Somewhere ranting about Washington Spirit and #USWNT. Reformed “I don’t watch sports” gay. Still confused about the different positions in basketball.

Haley, Kang, and Trin’s people were like yea yea we’ll take the salary cap rule or whatever, but uhh we already told congress y’all were fuckin around breakin rules soooo 🤷🏾‍♀️😬
A rule change on the NWSL salary cap is imminent from the NWSL board of governors that could help pay top players like Trinity Rodman. No new contract yet though — and Congress has taken interest, too 👀

New at @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...
NWSL board in advanced talks to add funds to pay players like Rodman competitive salaries: Sources
Trinity Rodman's ongoing negotiations were the impetus for the board vote, but sources say the rule is bigger than one player.

Welp, it finally happened. I booked a flight out of Dulles months ago, only to forget and show up at DCA 🤣 thank goodness I got there early with plans to hang at the lounge…and that an uber driver was willing to make the drive 🙃

Like Gotham, babe…her being Israeli is one thing, I’m not griping about that. But she plays for the national team and she doesn’t have to. Would turning it down stunt her career? Sure. But ya know what else stunts your career? BEING KILLED DURING A GENOCIDE.

I would like this entire sequence injected in my veins and then possibly tattooed on my forehead.
I’m going to nominate a defensive play that exemplifies the hustle & heart of this team

We all remember Kouassi’s equalizer against Rahsing, but that all starts with her getting knocked down defending one opponent, getting up & hustling to take the ball away from another before going on her run

Company holiday party went well. And then we all moved to a bar. And then someone vomited on me.

I am actually unwell.

Okay, seriously last thing. We treat athletes in women's sports like they should be above chasing the money like their male counterparts. Players want to make millions. They leave to make millions. Being a woman doesn't change that desire. Pony up. Time's ticking.

We aren’t going to see the best of Croix if all she gets is garbage minutes, and that’s incredibly frustrating. I know Emma has favorites (and I’m not just talking about the captain) but Croix brings something incredibly unique and special and Emma refuses to see it.

Emma’s gonna have an Alanna size bruise tomorrow 😬

Ok well that was dumb you were supposed to leave Lily on and take the potato out 🙄

You know who would’ve gotten around the keeper a minute ago there?

Croix. That’s who.
