The women’s sports boom is here and league leadership in both soccer and basketball aren’t ready for some reason
BREAKING: The NWSLPA opposes the #NWSL's proposed "High Impact Player" rule. PA exec. dir. Meghann Burke tells @espn.com that the NWSL is controlling and interfering with which players can access a certain pot of funds. The PA's proposal is to raise the cap by $1M, the proposed "HIP" amount. MORE:

So the NWSL:
-made a dogshit version of the supermax contract
-has the democratic women’s caucus on their ass
-still hasn’t addressed the problem that is they are cheap and won’t pay all the players their worth
-hasn’t thought through how this will impact all the players across the league
-made a dogshit version of the supermax contract
-has the democratic women’s caucus on their ass
-still hasn’t addressed the problem that is they are cheap and won’t pay all the players their worth
-hasn’t thought through how this will impact all the players across the league

The NWSL has now essentially created three classes of players:
*Salary cap exempt players on minimum salary
*Regularly paid players
*High Impact players
As Tobin said, “this creates a massive chasm.”
And it’s gross

WTAF.Determining what players are eligible to be a #nwsl "High Impact Player" by 'appearances in NWSL best xi' or USWNT min of any of this is absolute nonsense. Just let the clubs decide who to pay.. Completely ridiculous stuff holding this league back coming out of the NWSL league office these days

Great thread for folks who want to understand how and where to watch NWSL, and how you might optimize your viewing budget.
As we settle into winter, it's a good time for NWSL fans to review your media/streaming packages.
I put together a list of which services have games, how mny they have, when they play, and how much it costs. Note that Victory+ is a free, ad-supported streaming service new to NWSL.

I went with the league posted free agent list to fill gaps for teams that haven't posted roster updates. It would help if that league list were 100% updated. It isn't!

#AskSkoPurp How common is it to backload contracts in other sports— especially men’s sports? @themaneland.bsky.social Why do you think the #NWSL feels it is, “against the spirit of the rules?”

Three of Haley McCutcheon’s 8 career NWSL goals (regular season + playoffs) have been scored in the postseason, including the winner in the quarterfinal on Friday.
The 37.5% ratio of her goals scored in the postseason is the highest of any player that has scored at least three goals in NWSL history

Listen, before the quarters I would’ve said Vlatko deserved to win coach of the year. It’s on the league for the timing of this vote. Looks to me like he doesn’t think he is coach of the year. I do think this new role fits his strengths better, even if I wasn’t expecting the move so soon. #NWSL
