When I get asked why North American women, Black women, women of color aren’t coaching in the NWSL, I’m just going to send them this quote.
The good ol’ boys network in soccer is alive & well in 🇺🇸. That Chris Long is calling Jesse Marsch “looking for a coach” is a symptom of a systemic problem.
"Jesse Marsch gave me a call and said 'hey, a friend of mine that I went to college with [Chris Long] is looking for a coach. He asked me for someone and I had one name: yours." -Armas (? from Taylor Kauffman @kmbc9.bsky.social)
