Listen to Black women. Vote like Black women. Support + protect our trans family. This world wouldn't be in the shitter if folks did. Of course the BWPC got it right, they consistently do.

The Black Women’s Player Collective has dropped a statement as well this morning on their Instagram in light of the recent comments made this week.
The Black Women’s Player Collective is aware of the hateful and discriminatory comments abuse and harassment directed towards black women with our soccer community. This is unacceptable. We have listened. We are exhausted and once again, we are deeply disappointed. Nonetheless, we continue on to be clear the players at the center of these comments are sis women. However, the BWPC stands firmly in support of the trans community. The BWPC was founded to protect and uplift, black female athletes in and out of soccer, we denounce any ideology that seeks to detract from that purpose, and are exhausted by efforts to derail our access and to impact the beautiful game. As NWSL playoffs begin, our focus remains on increasing access to soccer and celebrating our community. We choose to focus on the incredible black women paving the way in our sport and our inaugural BWPPC combine for the next generation of Black soccer talent at the Allstate next wave national showcase. Sports are strongest when they every athlete is free to compete express themselves and exist authentically.

Good news for this book on #WNBA history has dark personal down side. Finishing chapter on 2022 season helped me to process and conclude:

1. I reject feeling SHAME for other people’s misdeeds or mistakes; and

2. I won’t stay SILENT about them anymore either.

I deeply respect Gift Monday's vulnerability on her personal social media over the recent loss of her father. She penned a very lovely letter to his memory.

Spirit goal, Gift Monday with a header that takes an eternity to get all the way into the bottom corner.

What a moment for her after losing her father during the intl. break. First game back after missing out at Utah with an excused absence.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
