There's a photo in there that says it's of Sam Coffey. It is not of Sam Coffey. Financial Times, do better.

For the WNBPA and the NWSLPA, solidarity is an ethos as well as a strategy. I spoke with leaders from both unions to learn more about the organizations' strong relationship:

The US’s biggest pro women’s sports unions have found strength together

For NWSL and WNBA players’ unions, collective actions have been key to their successes in wholly different sports

Now see, this is what we're talking about, but we get told we're making it up.

I know Frieda is the extra sister. I know it. I'm still gonna pray, but I'm glad it's not as serious. We are not prepared.

I haven't heard of there being one. Feel like maybe we're more likely to get one next window with the season being over.

We aren't prepared for this as a society.

I appreciate how thoughtful we are about our kit sponsors and that we go local in the end.

Yeah, I do think the product matters, but it literally not being safe for a decent amount of fanbase is a big consideration as well. I know several sths that stopped going to games. They cannot risk doing much that brings them joy in their home. It's infuriating.

Tbf, he did say that in another answer

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her @southernsylvs.bsky.social · 1d

Tiernan? She's not a 9 to me. They need someone who has played that role for a while. Also, someone who can get goals with their head imo. With everything that's happened...I don't think they're that far off it.

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her @southernsylvs.bsky.social · 1d

Love SJJ. She's gotta become a better finisher, and she's gotta learn some hold-up play. There's something there, but they really, really need an elite 9 up top with her and Jun.

KC comes and steals the points on the road. It's honestly not deeper than KC has the deepest team in the league and LA is the opposite. One of the better game plans against KC, but it doesn't seem to matter.

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her @southernsylvs.bsky.social · 1d

Final here in LA. 1-0 to the visitors. On the night, LA probably will be upset to not get a point, but there is no deserve in football. They aren't eliminated yet, but even winning out puts them at 33, and it feels like 34 minimum is gonna get you in.

Cooper definitely has the CONCACAF in her, lol

Maiara just misses high. That was probably it.

Late free kick opportunity for ACFC. Let's see who takes it.

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her @southernsylvs.bsky.social · 1d

KC up a goal is just not gonna get scored on often. NCC managed to do it once this season, but that's about it.

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her @southernsylvs.bsky.social · 1d

We have 5 minutes of stoppage time. I don't know if LA is getting another good chance. Needed to put the ones away that they had.
