The unbearable silence in women’s football
While women footballers have been trailblazers in advocating for gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and refugee support, many remain conspicuously silent on Gaza and Lebanon, writes Shireen Ahmed.

“Women’s football has been completely decimated in Gaza — all sports, in fact — and over 500 athletes have been killed. But the world of football, and women’s football in particular, has remained silent.”

It shouldn’t be controversial to be against genocide.

Focus on growth (aka $$$) with performative statements about player health and safety is not it
jessica berman doesn’t deserve the league and its players. she made a name for herself by being slightly better than lisa baird – primarily by not getting in the way of the nwslpa. now that she has clout and notoriety, and feels important, she’s consistently made choices that prioritize her ego.

WoSo fans really are the best. Sun signs by team and position… ✨💙
☔️ SEATTLE REIGN
By far the most balanced team with each sign (except Virgo) having 1-3 people. Fire signs take a slight majority!

Absolutely unacceptable.
Copper Queens former HC Bruce Mwape has been reassigned to junior teams in an “advisory capacity.” Mind you this is a man who is accused of sexually assaulting players on the Zambian National Team. Putting him with the youth teams is so insidious.
