Gonna bump this again for anyone who missed it.
ICYMI: It was announced in a live press conference to media and fans that Trinity Rodman re-signs with the Washington Spirit on a 3-year deal through the 2028 season.
Her signing being marked as one of the most significant deals in NWSL history.

you really don’t need artificial rules to achieve parity, all you actually need is owners who give a shit

nwsl owners are (still) using 'parity' to hide from ambition

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

An expert panel without a single Black voice on it? I knew y'all thought we weren't smart. I didn't think you'd be so blatant. I didn't even see CAF representation despite having CAF players listed. Before you get mad at me for pointing it out, look within.
The ESPN FC top 50 is here and we need to talk about the sudden conflict of interest the league has created with the high-impact player rule.

With coaches and GMs weighing in on these lists, they can influence whether or not their players can get a bag.

The lack of engagement from this skeet from traditional WoSo media is telling. Not surprising, but telling.

This, my friends, is backdoor union-busting by the NWSL. HIP basically strips agency and gains because players will feel pressure to perform through injury/health/personal matters so they don’t lose a spot on an arbitrary list. #nwsl
Also, the criteria seems to disadvantage players who take significant time off due to injury, pregnancy, or mental health.

Email PARTAAAAYYY!
here’s a spreadsheet with everyone’s contact information! I highly recommend emailing the three people listed in the NWSL category and the person or people listed for your specific team. 😚

We stand with the NWSLPA in its opposition to the High Impact Player (HIP) rule and urge the NWSL to negotiate with the Players Union as required by the collective bargaining agreement.

This IMO gets at a big problem: there isn't a lot of proven, elite coaching talent in woso due to the lack of resources. The pool is shallow, and it's going to take a long time & focused effort to expand.

Until then, inexperienced folks or questionable CVs from broso are going to get gigs.
