Yeah, I think the rule was specifically designed to put us in the best possible position to attract and retain elite talent, and that was the role, and that's how the rule was created. It was also created with incorporating a lot of the feedback that we've heard from elite players around the world, who have told us specifically that they not only want to make sure that they're paid appropriately, but that they get to play in an environment where there are other top players. And so the mechanism of the high impact player rule actually rewards or creates an incentive for clubs to not only go out and believe players, but it creates space within the salary cap to surround that player with other top talent, and that is really the role of the league, is to create policy that drives the behavior we want to see inside our ecosystem, by our clubs.

I asked Jessica Berman what makes the HIP rule preferable to raising the salary cap:

"our policy is our practice" is how a player died on the field and there was no adult to talk to at 10pm est. Maybe write something down

Jonathan Tannenwald from the top rope on the very corporate language growing a trust gap between the league and fans right now

The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
