The profound level of disrespect NWSL broadcasters have shown for the players, teams, fans, and sport itself in 2025 has to change.

love to have NWSL's broadcast partner CBS running a whole CarMax ad during a player substitution and proceed to miss an entire goal by KC Current

It’s never lost on me that NWSL pays for PRO2 level referees because they can’t/won’t pay for the PRO level and at some point, all the owners in the league are going to need to talk about that if they want to be serious

Ella Brockway @ellabrockway.bsky.social · 27d

Trinity Rodman speaks out on the refereeing in yesterday’s Spirit-Wave game. (You probably know this, but poor officiating has been a theme across the league this NWSL season.)

“This is one of many examples…. Refs need to be better at managing these games. No words”

One of our favorite five year olds explained this important footie fact: “if you’re a goalie, you can touch the ball because you have gloves on to protect you from goose poop.”

1) Good for the players for walking out
2) Homophobia in fútbol remains a major problem that leagues need to be better equipped to handle

Sports Media LGBT+ @sportsmedialgbt.com · Sep 28

A statement shared by the team reported that the game has been "abandoned at half time following a homophobic slur".

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack
