this is the other thing, the league asked for an extension on the grievance then used it to rush this across the line knowing the nwslpa already objected to it. they’re attempting to use the holiday to force a concession.
Doing this right before Christmas is extra nasty, btw. I know what you are, NWSL.

I have a lot of things to say, but ultimately you can’t have players contracts be dictated by media members - no matter which way you put it, the media is dictating the majority of these awards. Yes I know for some player and coaches vote too but the majority is dictated by media

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

one reason i adore women's sports is because large portions of every fanbase aren't fooled by bullshit. most fans in men's sports accept pro-owner/anti-labor arguments, but nwsl and wnba fans right now are both saying 'nope we see what you're trying to do, just pay players what they're worth k thx.'

At a time when a lot of players' unions are weak or lacking direction, the NWSLPA stands out for being particularly strong and principled. A really great organization at the moment, which is critical for both the players and the league.

at this point, no matter the resolution, berman & nwsl owners have tarnished the league. we all knew this inflection point was coming and they still failed in the worst, most public way. i would pay to read the group chats of players everywhere discussing a league fighting a star’s $1m/yr contract.
"We expect the contract... and the free agency to be respected."

at this point trin should just go to europe. the message will be that she got too big for the league and they weren't committed enough to grow with her. good luck convincing broadcast partners to give you more money when they know your most marketable stars can easily outgrow the league.

Add WoC to this. Because when y'all say more women, you mean a particular type of woman. None of this is due to lack of talent or desire. Like Anthony said, introspection, but follow it with actions.
US Soccer needs to do some serious introspection about why there are so few North American women coaching in the NWSL and why their pathway is making those coaches less viable candidates than their European, and largely male, counterparts.

A bounty? Very slave catcher of them. This league is gonna have to take a stand at some point. There's no "both sides" to this. At some point, racism and transphobia have to be a deal breaker.
From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:
Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.
