We did a thing!

And as always part of the proceeds will go to support our community here in DC with a portion of the funds being directed to the @washingtoninformer.com in a time when local journalism is being attacked.

nwsl owners are (still) using 'parity' to hide from ambition i hate this song

you really donโ€™t need artificial rules to achieve parity, all you actually need is owners who give a shit

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

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 lack of engagement from this skeet from traditional WoSo media is telling. Not surprising, but telling.

This, my friends, is backdoor union-busting by the NWSL. HIP basically strips agency and gains because players will feel pressure to perform through injury/health/personal matters so they donโ€™t lose a spot on an arbitrary list. #nwsl

We stand with the NWSLPA in its opposition to the High Impact Player (HIP) rule and urge the NWSL to negotiate with the Players Union as required by the collective bargaining agreement.ย 
The criteria for HIP status put forth by the league are arbitrary and unjust, largely leaving the earning potential of NWSL players in the hands of media members. Moreover, the HIP rule creates two tiers of players, will impact USWNT player development, and does not account for international player success.ย 
We condemn the NWSLโ€™s persistent attempts to interfere with fair pay, and we call on all fans to show the league that we stand with the players:ย 
	โ€ข	Block the NWSL on all social media platforms
	โ€ข	Boycott of merchandise from the NWSL shop
	โ€ข	Email your team and the league that you are opposed to the HIP rule and the leagueโ€™s refusal to bargain with the NWSLPA

This IMO gets at a big problem: there isn't a lot of proven, elite coaching talent in woso due to the lack of resources. The pool is shallow, and it's going to take a long time & focused effort to expand.

Until then, inexperienced folks or questionable CVs from broso are going to get gigs.
