So since Utah has no snow, will the RHOSLC have to hold water droplets instead of snowflakes next season?

You want to know how I know Jessica Berman is wrong? The photo of @kate-f.bsky.social’s daughter Juju with a homemade Hal Hershfelt cape. That’s how I know what this league means to young fans. That’s how I know Berman is wrong. Young fans care more about the NWSL than anyone
My most recent email to Jessica Berman.

In case anyone's curious what #NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman is up to this week, she's speaking at the World Sports Summit in Dubai, organized and funded by the crown prince of Dubai.

1. xog doing gods work clipping this so i don’t have to listen to any more of this
2. i hated literally all of her answers, so much so i might have to do a blog about it

most egregious is the belief that TWENTY FOUR YEAR OLDS can’t watch a 90 minute game…. that’s bachelor degree holding adults lol
Here are Berman's comments during the panel.

Cori Close is right to be disappointed in the lack of media coverage yesterday.

Everyone watches women’s sports, but no one wants to pay a beat writer to cover them.

How many stories are being left on the table?

An expert panel without a single Black voice on it? I knew y'all thought we weren't smart. I didn't think you'd be so blatant. I didn't even see CAF representation despite having CAF players listed. Before you get mad at me for pointing it out, look within.
The ESPN FC top 50 is here and we need to talk about the sudden conflict of interest the league has created with the high-impact player rule.

With coaches and GMs weighing in on these lists, they can influence whether or not their players can get a bag.

Government services aren't businesses. Delivering mail to citizens is something we pay for.

But if these are businesses, you won't believe how much money the military loses.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

So, if you’re an NWSL GM, you are not allowed to decide yourself — using all of the tools of a pro team’s front office — that a Player has a High-enough Impact to warrant a certain salary. But you *are* allowed to vote on a list that would determine that that Player has a High-enough Impact.

Sure.

this is the other thing, the league asked for an extension on the grievance then used it to rush this across the line knowing the nwslpa already objected to it. they’re attempting to use the holiday to force a concession.
Doing this right before Christmas is extra nasty, btw. I know what you are, NWSL.

....the solution seems simple, and the NWSLPA has said as much. whack $1m on the cap and move on.

if certain teams don't want to spend $4.5m in 2026, they won't. it seems strange to me for the NWSL to do everything in their power to prevent what seems like an obvious solution.

aside from the labor issues, media bias, and union disapproval, making player value based on media perception and marketability rather than performance is so small time and so so american (derogatory)

it just tells everyone outside of this league that the nwsl isn’t a serious footballing™️ league

Need someone to verify, but I think this is the list of USWNT players who are eligible for HIP and the first method by which they qualify (several qualify through multiple categories)

Players like Lily Yohannes, Jaedyn Shaw, Catarina Macario, and Alyssa Thompson wouldn't qualify!

Taking the ability to determine who a High Impact Player is out of the hands of teams, GMs, front offices, etc. and into the hands of the *checks notes* SportsPro Media Top 150 Most Marketable Athletes … man, I don’t know.

It’s almost like the Black players are about to miss out on the money because of this new rubric.

one reason i adore women's sports is because large portions of every fanbase aren't fooled by bullshit. most fans in men's sports accept pro-owner/anti-labor arguments, but nwsl and wnba fans right now are both saying 'nope we see what you're trying to do, just pay players what they're worth k thx.'
