and these games are enough. i promise.

NWSL AFTER DARK EXCEPT DURING THE DAY AND IN THE PLAYOFFS

Okay, but I was told that's what a coach's job is. Yanez took it to PKs with far less talent and without DeMelo.
Vlatko states that not having Cooper and Chawinga and a half strength Bia makes it difficult to change the game plan.

Laughing about this text with @dreyesceron.bsky.social. I genuinely can’t believe we’ve raised over $15k for CAFB. Things are dark but our community is a light.

today is Coach Rodman's origin story
Aubrey Kingsbury ran towards the bench and spoke to Trinity Rodman and Adrian Gonzalez. Right after that chat, you saw the substitution come together.

Kysha Sylla comes in as Tara McKeown slowly walks to the sidelines.
Awkward fall for Tara McKeown, and the Spirit have gathered around her as she receives treatment.

Got to her feet without trainers, but then sat right back down.

I am also unclear how long it’s going to take for someone with power to acknowledge trans and queer fans of the NWSL watching this all unfold and what that might mean for them, in addition to the protection of the players.

I have thoughts about the use of “controversial” here.
#NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman spoke to media at Audi Field during the halftime break.

Asked about the league's change from its prior policy on trans players & future plans for a new policy, and got this reply:

Email response from @nwslsoccer.com commissioner Jessica Berman re: my email earlier this week about what the league will be doing to protect players from bigotry, racism, and transphobia both from the public and from within their own teams.

this is why i hate when the league acts like it has to #girlboss to gain credibility. fam, look at what we just witnessed. there's nothing like this league, and that's all because of the players. it is my dream that one day they have leadership that understands this, and acts like it.

“It’s just unfortunate that players like Barbra have to go through that harassment when they bring so much joy to their cities and communities. These are wonderful women. And this is the playoffs, which is the most exciting time of the year.” -Vlatko on recent transphobic rhetoric(? From me)

Ali Riley for commissioner?
“How can I be even louder in my beliefs and in my love?”

Ali Riley's career in professional soccer has come to an end, but she's ready to keep using her voice to make the NWSL and women's soccer better.

Angel City’s Ali Riley used her voice for others while playing. She hopes to do more in retirement
The defender was an advocate while playing and plans on continuing that into the next act of her career.
