Between this and Ring, we're long overdue a "terrible NWSL sponsors" feature.
Maybe pick a different company to make future USWNT bobbleheads.
Here are @sportico.bsky.social's most recent valuations for the WNBA and NWSL. #WNBA #NWSL
π WNBA -- $269 million average
π΅ NWSL -- $184 million average
Average revenue: $19M/club
WTF. Disagreements in contract negotiations need to be kept internal. Plum and Stewart are making the players position weaker by airing this. The momentum shifts to the league with this
I would argue the WNBA is willfully ignorant of its product and appeal. The NWSL believes in its product but is more misaligned in vision across the league leading to a lot of missteps and conflict on paths forward.
Probably best to sub out Shaw and Heaps now.
Now when they say they are the Epicenter of womenβs sports they have to put a disclaimer. * Womenβs coaches N/A.
The thorns leadership has had several tries to get a stable HC. Both of the times theyβve gone with men that are not all that experienced and lack winning. Letβs see how this pick goes.

I guess I have thoughts about the new kits but mostly: when will Portland Thorns Football Clubβs actual colors return from war?????
This one is great
A side by side comparison of two pictures. On the left, a soccer jersey featuring a green foliage background and white and pink cherry blossoms. On the right, two pieces of bread with mold on them.
Truly can't unsee this. #NWSL
Thorns have lost their identity a bit. These arenβt never their signature colors.
Gothams is better with distance. Up close itβs hard on the eyes and makes people a bit dizzy.
