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.

The Weekend Match: Bedfont Sports 6-0 Fareham Town - Hold Me Like You'll Never Let Me Go
19 miles from Central London and barely a couple of hundred yards from Heathrow Airport you'll find a football team having a very nice afternoon indeed.

And the smartest thing Dano has done publicly is to do nothing. Clearly knows not to interrupt his enemy when they're making a mistake.
the thing about paul dano is i only know him from two movies.
little miss sunshine and there will be blood.
he does a perfectly fine job in both films and he doesn't seem out of place or bad when acting opposite daniel day-lewis which is no small thing.
so idk really where the hate is from..
