Whoa.
🇺🇸 BREAKING: USLS's DC Power has made an offer to sign USWNT star Trinity Rodman, per sources.

"Significantly" larger than what Washington Spirit can offer.

Convos continue between Rodman's camp + NWSL. WSL clubs still in the mix. ⌛️

Today is the North Carolina Rabbit Hole's fifth birthday. Because I hate making an entire newsletter out of earnest reflection, here's a story about the guy who lost his race to become North Carolina's governor because he told people that barbecue sucks www.ncrabbithole.com/p/the-politi...
The Politician who Refused to Eat Barbecue and Lost (also, it's the Rabbit Hole's Fifth Birthday)
An update on the state of the Hole, but first, the most ridiculous North Carolina political food story ever told.

Charlotte FC is not the only soccer team from the Carolinas playing playoff soccer. We catch up with three teams in the USL Playoffs this weekend as well.

There used to be an airline flight between Greensboro and Winston-Salem. www.ncrabbithole.com/p/north-caro...
North Carolina's shortest airline flight was 16 miles long
You used to be able to take a flight between two easy-to-get-to cities that were literally a county apart. Why? Piedmont Airlines, that's why.
