I feel like the I-5 corridor should get its own ranking since it runs through so many of these, especially the Pinoe Redding to Portland to Seattle pipeline.
Just in time for the NWSL championship this week, the Bay asserts itself as the best place — according to our @theathletic.com staff vote — for women’s sports in the U.S. Some surprises in here, even for me!
I’m on deck today with the results ⤵️

What makes a great women’s sports city? We ranked the top 10 in the U.S.
The Bay Area earned the top spot in our first-ever city ranking, and the No. 2 city might surprise you.

Imagine Jess Fishlock plays one more season in the Reign win the championship….. then she would be the only Reign legend to win one. Neither Pinoe or Lu Barnes get one.

I haven't seen anything from pinoe,press, or heath either, have any of them spoken up?
the only thing I've seen is the women's game which is two former players (mewis and sauerbrunn) and one current (biyendolo)
(I'm genuinely asking, I don't follow player socials)

it is actually so frustrating to witness the decline in players today speaking out against this kind of stuff like pinoe and others did. esp since i started following woso right around her exit. it’s outrageous and maddening BECAUSE it is needed NOW more than ever!
Idk, I get tired of this sport proving me right for all the wrong reasons. We can love our faves and also hold them accountable. We cry about who is gonna be the next Becky or Pressy or Pinoe, but no one demands that of players anymore. And we rightfully never expect it from our FOs. It's bleak.

I was thinking about that during the Olympics. Everything the Pinoe gen fought for and we're left without a voice in this next gen. No one (very few?) is willing to speak out and put their name on the line. It's a shame really. Too busy making tik toks.

For the Reign, I imagine it’s the ownership group. The team has goodwill leftover from Pinoe I’m not sure they deserve anymore.

Need more players like Kerstin Casparij, Becky, Pinoe, Press, Tobin, the Mewis sisters, Lynn etc.

Pinoe in particular would LOUDLY give zero fucks about who she’s up against

Alyssa Naeher is on A Touch More this week with Sue and Megan. When talking about the ‘24 Olympics Pinoe said “Omigod the kids are taking care of her” about the young players and Alyssa. 🥰🥹

Sad throwback to when Pinoe “fucking yeeted” her achilles 😭

So basically Lori was on A3 back in 2022 and alluded to “things behind the scenes” as to why she wouldn’t have made the USWNT for WCQ, and kind of touted Pinoe as a better leader than CP (which felt kind of gross because I don’t think Pinoe would want to be pitted against a friend and teammate)

Not to be an old head myself, but I think it's pretty freakin awesome that I've had the honor of getting to see the likes of Christen Press, Tobin Heath, Alex Morgan, KO, Pinoe, Unc, AK, etc etc all build the game into what it is today...

While Megan Rapinoe is undoubtedly one of my favorite players and people of all time, Lu Barnes IS/WAS the Reign for me. My favorite Reign player. Consistent, determined, a true leader. On a team with Pinoe and Fishlock, that's saying something.
Lu Barnes has left an indelible mark upon the Reign. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/10/laur...

But like Spirit has Hal, Trin and Croix? Where’s our Fishlock? Our Morgan Weaver? Pinoe? Where’s our Midge, Ella Stevens and Jaelin Howell? And yes, all of these players are ELITE but they are also kind of world class audacious assholes™️ (complimentary) on the field.

Pinoe getting “Sue Bird’s wife” is so funny it almost makes up for not knowing who Marta is. Almost
