Re the NWSL and (some of) its partnerships: xtramagazine.com/culture/wome...
I wrote about this regarding women’s leagues more generally! (I’ve also been raking Jessica Berman’s NWSL over the coals quite a bit in my newsletter):
We're delighted to welcome Camryn Miller as she starts her professional career with @bayfc.com! 🥳
The Univ of Virginia and Cincinnati Bearcats alum was one of Big 12’s top goalkeepers in 2025, tallying eight clean sheets and 74 saves.
We can't wait to see you on the pitch and cheer loudly for you! 💙
Another xOG FOP (Expected Own Goals Friend of the Pod) joined us today for NWSL Season Preview Week. @gnocchifc.bsky.social of @baygoalspod.bsky.social had lots to say about @bayfc.com, Claire Hutton, Onyeka Gamero and much much more.
Thanks... i hate this

Huge respect to USL players seeking a CBA that provides for protections (like health insurance) that should have been in place decades ago.
Not sure the in-stadium DJ in Lexington got the message.
The USLPA’s statement on tonight’s kickoff:
With a CBA deal still pending, Lexington and Louisville begin the season with a minute-long moment of stillness.
This is a huge story in US soccer right now, folks 👇

Unprompted by anything specific… worth noting that WIRED’s ASME award nominated package, “How To Win a Fight,” includes a piece on how to advocate for your trans and nonbinary neighbors:

Delighted to welcome ten-time Italian Serie A champion Cristiana Girelli to @bayfc.com 🇮🇹💙
She represented Italy in four Euros and two World Cup tournaments in her illustrious career.
We can't wait to see you showcase your leadership and never-say-die attitude on the pitch and cheer loudly for you!
For context, when Hutton and I spoke, she had not yet been traded to Bay FC. She represented the U20 team in 2024 during her rookie season with Kansas City. She has a chance to do so again, but this time she's in her 3rd #NWSL season, a regular starter, with a rising profile. Now she's with Bay FC
Ever think about how there are #USWNT players who could represent the team during World Cup qualifiers AND the U20 FIFA World Cup in 2026? I do! Claire Hutton is on a new trajectory in her young career. A new club, wearing the armband for USWNT, with more ahead ⬇️

With other teams finding a way to celebrate the Black community, nothing is not a choice, @washingtonspirit.com.
It would be nice for the Spirit to have a Black Excellence night during the season to celebrate the culture upon which this District was molded. It doesn’t have to be June 19th or February for Black excellence to be centered by any team.
