If TERFism is allowed into the NWSL, it will 100% be on Jessica Berman

Transphobic clothing brand feels every athlete has a price - Outsports Anti-trans activewear XX-XY teams up with sports shock jock Clay Travis to pay athletes to speak out against trans women.

From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:

Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had β€œseveral males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to β€œspeak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

NEAT.

How New Mexico United has become the USL’s top coaching factory With a track record of sending managers to MLS and a rising young coach at the helm of this year’s trophy contender, New Mexico is doing plenty right.

New Mexico United has become one of the USL’s most consistent organizations, one that’s a springboard into the MLS coaching ranks.

What makes United so resilient and so successful? I spoke to sporting director Itamar Keinan to find out.

Ridiculous thing for Nancy to say, but he knows how desperate to be taken seriously by the Old Dogs MLS is. We have, for the most part, 4 distinct seasons here whose extremes prove dangerous to fan, staff, & player health & safety that will be increased if this change is made

It took me like six years to get my dad to understand the away goals tiebreaker and then MLS just got rid of it and now I’m gonna have to explain that there are divisional champs who simultaneously are and are not champions but also the playoffs have a losers bracket and that’s just the apertura and

Why wouldn't you just literally CREDIT me the paltry $20 for losing channels, YouTubeTV? Why on earth do subscribers need to jump through a bunch of hoops for it [rhetorical]? Do you see how that actually ADDS to ppl's impulse to flee?

Screen grab of a text in which I tell my ex that I've been in a room w Carli Lloyd & Alexi Lalas for the past hour, & Myers replies, "OMG. Are you a hostage? Do you need me to call the police?'

Always a bit sad when a season of The Great British Bake-Off ends, but especially after this year's season. I wanted to be friends (or.. ) with all of them!

The Seattle Sounders will never stop innovating. One year after they advance in the first round after not winning a game, they lose in the first round after not losing a game. You absolutely have to hand it to them.

But if the league continues w leadership that looks likely to turn on its queer fan base, a fan base that's been loyal &, imo, helped put WoSo on the map, they are in for a rude awakening

Over the course of the past 4 yrs, my opinion of Berman has plummeted due entirely to her own decisions, words, & critical inaction. When I was well into #BermanOut sentiment, her contract was extended. Now, I have to see KC put a RWer on NWSL's Rich People Board of Something. I fear for the league

Berman wants people to chill because she’s worried about messing up NWSL’s money whilst her lack of action is the reason people are speaking up. Her ability to avoid and ignore accountability is destructive and terrifying
