I hope Boston Legacy Football Club and Big Little Fur Con are collaborating on a creative and epic mascot for the new team. #BLFC

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The profound level of disrespect NWSL broadcasters have shown for the players, teams, fans, and sport itself in 2025 has to change.

love to have NWSL's broadcast partner CBS running a whole CarMax ad during a player substitution and proceed to miss an entire goal by KC Current

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

So can we fire Butker already please?

If someone wants to accidentally switch the streams of the two KC football clubs playing tonight, I’d appreciate it! I’m not sure I want to watch the end of this one 😂

OMG I had no idea why this was all over my timeline. I just assumed there was a lot of overlap between the woso and the furry communities 😂

It’s never lost on me that NWSL pays for PRO2 level referees because they can’t/won’t pay for the PRO level and at some point, all the owners in the league are going to need to talk about that if they want to be serious

Trinity Rodman speaks out on the refereeing in yesterday’s Spirit-Wave game. (You probably know this, but poor officiating has been a theme across the league this NWSL season.)

“This is one of many examples…. Refs need to be better at managing these games. No words”

Hard to see Republican governors in the South salivating at invading blue states in the North and not think that these neo-Confederates have been jonesing for re-run of the Civil War ever since

What do we make of this beige color showing up in new @washingtonspirit.com merch and on the fan giveaway hats? Has anything official been stated?

Croix had a frustrating game overall. I wasn’t loudly opposed to that particular call, because it looked like a soft, but valid call. There was some real nonsense going on before that though.

Millie @millie789.bsky.social · 4d

I need to rewatch it, but the number of fouls called against Spirit because a Wave player grabbed a shirt/arm and then fell down, or where spirit got the ball first has two be in the double digits. Was every call against the spirit wrong? No. But it felt VERY unevenly adjudicated.

Should have advertised this as Spirit vs. Greg the lead official.

Hey Spirits! @heyspirits.bsky.social · 4d

It feels like the ref is feeling rayther villainy given his poor, albeit deserved, treatment from Audi.

San Diego Wave is falling like Audi field is an ice rink.
