For The Equalizer, I spoke with the #NWSL’s newest Italian, defender Lisa Boattin about her decision to leave Juventus and the differences between Italy and Texas (there are many!)

Could she be the difference maker for the Dash’s a playoff dreams? 🇮🇹

From Torino to Houston, Lisa Boattin could be the Dash’s difference maker

After finding plenty of success in Italy, Boattin is ready to try her hand at the NWSL — and hopes to help Houston push for the playoffs.

That being said pls refer to my pinned post. Trans people are not a threat to sports or to society and pls continue to protect trans rights and gender affirming care, thank you and good day.

Huge thanks to all the power rankings I ever wrote over the years for getting me on something like this I guess! Shout out to all the other gays on this, especially the homie @adritnyc.bsky.social who doesn’t nearly get enough recognition behind the scenes 🥳

For SI, I dug deep with #GothamFC’s newest midfielder Jaedyn Shaw. We talk about her time at the Courage, persevering through the challenges, and finding her fit.
