This is some bullshit on SEVERAL different levels. It conveniently ignores the former openly trans NWSL players because it doesn’t fit the anti-trans/“save women’s sports” propaganda and fuels the hatred towards Black women who play in the NWSL (it wasn’t just Banda who was targeted by those people)

In addition to any moral or competitive arguments, 1. This is a fake problem. There aren't any trans women in NWSL. There aren't any trans women in the immediate pipeline that I'm aware of. 2. Using Banda for the cover photo here is obviously just extremely racist.

“Alyssa feels like home.” 🥺 Alyssa Naeher is meat and potatoes, just like Sam and Kristie, and that’s why they love her 🥩🥔

“I was able to do everything that I had set out to do – and then some” Alyssa Naeher returns to her home state to celebrate her decorated career with the USWNT

17-YEAR-OLD LENNART KARL BECAME BAYERN'S YOUNGEST-EVER UCL GOALSCORER MIDWEEK AND THEN SCORES AN INSANE GOAL TODAY! WHAT A TALENT 🔥

Big order of business done for the Chicago Stars: They've re-signed defender Sam Staab through 2029. If there's any non-Mal Swanson player to keep as a cornerstone of this next era, it's her.

The Chicago Stars got their butts kicked. "A team up against this kind of fight might typically look inward, dig deep, and remember who they are. The thing is, after 4 different head coaches on the season, who are they supposed to be?" @lesleyryder.bsky.social galpalsports.com/db/wtf-was-t...

if you give money to someone unhoused, it is no longer yours to decide what to do with it. they have a right to choose how to spend it and how to cope with being unhoused. this includes self-medication

The Südkurve protesting against Jérôme Boateng returning to the club 'Whoever gives the perpetrator space bears his guilt - Boateng, pi*s off!' 'No place for character pigs in our club. No more place for Boateng' 'No stage/platform for perpetrators. Pi*s off Boateng!'

Us reading all the retirement news this week

The profound level of disrespect NWSL broadcasters have shown for the players, teams, fans, and sport itself in 2025 has to change.

It’s never lost on me that NWSL pays for PRO2 level referees because they can’t/won’t pay for the PRO level and at some point, all the owners in the league are going to need to talk about that if they want to be serious

Inexcusable from CBS Sports Network. You don't need to sell every last second of ad inventory that's not nailed down at the risk of missing the game's most crucial moment.

missing a goal because of a full screen ad is inexcusable and nasty work. you have to have a lot more care about the product you're airing; and for the nwsl, the product you're selling.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

this reminds me, naeher saved that shit

Alyssa Naeher comes up big to deny from the spot! 💥

Holy shit. This is fucking evil.

This is too many platforms and I don’t understand this strategy

My opinion that always remains unchanged no matter who gets shot or does the shooting is that we should repeal the 2nd amendment and take everyone's guns away

So that’s yellow just to Jospeh? Come on man.

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Ludmila with 9 goals on the season jumps to 3rd place in the Golden Boot race 👀

the covid vaccine was a legitimate miracle

Facial and biometric recognition surveillance should be banned. Entirely and completely. Continuing to use technology that has, time and time again, surfaced its racist, ableist, and classist foundations is lethal for everyone.

Fuck ICE

Bella Chow

Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.

Does a crown count as a hat? 👑👑👑 Ludmila scores a hat trick in an unreal 10 minutes and 9 seconds, a new NWSL record 🤯

WOWZERS

A hat trick in less than 10 minutes. Take a bow, Ludmila.

Threatening to punish team ownership for doing what you, as commissioner, failed to do [protect players, fans, and staff on gameday] is despicable behaviour. #BermanOut

So deserved. That’s our Cap!

Fun fact: all three goalkeeper goals in #NWSL history were at-the-death equalizers. And two of them (Naeher and Bella Bixby) secured 3-3 draws for their teams!

It’s so beautiful 😭😭😭

oh god this is such a cursed game from a team already having a cursed season

Ms. Rachel has a message for children in Gaza and around the world.

Mask up, friends! And foes! I also want my foes to mask up! Everyone mask up! 😷

Well said, Mo Salah. Suleiman al-Obeid was shot dead by IDF forces whilst waiting for food aid in southern Gaza.

For the last two years, major newspapers should have tried printing mostly-blank pages which only bore the headlines "Below is the reporting that Israel is allowing us to make from Gaza".
