As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

If television rights holders are able to successfully monetize hydration breaks by cutting to commercial, these breaks will effectively become TV timeouts that, once in, will be difficult to remove from the game going forward.
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Every 2026 World Cup game will pause for three minutes in the middle of each half for a “hydration break”, FIFA announced. The new measure will essentially split the match into quarters, a la basketball or American football.

hey a fun thing is that if congress is delegating authority to an independent agency then by definition that agency is not "unaccountable." it is still accountable to congress. and it is interesting (read: extremely frustrating) to me that these people just write congress out of existence here.
Kavanaugh: Broad delegations to unaccountable agencies are dangerous for individual liberty! We have used the major questions doctrine to prevent agencies from overreaching.

“In most leagues and tournaments, if it’s a cool 70 degrees Fahrenheit, matches don’t pause mid-half.
“In 2026, for the first time at a World Cup, they’ll pause no matter what, around 22 minutes into each half.”

You're not addressing the premise of my remarks, that Kamala failed as a candidate. If she really wanted Mayor Pete, there should have been no such thing as, "It's too much" because a real leader makes their vision triumph. Small mindedness doomed her.

President Trump’s mass deportation agenda continues to fuel violence and violate constitutional rights, even against lawful observers and elected officials who show up for their communities.
Showering Tucson community members, journalists, and elected officials with pepper spray and tear gas during peaceful observation and protest is another example of ICE and Border Patrol's lawlessness—conduct that is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated anywhere.
