It genuinely makes no sense and their "methodology" is just a bunch of sports buzz words with %s beside them...

I'm glad we learned lessons. Seeing a player collapse is deeply traumatic. All my thoughts and prayers to Savannah and the players and staff of both teams.

This really should be the final straw for Berman’s regime. You can’t change policy without notice, especially when it’s CBA negotiated.

On top of changing the frequency of tests, the swapped language also removed the policy of consulting with team officials on whether to resume play.

The NWSL quietly updated its public-facing extreme heat policy since the Aug 16 delay in KC. The league says the edits aligned the external doc with a change that was implemented internally in 2023; the NWSLPA says it was not aware of the removal of a key clause. My report for the Guardian‬:
NWSL quietly updated heat policy after game in soaring temperatures, creating confusion amid delays
After the Kansas City Current and Orlando Pride were made to play in searing heat, the Guardian has found that changes to league policy may have affected the handling of the delayed game

This is basically being hyped that about 4% of Torontonians watch MLS games, eventhough it's a product available to all of the US and Canada 😭

Don Garber offers a rare number on Apple streaming: "We're averaging 120,000 unique viewers per match. That's an increase of almost 50% from last year."

Says "distribution" through cable and satellite box subscriptions has helped.

This is a post I’ve been wanting to make for a long time, but I wanted to take the time to do it right.

I really enjoyed doing all the research that went into this and learning more about what the Northern Lights mean to different Indigenous communities.
nlights-sg.bsky.social Northern Lights SG @nlights-sg.bsky.social · Jun 25
Part of what drew us to naming ourselves after the northern lights is that they’re one element that ties together many cultural myths.

So, for #NIHM2025, we’re sharing what they mean to Indigenous communities across Turtle Island.

#indigenoushistorymonth #indigenoushistory
Text: “National Indigenous History Month: Northern Lights Legends. Canada is home to more than 600 First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, and many have their own versions of legends about the northern lights. Here are a few of them.” The background image features a night sky with red, purple, and green Northern Lights, accompanied by a white monochrome Northern Lights SG logo. Text: ”Algonquin: Algonquin peoples tied the Aurora to their cultural hero, Nanabozho. They believed that after creating the world and travelling north, he built a fire so large that it could be seen from their lands around the Great Lakes to remind them he was still thinking of them. Dene: One Dene myth is tied to the story of a young boy who became a gifted healer. He used the Aurora as a guide to a distant land to heal the sick; however, he became trapped on the other side until the northern lights reappeared to guide him home.” The background image features a light purple night sky over a coniferous forest. Text: “Cree: In many Cree legends, the Aurora are the spirits of departed ancestors dancing and trying to communicate with their loved ones. When they are bright, they are happy to see you and how you’re living your life. Children are taught not to whistle or clap at them, so as not to anger them or be taken away.” The background image is a continuation of the last slide. Text: “Inuit: Further north, many Inuit peoples also believe the Aurora are the spirits of ancestors. In some of their legends, the twisting lights are ancestors playing a game of kicking a walrus skull “ball”, while in others, it’s walrus spirits who kick a human skull. Not all Indigenous groups viewed the lights as friendly, though. Other Inuit communities in Alaska and around Hudson Bay dreaded the lights. The Tlingit, for example, believe the lights are people who have passed in traumatic ways, such as murder or suicide and that it is bad luck to look at the lights for fear they may take you with them in their loneliness.” Background image features a bright strip of purple, white and green northern lights in a blue night sky over snow.

Savy needed CPR on the field, WDYM the league didn't think that was serious enough 😵‍💫
tayvincent6.bsky.social Taylor Vincent @tayvincent6.bsky.social · May 10
The newly released statement by the NWSL implies that the incident was not deemed a serious enough injury to either trigger the current protocols or that the protocol was triggered and then not deemed serious enough to cancel the match

Bigger than sports. We will forever and always advocate for the trans community and ensure sports are for everyone. Thank you to all the NSL SGs for writing this with us.

As NSL and CANXNT supporters’ groups, we are committed to equality and inclusion on and off the field, at all levels of this game that we love. We stand in solidarity and profoundly support the trans community, who will always be welcome at our stadium and in our community!
Statement from Northern Super League and Canadian Women’s National Team Supporter Groups We, the undersigned supporters’ groups of the Northern Super League and the Canadian Women’s National Team, stand in unequivocal solidarity with trans athletes and the broader trans community. The recent announcements by the English FA and Scottish FA to ban transgender individuals from participating in their football programs are discriminatory, harmful, and run counter to the very spirit of the game we love. Football is for everyone– no matter your gender identity. As supporters’ groups, we believe in building communities rooted in inclusion, equality, and joy. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary people belong. They all deserve the right to play, compete, and thrive in sports without exclusion or prejudice. We reject policies that target and marginalize trans athletes under the guise of fairness. There is no fairness in fear... There is no justice in exclusion. There is no pride in sport when they don’t welcome everyone. We are proud to support a league and national team already committed to equality, gender recognition of its players and setting an example for others to follow. We call on the Canadian Soccer Association, the Northern Super League, and all affiliated clubs to reaffirm their commitment to inclusion and make clear that trans people will always be welcome on our pitches, in our stands, and in our communities. Football belongs to everyone. We will never stop fighting to keep it that way.

We've moved from constant photos of dismembered children to skin and bones children and I cannot focus on anything else other than being heartbroken for them.

How are we allowing this and pretending like it's not happening?

For shame, NCAA. 10 trans athletes. Ten. You could have had a backbone but instead you choose to throw ten people under the bus. So much for a "welcoming environment". Bet anyone not conforming to gender standards will feel welcome now (/s)
