Such a good point about how they expect investors to believe the NWSL is doing very well and they should want to be involved but at the same time for players to believe there’s no money to pay them. 🙄🙄🙄

The NWSL says the proposed new contract for Trinity Rodman violates the “spirit of the league”
The spirit of the league is not a part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement!

‘This is a tough league’: Temwa Chawinga on coping without her sibling and starring in NWSL
In an exclusive interview the younger Chawinga sister talks about missing her older sibling Tabitha, her hopes for Malawi and life at Kansas City Current
Kansas City Current’s Temwa Chawinga has doubled up as the NWSL’s top scorer and MVP for the second year in a row – just two years after Tabitha, her elder sister and mentor, was the Golden Boot winner with Internazionale in Italy’s Serie A Femminile. It is no exaggeration to describe the duo, from Malawi, as football’s equivalent of the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena.
“I hope Temwa and I get to meet them someday,” Tabitha says of the tennis legends. Now with French side OL Lyonnes, the 29-year-old insists that her younger sibling will have a more distinguished career despite setting an extremely high bar in the Swedish, Chinese and Italian leagues, in which Chawinga has won several Golden Boot and MVP awards.

I don’t understand why the @wnba.com (and @nwslsoccer.com while we’re at it) doesn’t seem to get this. If you want to be the best league in the world, you have to pay the players what they’re worth! Fans love the players, not the league, so if they go elsewhere we will follow. #WNBA

The owners/league are never the allies of the players, remember that. They want to exploit and extract maximum value from them while giving them as little as possible in return.

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.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

at this point, no matter the resolution, berman & nwsl owners have tarnished the league. we all knew this inflection point was coming and they still failed in the worst, most public way. i would pay to read the group chats of players everywhere discussing a league fighting a star’s $1m/yr contract.
"We expect the contract... and the free agency to be respected."
NWSLPA Executive Director Meghann Burke explains why the multimillion-dollar deal offered to Trinity Rodman by the Washington Spirit should stand.

@nwslsoccer.com We’d all like to know how you went from we’ll do everything possible to keep Trin to violating the CBA with this “spirit” bullshit when they found a solution?! She deserves that and more. Like a league that will actually support her.
The NWSLPA has filed a grievance with the NWSL on behalf of Trinity Rodman, arguing the league violated at least five different sections of the current collective bargaining agreement when it vetoed a proposed four-year, multi-million dollar deal between Rodman and the Washington Spirit.
