It can't fall on the PA alone because if a player is a bigot, they're still a player. Unless a rule is violated, a union represents all its members, even the shitty ones. The league has to lead on this policy. They should consult the PA, for sure. But put on your big person pants and do your job.

The Rose City Riveters continue to stand with our trans siblings in and out of the stadium.
We call upon the NWSL and Jessica Berman to condemn the statements made by Elizabeth Eddy and take steps to protect their players from hateful rhetoric like this. #BAONPDX

🏳️⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.
In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.
Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.
No exceptions. ❤️🖤

Thinking about this piece today as we prepare to hit triple digits in Portland on a game day. 7 pm kick off, but the turf will still be dangerously hot. Protect the players! Get rid of turf if you insist on playing outside in August!
But also maybe don’t play outside in August…?

I'm incredibly tired of being lectured about how high earning Portlanders are leaving. They aren't, but we can debate that later.
More importantly, the truth is our top earners are a tiny sliver of this city. Programs like Preschool for All only ask 7% of us to pay more — and they can afford it.

Hey Portland, there’s a lot of fear in our immigrant communities right now and one way you can help is attending a MigraWatch/ICE Watch Training. You’ll learn how to safely identify and verify potential ICE activity, and how to contribute to PIRC’s rapid response network.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

My goodness, beautiful goal by Moultrie and assist from Fleming! I would’ve been relieved to be down by only 1 at the half, so 1-1 is a true gift.

FWIW I think Sydney is (as usual) correct that this is the thing that would make the IOC do something (not violating the fairness and inclusion framework). If I were a sports editor (AHEM I know some of you follow me) I'd commission a piece from her on this. She's the perfect person to write this.
About 99% sure this violates the Olympic charter when it comes to government interference!!!! Also I’m going to be sick.

Yes! A policy protecting trans athletes would make the league SAFER! We don’t see women getting injured because men try to infiltrate the league, but we sure do see women getting harassed and threatened because they don’t meet narrow, white standards of femininity!
You know exactly which players they're coming after first, and they are stars of your league. The supporters (most) I trust to stand in the gap. The PA will be on it imo. The league...
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.

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.”
On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice.
Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

The face being used in the article is Alyssa Thompson, a "DEI" hire, but sure, tell me diversity doesn't matter as a lens through which you view investment.
Berman continues to stumble.
If your message is “NWSL is a smart business investment” you can say so w/o a dig at DEI.
A significant part of the #NWSL success story is a wildly loyal & growing fan base where all people feel represented. The NWSL fan engagement is manna for advertisers/live tv.
