As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

You could get all seven seasons of Legends of Tomorrow on Blu-ray for $60 (or $51 with coupon if this is your first order from Gruv, Warner's online store!) The first season is a bit rough but if you make it through there is a wild, fun, and very queer ensemble superhero adventure awaiting you!

Increasing expansion fees and artificially holding down player compensation through *scarcity* is not a league, it’s a pyramid scheme.

Jessica Berman still doesn’t think a league wide fan/league liaison is necessary to help increase communication between the two groups, so you should probably just email her directly and tell her your thoughts and feelings. [email protected]

welcome to the NWSL: you won’t get paid and someone might step on your head
also, imagine the message this sends to every current and future star player in and out of the league: do not come here, our owners do not want to pay you what you're worth. terrific message to send a year and a half away from a world cup.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.
They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

The labor has to strike now. I get it's a shitty option, but the MNBA is not negotiating in good faith. It's the leverage you have.
BREAKING Sources told @theathletic.com, the league’s salary structure proposal would result in players receiving less than 15% of total league revenue
Plus NEWS on nearly 10 more proposal items including a draft combine

This is a scandal.
Public universities should be banned from paying these insane buyouts for college coaches.
No pro sports teams are paying $33 million to fire their incompetent coach, so why are colleges paying this kind of money?!?

Watched the Diana Taurasi docuseries on prime with my grandpa and god, I miss her in the WNBA. Absolutely hated her but she was so good at playing the heel and no one is at her level of good natured villainy

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.
🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬
