People were not “laid off” or “RIF’d”. We need a new word for the weaponized dismantling of a workforce in service of a political goal to destroy an institution from the inside.

Trinity Rodman has the blend of talent and charisma that makes a genuine star. It sounds obvious, but having her stateside benefits the entire U.S. soccer landscape way more than it does one single team.
Who's the first person you see in Adidas's opening ad for the 2026 *men's* World Cup? Rodman.

I've said this multiple times, but it's just so obvious that it behooves the NWSL, each NWSL club, the decision-makers in the league office, to keep Rodman (who by all accounts is leaving money on the table!) in the NWSL.
The existing arguments to the contrary simply do not hold water.

As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

Man, what a frustrating end to a season.
Yes, the 73rd-80th minute stretch swung this game, but there were issues beyond that. Spirit couldn't capitalize on the 10-minute stretch with Reale on the yellow. Nothing from three corners in three minutes. Zero (0) shots on target.
