I can’t chew a piece of gum for more than 10 minutes, much less a 90 minute soccer match.

Did they really show an ICE recruitment commercial during at NWSL match?

I came here to see what everyone was talking about, and I’m suddenly regretting curating my timeline to be mostly WoSo.
I don’t think Utah beating Portland is the news I’m looking for…

Marta’s angry face is terrifying.

It’s her time

Baring physical assault, I just don’t think the rules should allow for a red card AND a penalty for the same offense.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Patently absurd that the Democrats spent most of last week going after Zohran Mamdani instead of focusing on rallying against the bill

The administration has declared war on certain parts of the country directly and they are also intent in murdering their supporters in rural towns. That's what's happening. THAT is the story but there is no mainstream press to cover it. Instead we get stories about college kids being too censorious.

The contract on violence in America upholds that, first and foremost, it is white men who have the unquestionable right to use violence.

And this violence is not to defend people, but to defend who and what they view as their property.

Midge not coming out for the Gotham FC trophy presentation has me super worried.

This morning my son asked me why I chose Esther for my fantasy NWSL team and, well…

If you’re a Gotham FC STH, email your ticket rep and let them know you’re disappointed that the person harassing Banda was allowed to continue attending the match.

Thierry Henry was right: football/soccer needs to follow rugby’s lead and have the refs announce the reason for their decisions.

This is truly the most beautiful thing.

I’m watching the post for this nations league game with Thierry and I’m crying.

Roses are red
Violets are blue

I have a lot of concerns about teenagers playing in the NWSL as well.
My understanding of this situation is that age restrictions have to come from the PA and be part of a CBA to be legal.

If we want to see change, we need to start there (or listen to the players as to why they don’t want it)

While the big marches and big movements are hella important, too, small stuff is sometimes what makes an immediate life-and-death difference.

Do you like to bake? Ask a program you care about if you can throw them a bake sale. Got a large social media following? Do a flash fundraiser or education.

It’s not okay to speculate about a person being pregnant unless they have announced it. Even if that person is a professional athlete.

It’s not your business. Stop being creepy. #nwsl

the most important thing i believe i can do for my children, beyond ensuring that their basic needs are met, is to be someone with whom they can safely share their discoveries about themselves.

I hope everyone questioning WoSo players’ decisions to take a new last name when they marry hears Lynn’s story and recognizes that what a person chooses to call themselves is none of their business.

Everyone belongs and deserves to take up space in the gym.

And: please don’t do jumping jacks or floor work right next to the squat rack. It’s not safe for everyone involved.

Some of what Trump is attempting to do is unlawful, but some of his shadier maneuvers will likely be supported by the courts. SCOTUS is on his side. I don't say this to discourage people, but as a reminder that the law cannot be our bottom line. Our obligation is to each other, not the law.
