Besides this word salad, I really think there’s little evidence that makes me believe anymore that there will be any material spike in American interest past WC26. I think it’s more likely we’ve already expressed the bump.

Just thinking about what the bidding war would look like WITHIN NWSL for a free agent Trinity Rodman if there weren't unfair worker restrictions in place. And how fun that hot stove would be (except for Spirit fans stress levels).

There's a lot of cynical "with what money" comments about Trinity to DC Power and I have to remind you commenters that the fact that a DC Power can absolutely make and afford an unmatchable offer is an indictment on NWSL's structure and owners.

This is so fucking funny. Objectively one of the funniest SoccerWarz things we’ve gotten.
DC Power of the Gainbridge Super League have extended an offer for free agent Trinity Rodman that the NWSL can't currently match due to the salary cap.
