I was at the announcement today for Columbus' addition to the NWSL.
Learn about the announcement, the local battle between politicians and a key absence in the crowd today at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman
This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.
It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.
Has the NWSL learned nothing from its past?
In the rush to expand and make money, they're putting women in the care of people who have proven they won't protect or consider the safety, peace or dignity of the women who work for them?
Fuck, man. What are we doing?
it’s very simple and unfortunately it means we have a really hard fight ahead of us
The same people telling you women's sports is special & the values at its core must be protected are simultaneously partnering with as many owners from the most corrupt, controversy-ridden league we've got.
You wanna know how women's sports loses its progressive, inclusive magic? Follow the money.
I genuinely want to know where all of these expansion fee money is going because ti does not seem like it's going to the teams nor is it going to player salaries (or other things like improved cameras/production equipment)
In order to make women’s sports feel validated, the nwsl decided to create a model where the only incentive is ownership for the sale of asset and wealth growth. It has 0% to do with the growing of the sport or giving fans a stable league to follow
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

She changed the club. She defined an era.
One last season to watch her write the final chapter. 👑

Fishlock scoring at Portland in only the second weekend of the NWSL’s existence back in 2013, then slapping the crest and gesturing in defiance to 16,000 hostile fans, set the tone both for the Cascadia rivalry and for the league as a whole.
We knew it would be coming soon, but that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to the Tiny Dragon. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/04/jess...
After 14 seasons with Seattle Reign, 39-year-old midfielder Fishlock announces the 2026 season will be her last. A player who has been with the club since the NWSL launched in 2013. A player who has raised the bar for Seattle, the league, and what it means to be a club legend 💙🚨

Fishlock, the last remaining club original from the 2013 squad, has helped define Reign FC’s identity for more than a decade.
An original. A legend. A legacy that will last forever.

This is truly an insane thing for a public health person to say.
Outright eugenics.
RFKJR needs to GO ASAP.
He's mad that Trump isn't *enough* of a Nazi, you monumentally useless buffoons
Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.
Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.
Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.
You dumb chucklefuck.
Julio is ridiculous.
look, I'm just A Girl, but to me it's a bit of a mustache-twirling villain move to take away the public park with specially-designed areas for disabled members of the community, and give it to a billionaire-backed project to bring an NWSL team.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Keith is 100% right. Commercial property ownership is almost always the problem holding back neighborhoods and growth.
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
Where I diverge from the star of The Morning Show (I'm sorry...a star of The Morning Show, a television program with more stars than the Big Dipper) is the assertion that because women's jobs are reportedly three times as likely to be automated, women have the obligation to increase their AI use. This doesn't track to me. If someone told me I was at a three times higher risk than the general population to be eaten by a shark, I would not take that as an imperative to start volunteering to clean the gums of great whites with gingivitis.
In this week's That's Marvelous newsletter I wrote about springtime and aligning actions with values and disagreeing with Reese Witherspoon about AI. Read the whole thing: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/180-reese-wi...
I assume the Seattle Times and others who were wringing their hands about how doomed we were when Washington refused to give similar handouts will be lining up to offer public apologies any day now
