This. Ive been saying this about the W for years and about the NWSL for 4 months. Enough with this shit
Once I felt like I had a handle on NWSL coverage, so many problems seemed to boil down to "can we get out of our own way?"
That was like 10 years ago, and even with undeniable, major progress, I feel like "can we get out of our own way?" is still the big question in women's sports.

Sorry it is sadly so funny to me that we hit peak women’s sports confluence today where the WNBA and the NWSL are both publicly arguing with their PA’s

Is this Bears team flawed? Yes. But are they fun, organized, and dare I say good? Yes.
Two things can be true. These two (or four) things can be true.

For World AIDS Day, which is Dec. 1 and which is being ignored by the Trump administration because they dislike the World Health Organization, other countries, science, and queer people, I'm reposting a piece I wrote earlier this year. (They also hate history.) www.vulture.com/article/hiv-...
The List Keepers
The AIDS crisis shattered Broadway, and the scope of the loss has never been fully accounted for. Some kept their own records.

The women abused by Justin Tucker and Art Briles have to carry those scars for the rest of their lives. It’s not to much to ask that Tucker and Briles should, too, rather than being given chances at redemption.
Art Briles, Justin Tucker getting second chances they don't deserve
If our society valued women, Justin Tucker and Art Briles would be pariahs. Instead, they're enjoying second chances despite the harm they've caused.

A shift in the WNBA.
In 2022, 6 black head coaches.
In 2026, 2 black head coaches, 0 black women.
There’s been progress — 7/15 are women, including 2 of color — but for a league that’s 60%+ black, does raise questions about why coaching hires don’t better reflect that.

I took a couple of weeks for me but wanted people to know I've left Winsidr. I'm open to all new possibilities that may come as a free lance writer but in the meantime I'll try and offer more game breakdowns
