Lindsey, Crystal, Emily, Naomi, Alyssa, Phallon choosing to play in Europe is NOT a concern. It’s a different experience. Each player needs to find those opportunities that help them grow at various moments on their journey.
But make no mistake about, NWSL’s lack of ambition IS a major concern.

nwsl owners do not want to have the best league in the world, they want widespread mediocrity that they can position as 'parity' and 'the most competitive league.' it's literally the nfl model attempted in a sport with a global market that can and will leave the nwsl behind.

Lapsed member but given the people I played with that played favorites, talked of country club living, had to drive luxury vehicles, etc., I am not surprised by this horrible action.
SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

Snow day on Giving Tuesday. Donated to my normal charities then tried to find a live stream. No one I clicked on was really pushing the charity. Limited overlay material. Donated to one and it took 20 minutes for them to notice. Believe in your cause.

Penn State wins their opening round vs USF and likely gets Texas. A tough draw was expected but perhaps the better quadrant to be in. Still, a deep run would surprise me.

RIP Jimmy
I saw Jimmy Cliff in the middle of the afternoon at Osheaga in 2010. They put him on the main stage for a bunch of disinterested hipsters and he absolutely crushed. I will never forget that performance. RIP to a king.

Great showing by Kaytron. Happy for him.
However, that pin that Terry Smith is wearing can go straight in the trash. Awful choice.

IMO this and Bev Y as COTY were the two most deserving in their respective categories.
Even as a KC fan I don't think Vlatko should have gotten the award.

The base can handle some kayfabe but not when Republicans are torching the constitution and abducting people off the street.
There will be some "Wow you can't make these people happy" sentiment but what's really happening is the Dems are beginning to reap the consequences of not really believing in anything. Choreographed maneuvers, too clever by half talking points. People have just had it

Agree with this. This is a devastating loss, especially when this is a major part of it
The absences were a problem, but that loss is ultimately on Vlatko Andonovski. Insanely passive tactical setup that did not give the players they *did* have the ability to control the match from the first whistle.

I wonder if Wheeler could come in pushing Mace higher to try to keep AKB closer to her net.
More likely that no subs are made until the 75' and Hopkins comes in. Also depends on Bia's fitness.
