Launching women’s & men’s pro soccer in Downtown Cleveland: @clevelandprosoccer.bsky.social. I don’t like the woods.
We’re smack in the middle third of developing our team identity — and I think how we respond, as a collective, to the word Denver, out loud, needs to be discussed & agreed upon 🤝
But there’s gotta be some sort of loud BOOOOOOOO in there.

when @ginaprodan.bsky.social retold how we lost the bid to Denver rn at #SportsLand I had to control slash quiet down my audible boo 🫤

A quick minute preview of what’s on the episode & what it’s like once you get me going about soccer in Cleveland…
On the Soccer Business podcast with Simon Evans, we get into:
➡️ What WPSL Pro is
➡️ How we decided the league was the right next move for Cleveland
➡️ Why pro/rel in any league is great for every league (and the growth of the game)

What I loved most about New York Times writing this article — they wanted to know Cleveland’s next move.
Access & exposure to women’s sports can change presumptions faster than you realize (about way more than sports).

The number of times I’ve said “fuck knees” over the past couple years…
In the most wide-open women’s NCAA Tournament in recent memory, the Trojans had their best chance of getting back to the Final Four for the first time in 40 years.
And then JuJu Watkins got hurt.

Ilona Maher has scored her first try for the Bristol Bears!
She only had to stiff-arm one player.

It’s the whole “help all of them reach their maximum potential” that does it for me.
“It’s a significant jump from college to the pro game & an even bigger jump to the elite international level, but we will be patient with all these players as we understand the process & want to help all of them reach their maximum potential.”

Filling this gap is exactly what drew me to WPSL Pro. Our women’s side has dominated for two generations.
That won’t be the case if we don’t support the women’s path.

I watched the local Cavs-OKC broadcast so I didn’t have to hear nationals figure out how to disparage two mid-market teams.
And it’s been lovely 🧡

I learned a lot in 2024. I was welcomed to be in rooms I hadn’t been before, to ask questions, listen in, absorb, experiment & learn more.
Working with people who do that — welcome, encourage, mentor, amplify, nudge — is life-changing.
2024 said what it said. Let’s see what 2025 has in store.

The Pop Tarts Bowl sets a new standard for brand sponsorship in sporting events.
If you’re just putting your name on the game and not putting a toaster in the trophy, sprinkles on the field & sacrificing a mascot at the end… why bother?

In the words of Jack Berger: “I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for you. He’s just not that into you.”
Details: 12 top Boston Public Schools events per year get first priority for scheduling, then NWSL games. No more than 2 NWSL games per four-week period, games must start by 8:30 pm ET, no more than 4 weekend games per season starting before 5 pm ET to allow daytime BPS usage.
