Heartbreaking to hear about what Syd's been going through.

Hopefully others going through their own battles with disordered eating take some comfort in knowing that they aren't alone.

May she and others get the help they need. #nwsl

In the last two years, nine other women's sports leagues have launched in North America. Now, we have a tenth.

Absolute banger of a goal from Rose but also, that run-up from Bruninha was a thing of beauty.

I'm not sure there has been progress.

If you're looking at that 2022 season, 8 of 12 of the leagues coaches were women. Now we have more teams and fewer female coaches.
A shift in the WNBA.

In 2022, 6 black head coaches.

In 2026, 2 black head coaches, 0 black women.

There’s been progress — 7/15 are women, including 2 of color — but for a league that’s 60%+ black, does raise questions about why coaching hires don’t better reflect that.

I am so, so tired of this shit.
ESPN story on the New York Liberty hiring Golden State Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco, first reported by Shams Charania, as the franchise's new head coach. Three of five WNBA hires this offseason have NBA ties:

Y'all, I'm so glad that Marina Mabrey wasn't able to get out of Connecticut. Not only did staying improve her game and strengthen her as a leader, the content has been top notch.

That said, watching Chef Mabrey cook anything is stress inducing.

Missed acknowledging it yesterday but I am THRILLED that #PackWSoccer alum Jameese Joseph got her first call up to the #USWNT.

She's earned this moment and I can't wait to see a member of Wolfpack Nation wearing the ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

So many bad actors want to believe the worst about the players in this league that the WNBA decided to leak a misleading story about their CBA proposal to make the players appear greedy.

But, of course, it was all bullshit.
NEW: The WNBA's latest offer to players includes a million-dollar max salary—but only if certain revenue sharing targets are hit. The base supermax in 2026 would remain in the six figures.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.

It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

Absolutely unhinged. The opposite — in almost every case — of what the “free speech warriors” claimed they wanted. It was always, as it so often is, just about control.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

NO BORDER PATROL IN RALEIGH! ICE OUT OF NC!

It was confirmed today that Border Patrol & ICE will be conducting ops in the Triangle. We have seen the brutal kidnappings and families being ripped apart in Charlotte, Chicago, LA, and others. We can only assume the same will happen in the Triangle.

When Jason Reding Quiñones was hired in 2018 as a federal prosecutor in Florida, he flunked out of the office’s boot camp for new hires and left the office in 2024.

A year later, President Trump tapped him to lead the U.S. attorney’s office.

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

After this game, Kara Lawson has to rethink her game plan. Just start all the way over.

It's clearly not working and this team is too talented to be playing like this.

Losing to a team with just five active players has to be their rock bottom.
