I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

We tackled this topic in our #NWSL GM survey last year, too, where one person called the calendar "the biggest question facing the league." Opinions were divided on solutions.

The Washington Spirit have announced that Saturday's #NWSL semifinal at Audi Field is already sold out. The place was rocking last Saturday.

The Spirit's crowd growth is especially notable with league attendance down across the board YOY, including over half the markets—and significantly in SoCal.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

“Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers.”

I will choose Sharples, for this. She had a great season. It is defender of the season, not Defender for one match or popularity contest. Izzy Rodriguez will be my second choice.
The backline’s best across the board. 🤝
