My knee jerk reaction… An overly complicated, yet vaguely defined, proposal that will cause confusion without solving the actual problem. Rewards players who already have commercial income while keeping the other 90% in relative poverty. Well done.
SOURCES: The #NWSL board has voted to approve a new star player fund—internally called "High Impact Player"—to allow teams to spend up to $1M over the cap with a much smaller cap hit for players who meet criteria.

Crucially: A change affecting the cap requires NWSLPA consultation. On @espn.com:
Sources: NWSL 'star' salaries tied to player profile
The NWSL's Board of Governors has approved a new roster mechanism to pay select star players above and beyond the current salary cap, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

If you are getting married soon and on the fence about changing your name, my vote is for keeping your maiden name! Not because of the risk of divorce (though there’s that too), but because it’s a PITA with no tangible benefit. Change it socially but not legally, if you want.

Stop calling it "political violence." It's called gun violence.
There is no space for political violence in our country.

I’m reminded of an interview question for my 2nd job after college. Was asked if I regretted my GPA wasn’t higher. Responded no, but wish I’d taken advantage of the time to actually learn more.

Just watched The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Terrible, awful, and the absolute opposite of fantastic. Such a disappointment.

I expect I’m in the minority but I’m anti-playoff for leagues with a balanced schedule. Playing every team twice over months is the true test, not 3 elimination games in a post season tournament. KC was the best team by far but won’t be “champion”. The tournament is what should be the consolation.
What a season for KC — won 21 of 26 to finish 21 points ahead of 2nd place. Goal difference +36. Conceded less than 12. Undefeated at home. But the playoffs are the true test and they fall at the first hurdle. The Shield scant consolation for a team who yearned to win it all.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
