Under her guidance it has a large commercial growth that disrespects the product, several player safety issues, and more than a few investigations that seem geared towards protecting the commercial growth and not the people who make it great (a pool that does not include Jessica, fyi)

someone send an anonymous poll to all owners... i just wanna see something

Of interest here, the contract was finalized and executed by the league's four-person executive committee, without a final vote from all owners.

Some source said that the committee was given that mandate earlier this summer. Others said they believed all owners should still vote.

A screenshot of Racing Louisville's post yesterday that said "tune in to Friday's match against the Chicago Fire..."

the Chicago Fire is the MLS team, the NWSL team is Chicago Stars

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.
