Once I felt like I had a handle on NWSL coverage, so many problems seemed to boil down to "can we get out of our own way?"
That was like 10 years ago, and even with undeniable, major progress, I feel like "can we get out of our own way?" is still the big question in women's sports.

When the NWSL Board of Governors meet next week, they’ll vote on a rule that could help teams pay for player like Trinity Rodman without going over the Salary cap.

this is precisely the core of it
the whole reason to be in NWSL ownership is that you're betting on *growth*
league revenue is already on a parabolic trajectory and it's reasonable to believe it can continue
but if you want it to continue, you have to actually make some commitments to growth

The difference is Gotham didn't get the second yellow then got Reale off the pitch. I'm not saying DC wins anyway, they couldn't shoot to save their lives. But they were essentially playing with 10 even with Hal out there. Those moments matter.
