14.01.2026 18:09 — 👍 42 🔁 3 💬 1 📌 0A screenshot of text that reads as follows: Asheville, N.C. — January 14, 2026 — On Monday, the National Women’s Soccer League Players Association (NWSLPA) filed a formal grievance challenging the League’s unilateral implementation of the “High Impact Player (HIP) Rule,” a player compensation rule implemented without bargaining and in violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and federal labor law. On December 23, 2025, the NWSL implemented the HIP Rule without bargaining with the Players Association, despite repeated objections and a clear demand to negotiate. The rule creates a new compensation mechanism that allows teams to spend up to $1 million above the salary cap on select Players who meet League-defined criteria, while simultaneously reducing those Players’ salary cap charges. Consistent with its commitment to bargain in good faith, the NWSLPA has proposed instead that the NWSL simply increase the salary cap by $1 million. Player compensation is a mandatory subject of bargaining. The CBA comprehensively governs salaries, the team salary cap, and free agency. The Players Association maintains that the League has no authority to unilaterally create a new pay structure that bypasses negotiated rules.
A screenshot of text that reads as follows: “This was a unilateral decision by the League to change how a Player's fair market value is evaluated,” said Meghann Burke, Executive Director of the NWSLPA. “We agree that increasing investment in Player compensation is necessary to remain competitive in the global labor market. The solution is straightforward and collectively bargained by raising the salary cap. What the League cannot do is invent a parallel pay system outside the salary cap that was never negotiated, then limit access to compensation through League-controlled criteria that excludes some Players." “We agree that growing investment in Players is important for the league’s future. But lasting progress requires a clear, shared process with Players involved. That’s how you build a market that is stable and fair,” said Tori Huster, Deputy Executive Director of the NWSLPA. The NWSLPA is seeking immediate rescission of the HIP Rule, an order requiring the League to bargain in good faith over any proposed Player compensation rules prior to implementation, and to make-whole relief for any Players impacted by the League’s unilateral actions. The grievance was filed pursuant to Article 18 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

1 - $800k Lumdila to Wave from Stars

4 - $175k Savannah MCaskill to Gotham from Wave

preseason XI looks like this so far? Probably looking at maybe moving one of the -inhas to ST for Mel B. Midfield still dreadfully slow without Fazer in there.
