1 - they want to win

Wikipedia content was already being scraped by AI for free. While I detest almost all uses for AI, I also understand that as a nonprofit Wikipedia didn't really have a long term option. I would venture to guess that most people who use Wikipedia do not donate to its existence. Monetize or die?

the difference is it's closer for them. If Mexico or Canada had better leagues maybe NWSL players would go there and we wouldn't have so much angst.

We have this conversation every time a player leaves NWSL for a different experience yet we're still here and thriving. I think it's natural for a player to want to experience Europe, WSL specifically. It's really no different than a WSL player going to play in Spain or another European country,

Hey! It's Christmastime, be nice.

Outstanding, Summit FC. Y'all are really treating us. Merry Christmas to you, too 🎄

Sorry for your situation. I know you were looking forward to all the events 😭

Cover those ears!
