Wildly disappointing considering Temwa Chawinga has also received racial and transphobic abuse. It would be nice for all teams to be proactive about backing and protecting all players instead of waiting for something else to happen.

In keeping with this theme, I reached out to KC Current to see if they would be commenting on the issues below. They will not be issuing a separate statement outside of the one already issued by the league earlier today.

I have reached out to the Washington Spirit comms for comment on the recent comments from Elizabeth Eddy and Jennifer Sey.

Don’t know that i will hear back today but will keep you all posted if and when i do get a comment from them.

Even if she wasn't a top player, she deserves respect and dignity.

Please note, there are no trans women in the league. They won't stop at Black players. They want to see women's sports destroyed.

So speak up. Put a policy in place that protects women (including trans women).

The NWSL will be in a much stronger position if it reminds people that transphobic attacks on some players are bad for all players.

If you care about women’s sports, you’ll keep the creepy genital testing obsessives and the racists out.

Giving them any space makes everyone less safe.

Before anything bad happens tomorrow (and it likely will if someone is going on THAT network),

Protect Black Women. Protect Black Girls. Support Black Women. Support Black Girls. Donate to the BWPC. Support Black media. Protect OUR sport against abusers, predators, bad actors and opportunists.

In addition to any moral or competitive arguments,

1. This is a fake problem. There aren't any trans women in NWSL. There aren't any trans women in the immediate pipeline that I'm aware of.

2. Using Banda for the cover photo here is obviously just extremely racist.

Katelyn Best @kabest.bsky.social · 9d

Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...

National Women’s Soccer League must adopt gender standards to keep growing

Recent controversies across women’s sports — from swimming to track and field — have highlighted professional soccer lacks clear eligibility policies, unlike a growing number of other competitions.…

They say we have no “footballing culture” but right now in America, there’s a team named “Sharktopus FC” that just earned a replay of a loss because the ref for their last match turned out to have once been a player for their opponent’s second team. 🇺🇸

Just in case someone wants a calming photo. Taken last week atop of Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park.

Early sunrise over water, the sky is somewhat cloudy. Fog rolls over the water as people are sitting in the foreground near shrubs and rocks.
