This is only slightly less offensive, and still way too skewed to the USWNT. If I'm Emma, I'm calling each owner personally to cuss them out. Why are you making your broke behavior MY problem?
Per an NWSL spokesperson:
The criteria for top 11 in USWNT minutes is not cumulative and can be accomplished in either of the previous two years.

I don’t know how to say this except to say it:
I’m a Guardian top 100 voter and have been invited in the past to vote in ESPN FC’s ranking.
There’s no reason why that, or certainly any “most marketable” ranking that’s even more subjective, should determine if a #NWSL player gets a big salary.

real talk, given recent player movements, the nwsl should be ecstatic that rodman wants to stay. their attempted fumbling of this is reminiscent of an era i thought we’d left behind.

Trinity Rodman has the blend of talent and charisma that makes a genuine star. It sounds obvious, but having her stateside benefits the entire U.S. soccer landscape way more than it does one single team.
Who's the first person you see in Adidas's opening ad for the 2026 *men's* World Cup? Rodman.

I've said this multiple times, but it's just so obvious that it behooves the NWSL, each NWSL club, the decision-makers in the league office, to keep Rodman (who by all accounts is leaving money on the table!) in the NWSL.
The existing arguments to the contrary simply do not hold water.

The absences were a problem, but that loss is ultimately on Vlatko Andonovski. Insanely passive tactical setup that did not give the players they *did* have the ability to control the match from the first whistle.

this is why i hate when the league acts like it has to #girlboss to gain credibility. fam, look at what we just witnessed. there's nothing like this league, and that's all because of the players. it is my dream that one day they have leadership that understands this, and acts like it.

i am so very sorry but marta can never retire, 95th minute in a playoff quarterfinal clinging to a 1 goal lead and she uses every ounce of energy she had left to sprint damn near the whole pitch and win a late penalty, then gives the spot kick to luana. i'm over here just being a puddle of emotions.

ok but i’m reasonable and can also call her a goofy ass racist transphobe who had an unremarkable career so chose to be remembered as a bigot
"Reasonable people can disagree on this topic, but there’s no need to go to bullying or name calling because it doesn’t set a good example for anyone," Elizabeth Eddy says on Fox News this morning, after a week of inciting targeted transphobic and racist attacks on fellow NWSL players.
