Everyone is going to post Press highlight reel stuff, but more than anything I'm just glad that she can no longer be failed by the institutions that should have protected and elevated her

“It’s hard to find the words to say goodbye to a sport that has defined my life for over three decades. Football has given me everything, and I will miss being on the pitch so very much. Thank you to my family, friends, teammates, coaches, and community for this beautiful ride.” -CP

Idk, outside of this, I had made peace with her never playing again. And then she did. I just took every moment as a miracle of modern medicine and sheer will. It wasn't the same, and that was okay. She and Ali walk away together, and that feels fitting. Two LA, Stanford girls that changed the game.

I legit just woke up. I have some thoughts for a later time. My tribute is this. There literally would be no Shea Butter FC without her. The first time a yelled "Shea Butter bomb" was organically watching a Christen Press USWNT goal. She gave my dream a name. Above all else, thank you for that CP23!

One of these ads snuck into our dynamic ad packages. We had it squashed immediately. Fuck ICE and, from the bottoms of our hearts, fuck every single loser who's been playing wannabe brownshirt this year.

Some pretty interesting results in NCAA woso:

• UVA drawing 2-2 at Cal before today’s loss at Stanford
• UCLA now with losses to Washington & Wisconsin and a draw at Minnesota
• Upsets galore in the SEC (UGA over ARK, FLA over Mississippi St)
• Washington now with two ranked wins in as many weeks

Hundreds of people joined a delegation of Catholic priests and nuns marching to the Broadview detention site to hold communion, but they were turned away with no reason given. A total of 15 protesters...

Pretty sure I've talked about this more than once, but when I went out to [redacted] to interview Riley Tiernan after ACFC training this spring, Jun Endo did something more audacious than this on a more powerfully-struck ball arriving at longer distance that legit took my breath away

And this match has ended with ACFC winning 2-0. They stay alive for another week in the playoff hunt and pass the team they just defeated. I can't remember the last time ACFC had a clean sheet in a victory since Orlando in August 21st. The fans deserved that performance.

Thanks for this info! Any stats on how many fouls in this game? Felt like a lot.
