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.

🚨 New Working People @therealnews.com, new "sacrifice zone" investigation: I speak w/ residents of Granbury, TX, who all started suffering ill health effects after a 300-megawatt bitcoin mine moved in next door. This is "environmental euthanasia," one resident said.

A bitcoin mine in Texas is “killing us slowly,” local residents say by Maximillian Alvarez April 23, 2025 After a 300-megawatt bitcoin mining operation came to Granbury, TX, residents started suffering from hypertension, heart palpitations, tinnitus, migraines, and more—and they say their concerns are going ignored by the company and government officials. It’s “environmental euthanasia,” one resident tells TRNN

Today I had a very intense meltdown at the Wave game. This is not the first time I have brought up accessibility and ableism to the Wave. Their suggestion was to go to a room labeled “nursing”. It is unacceptable. #nwsl #SanDiego

Hello Kaila and Maya, I wanted to write to you and let you know my experience before kick off today. I saw the black boxes come out on the pitch and quickly ushered myself and my service animal to the sensory area near my seats. It was locked again. I begged security personnel to help me but already was starting to have a melt down. If you are not familiar with a melt down, it meant I was crying hysterically, self harming, having a panic attack, and I lose access to spoken speech. I was alone and needed help. Instead, another family was let into the sensory room and I was told to go around to the other side of the stadium. My spouse luckily found me because they were concerned I hadn’t sent a message that I was okay. I was barely able to walk and had to go sit on the floor of the large women’s restroom. This is unacceptable. It is ableist. There were so many barriers to my safety and ultimately my health and safety was at risk because there are not safety measures in place for sensory sensitive people and autistic people like me. At least 2.2% of adults are autistic, which means if there are 10,000 people in attendance at a game there is a likelihood that at least 200 adults (not even factoring in children) are autistic. How do a handful of sensory rooms address this issue when there could be many who need access? I would like this to be escalated further because it is making me question if the Wave care at all about some fan experiences.

This is a player other players will run through a wall for, and she's also exceptional at keeping the ball out of the back of the net. At the very least, she should get both matches next window. For ME, she's GK 1, but I'm not Emma.

Welp, here it is. World Athletics is going back to mandatory sex testing for all women. This is something that was done for years, but abandoned in the 1990's because it was invasive, discriminatory, and also useless. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...
World Athletics to introduce mandatory sex testing for female competitions
Sebastian Coe, president of World Athletics, says the governing body feels the mandatory tests for athletes are "a really important way of providing confidence".

women's sports leagues can't 'republicans buy shoes too' their way through the current landscape. the people you fail to protect will be seen as isolated, leading to others being emboldened to attack them. this is a direct result of the league being silent when jk rowling targeted banda months ago.

A statement from the NWSL:
The National Women’s Soccer League is aware of an incident involving hateful language directed at Barbra Banda during this weekend’s match between Gotham FC and Orlando Pride. We are united in our message: this behavior is unacceptable and has no place in our league or in our stadiums. Gotham FC and the NWSL are working together to further investigate the incident and take additional action where appropriate under the league’s Fan Code of Conduct. We are committed to ensuring that our venues are safe and respectful environments for all — especially for the athletes who represent the very best of our sport. Barbra Banda is both an exceptional player and person, and the NWSL is immensely proud to support her as a member of our league. As a league, we remain committed to holding individuals accountable for conduct that violates our standards and values, and to reinforcing the inclusive spirit of the NWSL community.

The abuse was anti-trans and anti-Black. I do appreciate the statement, but I'll wait for actions. I love the league, and this is the time to be better and lead, not cower and react. Not easy, but doable.

As we close out 2024, can’t help but reflect on our incredible athletes and what they accomplished. They believed. They set goals and pursued them with wild enthusiasm and a commitment to the details. We still have this frame hanging, but I can’t wait to see what it holds next. #VamosPride
