10 years ago, double post happened, leading to a first star.
3 years ago, we won a third star in DC.
It’s a pretty good day.

If you can, donate to a local food pantry/bank. form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/sunshin...

Does “tie goes to the runner” still exist?

How does a professional pitcher never pitch more than 2 innings?

On the plus side, I’ve folded all my laundry and cleaned my kitchen. Woof. Looks like I’m staying up to buy tickets

Want to watch the end of this game but also want to sleep a little before I wake up at 1am to buy concert tickets for shows in 1 year.

Yea, I know.

The Rose City Riveters continue to stand with our trans siblings in and out of the stadium.

We call upon the NWSL and Jessica Berman to condemn the statements made by Elizabeth Eddy and take steps to protect their players from hateful rhetoric like this. #BAONPDX

Rose City Riveters @rosecityriveters.org · May 2

🏳️‍⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.

In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.

No exceptions. ❤️🖤

#TransPeopleBelong

NWSL Supporter Groups

As NWSL supporters associations representing thousands of fans across the country, we invite the NWSL and its fans to join us in taking a vocal and visible stand in support of the transgender community and against all gender-based harassment.

Women's soccer exists because society refused to accept exclusion. Our game was built through generations of struggle-for gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Efforts to exclude trans athletes are fueled by the same forces of misogyny and bigotry that have long tried to dictate who belongs. These efforts undermine the spirit of women's sports and harm all athletes by reinforcing narrow, discriminatory ideas about gender.

From the field to the stands, the LGBTQ+ community has always been a vital and visible part of the NWSL, and for many of us, women's sport is a safe haven—a place where we have found community and belonging while being our full selves.

Come to an NWSL game, and you will see not just athleticism and competition, but joy and togetherness. Our league, where queer and trans kids can see themselves reflected on the field and in the stands, is proof that welcoming everyone makes us all safer.

Now, as the trans community faces escalating attacks driven by harmful legislation and damaging public rhetoric, we must continue that fight by standing firmly and vocally, together, for inclusion in sports. It is on all of us to ensure that every match, every event, and every space under the league's banner remains safe, inclusive, and free from hate-for everyone.

Silence is not neutrality. Speaking out matters. Showing your support for trans athletes, and trans people, matters. Let's work together to ensure women's soccer continues to be a space of inclusion, safety, and joy for all.

The NWSL's silence on its gender eligibility approach has invited harassment of players — and now, an op-ed from a current player calling for "a clear standard" to address a problem that doesn't exist.

NWSL’s lack of gender eligibility policy leaves players vulnerable – just not in the way you think

An op-ed from Angel City midfielder Elizabeth Eddy called for "a clear standard" to address a problem that doesn't currently exist.

Blue Jays fans chanted “We don’t need you” with Shohei Ohtani at the plate in the ninth inning.

Toronto nearly signed Ohtani in December 2023.
