I missed it before but Jill Ellis also filed a declaration for her defamation lawsuit. The most interesting part to me is this email from Bill Ordower (NWSL executive vp and chief legal officer). The redaction is mine - it isn't in the court filing.

no i do not want to give you my email for 10% off. and furthermore, I don’t think i should have to click a button that says “i’m a dumb bitch” to indicate that. you’re a website that sells blankets and you can’t speak to me like that.

This is a lose-lose for the ownership. Even if they win this fight they will lose in public opinion. It's win-win for Burke in that even if she loses it makes it seems like she is actually willing to fight for players, but this quote doesn't mirror her attitude towards smaller name players.
The NWSLPA has filed a grievance with the NWSL on behalf of Trinity Rodman, arguing the league violated at least five different sections of the current collective bargaining agreement when it vetoed a proposed four-year, multi-million dollar deal between Rodman and the Washington Spirit.

My guess is this is at least part of if not the whole reason behind what put the kibosh on the contract. You can't agree to something you don't yet have. Sounds like those last two years on the contract rely on the salary cap increasing due to an as yet to be determined media revenue.

I dont know how Berman thinks they will be able to keep Rodman without allowing the Spirit to blur the line on the salary cap, but this was actually the right call which she probably only made because she has the other owners to answer to as well who aren't willing to spend the type of cash Kang is.

Ally Schlegel is departing Chicago Stars FC after three seasons, which comes as no surprise after the club declined her 2026 contract option. Regardless, this move makes no sense. at @OnTapSportsNet #NWSL #WithTheStars

If I were Chicago FO/PR I probably would’ve announced my EOY roster decisions before dropping the Schlegel video and Pinto news but what do I know…

also it's patently disrespectful of the organization to give Ally Schlegel a goodbye video from the club and not doing the same for at least Ava Cook, Cari Roccaro and Alyssa Naeher

the first three paragraphs of the announcement has zero info that should be included in an end-of-year roster release. the paragraph about signing Brianna Pinto is not typical for this type of press release. again, please be normal Chicago. We just want professionalism #WithTheStars #NWSL

This is true of basically every trad wife you’ve heard of. They are not trad wives. They reap the benefits that feminism has won for them and then they grift off pretending to be trad. Women who actually follow their supposed ideals suffer in silence

The other thing about the OU student who wrote the bad essay on God-given gender roles is that she herself is rejecting those religious ideals about femininity by going to college, playing a sport, and having a mother who is a media personality and lawyer for Jan 6ers. Trad for thee but not for me

When the Red Stars under Arnim Whisler's inept tutelage did a better job, it might be time to start reconsidering some things. Namely, just how committed new ownership actually is.
Not that anyone really cares but I was told in January that the club would start sending stuff like this on embargo so media wouldn’t be thrown off. That hasn’t happened other than Taylor Malham’s extension, which they delayed the announcement for at least twice

Well shit. Yet another player Nahas and Thackeray messed up with. Hopefully she'll get the playing time she deserves up there.

Maybe now someone will circle back to the Courage's bs with Sean Nahas? This move says a lot more about NC than Chicago.

While I’m here complaining, there should never be an exclamation point in corporate announcements. Just edit what was sent, everyone would be happy

The bare minimum would be sending the announcement to media via email at the same time you make social posts, but Chicago clearly needs the social engagement for their own channels
