Started in this league as a player. Now I stand in it as a leader. With that comes the responsibility to champion what makes this league and game special.

P, you’re exactly what makes our space special. Wherever your path takes you, whatever kit you wear, know this: we’ve got your back. 💪

was messaging with Rachael about this and took a swing at putting this statement by Sarah Gorden and Angelina into text form for the wider public

Lisa
Sarah and Angelina would like to say something at the top of the call. Once they wrap this piece of what they want to say, they will not be taking any additional questions about the topic, that they are going to open with. And so with that, I'm going to throw it to our captain, Sarah Gordon.

Sarah
Well, first off, I just want to say that, going into this, I'm a little bit nervous because I think, it's a big job to represent your team and speak for your team. And not just that, speak for others, who this will be important to. We've all obviously seen the article that was written in the New York Post earlier this week. So I really want to start off by saying that that article does not speak for this team in this locker room. I've had a lot of combos with my teammates, in the past few days, and they are hurt and they are harmed by the article. And also they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article.And it's really important for me to say that, and we don't agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well. The article calls for genetic testing on certain players, and it has a photo of an African player as a headline. And that's very harmful.

(1/3)

Sarah
And to me, it's inherently racist because to single out this community, based on them looking or being different is, is absolutely a problem and as a mixed woman, with a black family, I'm devastated, by the undertones of this article. And I feel very protective of my teammates and this community, who are also hurt by this.And that includes staff and everyone who is a supporter and a fan. And there are players in this league and in this locker room that are directly harmed by what was written in the article. So for that, I just want to say I am so, so sorry. For anyone hurt by this or anyone harmed by this, and please know that I do speak for the team when I say we do support you. You don't have to look like me. You don't have to look like Ange or you don't have to look like somebody from Orange County to be accepted and celebrated here. And it's really important that, you know that that is the true message, from this locker room and the team

(2/3)

Angelina
Well said, Sarah. And just to add on to that, for me personally, when I think of LA and I think of Angel City, I think of a place that was founded upon inclusivity and love for all people. That's what our locker room is. That's what our staff is. That's what our fan base is. Angel City is a place for everyone.It always will be. That's how it was from the beginning. That's how it always will be. Period. And I think this situation, you know, there's, Lisa, you kind of touched on it. There's an element of timing to it where this feels like another really big challenge that we have to go through as a team, on top of an already really challenging year.And it's definitely not the note that we as a group want to end on. And so I just want everyone to know that we're doing our best in the locker room to preserve respect and belonging on this team. And, we look forward to ending the season on as positive of a note as possible.

Lisa
Thank you. As someone who's known to you for a very long time, I was very proud of you for your statement. And that is a personal. But I really appreciate you stepping up in this way as captains do.

The Angel City Valkyries strongly condemn the op-ed piece from Elizabeth Eddy yesterday. We call on Angel City FC and the NWSL to take swift and forceful action against this despicable rhetoric.

SNAP Benefits are being halted on 11/1 in the US due to government shutdown and the government not giving a shit about its people during it. This is how millions of low income families survive.

For todays Pokal games, well be donating 5 dollars for every goal scored to @fooddepository.bsky.social

Sounders, what if you didn't give me a heart attack every game and just won a game in a tidy fashion? no? ok 🙃

I will say the club didn't know about the interview until it was aired, she got permission from TOC to use their facilities.

I'm just tryna watch the final with friends in a suite, but I can't because the league took em all and PayPal Park ghosted me on the first rep and the call drops after 8 mins. I'm having so much fun 🥲
