Often in men's sports the only way to get a league to act right is to pull sponsorship $, but Andrea Brimmer knew taking money out of the NWSL when the players reported abuse would only discourage female athletes from speaking out, so Ally leaned in instead. So much good stuff in here from her👇

It’s almost time!!
Also, I would’ve been so distracted if my teams ever had to play next to an active airport.
I think a lot of these activations - even the well intentioned ones - struggle with the “wait what it is” question, but at least this one is pretty straightforward? 🙃

I somehow convinced myself that the correct spelling was “Lauren Holliday”
Just me or another example of the Mandela effect? 😂
Our 2nd annual @espn.com anonymous #NWSL general manager survey is here, and the clearest trend from hours of interviews over the past two months is what's now playing out: concern about the limitations of the salary cap, and the inability to retain and attract the world's top players (inc. #USWNT).

Hey, Gotham FC, just making sure y’all are working on those post-championship parade plans, ya know, just in case ya need them.
First thought upon seeing the LA2028 schedule:
Katie Ledecky will have lots of time to rest for her races after she helps light the Olympic cauldron.
Loved being back in the interview chair to get to know Alli, Lauren and Sam Macuga!! ⛷️
