one reason i adore women's sports is because large portions of every fanbase aren't fooled by bullshit. most fans in men's sports accept pro-owner/anti-labor arguments, but nwsl and wnba fans right now are both saying 'nope we see what you're trying to do, just pay players what they're worth k thx.'

Increasing expansion fees and artificially holding down player compensation through *scarcity* is not a league, it’s a pyramid scheme.

The labor has to strike now. I get it's a shitty option, but the MNBA is not negotiating in good faith. It's the leverage you have.

And THIS is why I said at least every captain needed to speak and be unified. Guess who is gonna get the hate from the Fox News crowd now? Sarah Gorden, that's who. The only Black captain. Okay, going back to work now.
Fox News has picked up Elizabeth Eddy’s column, and the response from the Angel City players.
I’m hearing Eddy will appear on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning.

Ali Riley is genuinely one of the best seeds in the women's game. She once gave us an unscheduled interview to support us. Just because. A great player, an even better person. I suspect she'll find her next place in WOSO. Would she like to be a commissioner with that Stanford brain? Just asking.

Trans athlete bans always get used to police cis women's bodies. The athletes affected by this are disproportionately Black. There's a direct through line from this stuff to racism.
Neither NWSL nor USSF have a trans athlete policy. The one NWSL adopted previously was abandoned years ago. Meanwhile, a lobby group seeking to ban trans athletes has laid out their plan for American soccer.

Task and Purpose is doing a great job covering the military’s presence in LA. I recommend following them to stay-up-date and informed about it.
150 California National Guard troops were also released from the federal mission on July 1, same day the 3/7 Marines arrived to replace 2/7. Several outlets were on that, but @taskandpurpose.com broke the news on the 3/7 deployment and number of Marines. Follow us. taskandpurpose.com/news/new-mar...
