An expert panel without a single Black voice on it? I knew y'all thought we weren't smart. I didn't think you'd be so blatant. I didn't even see CAF representation despite having CAF players listed. Before you get mad at me for pointing it out, look within.

The lack of engagement from this skeet from traditional WoSo media is telling. Not surprising, but telling.

This, my friends, is backdoor union-busting by the NWSL. HIP basically strips agency and gains because players will feel pressure to perform through injury/health/personal matters so they don’t lose a spot on an arbitrary list. #nwsl

Email PARTAAAAYYY!

Sucks to suck. 🙅🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾

Great question! The bat signal is out for a Google doc!

We, and our fellow independent supporters groups, stand with the players.

We stand with the NWSLPA in its opposition to the High Impact Player (HIP) rule and urge the NWSL to negotiate with the Players Union as required by the collective bargaining agreement.

This IMO gets at a big problem: there isn't a lot of proven, elite coaching talent in woso due to the lack of resources. The pool is shallow, and it's going to take a long time & focused effort to expand. Until then, inexperienced folks or questionable CVs from broso are going to get gigs.

We stand with the @nwslplayers.bsky.social in their fight against this anti labor rule imposed by @nwslsoccer.com, Jessica Berman, and all the cheap owners unwilling to pay the players what they’re worth.

There's a powerful illustration here regarding "influencers" vs. "experts".

🗣️ Once again for Jessica in the back!

michele is better than me, ain't gonna be no smilin, teeheehee'in or armrest sharin

WEEZY F AND THE F IS FOR F*@CK YEAH!

Gotham, please stop diving.

HT | 0-0 Tense first half! Gotham had the ball in the net early but was offside. Spirit were quite tense early but grew into the match thanks to some smart problem solving. Still a bit more hesitant in some situations, getting caught by Gotham's press. Second half coming up, should see Trin soon.

The city deserves it.
