Big takeaways from this signing: First NWSL transfer signing, second signing loaned to Liga MX Femenil, signed until 2029 (which I believe makes her the longest contracted player for Boston). #NWSL #BostonLegacyFC

jessica berman doesn’t deserve the league and its players. she made a name for herself by being slightly better than lisa baird – primarily by not getting in the way of the nwslpa. now that she has clout and notoriety, and feels important, she’s consistently made choices that prioritize her ego.
