NWSL Notes

This makes no sense for Bay. Why would they do this?

This be known as the Gotham rule 😂.

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

🟠 WNBA -- $269 million average
🔵 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 women’s sports they have to put a disclaimer. * Women’s coaches N/A.

The thorns leadership has had several tries to get a stable HC. Both of the times they’ve gone with men that are not all that experienced and lack winning. Let’s see how this pick goes.

@ the nwsl.

The nwsl has a type.

Don’t let the Jimmy and Dee Haslam anywhere near the NWSL.

If you google the ownership group it will tell you what you need to know.

New story from the Epstein files: his foundation gave $60K to a MD girls soccer powerhouse between 2004 and 2006.

This happened around the time prosecutors say he abused underage girls, and during an investigation into those crimes in Florida.

I guess I have thoughts about the new kits but mostly: when will Portland Thorns Football Club’s 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 aren’t never their signature colors.

Gothams is better with distance. Up close it’s hard on the eyes and makes people a bit dizzy.
