More reasons to question Hayes' leadership
I asked Emma Hayes today:
How are the players in #USWNT camp taking in all that’s going on in Minnesota and nationwide?
How is she handling it with a squad that's not just younger than usual, but is missing many names who regardless of age might lead on this?
And how is she processing it herself?

![First of all, my condolences are to all the family members for those victims. Because it doesn't matter - I can sit here and talk about the loss of tragic life everywhere.
It's not something that first of all, as a mother, I want to see. It's upsetting on so many levels to see that happen, and I think they're in everybody's minds.
But I haven't spoken about it with the squad, genuinely.
I think the way we structure our camps, there's not a lot of sit-down time. Though I have got a Lego time today with them, another one, and paint-by-numbers - because I like that one too.
[I note here, not to opine on Emma’s words in the moment of reporting them: if you’ve seen her Instagram feed, you know she’s been doing this both as a mental activity and having players engage with her son Harry. - JT]
But we haven't spoken about it. And maybe that's because they're all reasonably new to camp, and whether they're familiar with it or not, whether they're comfortable talking about it or not, I don't know. But it hasn't been a topic of conversation this week in camp.
And perhaps they're having it amongst themselves, but they're definitely not having it in front of me. But I know that each and every one of them would feel equally empathetic and thoughtful about it and it's not something that any of us enjoy seeing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gj2bc6vdtaw5mfhzhzdxr3j3/bafkreiahy5tkjv6neplwf5kdoelwgfuk6pizf7ukr6qkiordjk7pb7yzmm@jpeg)

The team with more experience was able to pull it out in the end. The Rams have a coach and QB who both know how to win in the playoffs and win super bowls.
For the first time in my life I think my team has a coach and a QB who can actually learn how to do that. What a special feeling.

I went from being a fan of a pathetic, unwatchable team to a fan of a team who has:
A top head coach
A high-ceiling defense
Endlessly rewatchable moments
One of the most exciting QBs in the league who is unashamedly himself and does not conform to hyper-masculine gender roles
I love the Bears.

@heyspirits.bsky.social legit question-- given the unusually large sample size of FOUR games this year, and the context of each- 3-0 thrashing by gotham on the road, shorthanded draw at home, 0-0 road draw where Adrian admitted he wasnt sure how to break them down, and the final win--

Every time I watch the Titans I'm like holy shit this team sucks but Cam Ward is pretty damn good. I'd feel good about the kid if I were a titans fan

@heyspirits.bsky.social Rumi truly strikes me as one of the loveliest people in the world. The moment she starts speaking I just smile. So happy she went on the pod, if just for a few moments!
