@nwslsoccer.com Raise the cap!

genuinely disgusting the expansion fees are that high and owners are quibbling over a $1m player salary cap raise

I know, I hate it. 1-10 or at least 1-5 should be the same and then descend in groups like that.

Not a single question about why this grown man is talking to a child about experimenting or if he’d done anything to her?! What the actual fuck.

That’s the part that gets me. They might get traded and have to move across the country in three days! They shouldn’t have to deal with finding housing on top of that.

Chiney and Nneka on the draft! Love them, need Chiney to take over for Holly Rowe on those interviews. #WNBA

That helps. But I still don’t understand last night’s statement or why GSV thought this was a good deal at all.

I’m happy for Paige and Azzi to play together, so excited for Madina in Atlanta, confused about the trade, and sick about Raven. It was a lot.

Fucking finally! Can’t believe Rori fell that far. Weird night. #WNBA

So happy for Okot, I think that’s a great fit for her!

Immediately freeze half? Otherwise go for it. 😆 Fresh bread is so good!

I thought this would be a battle, not sure what’s going on with Palmeiras tonight. #TealRisingCup #NWSL

I hope so. I want that front office to hate their lives everyday instead of making players miserable.

Any updates on Kahleah Copper?

I hate it. Good luck to her though, I hope it’s worth it.

I need to know what Rhyne got!

I really want to see Evil Dom. 😆

Same! It makes no sense to me.

I hope she makes them regret it. 😆 #WNBA

I'm a WNBA player. Don't use athletes like me to exclude trans women. IOC's policy invites unequal scrutiny. We cannot choose our genes or chromosomes, but we can choose whether we protect the dignity of every athlete.

Pros like Brianna Turner have made it abundantly clear what women athletes need — attacking and excluding trans and intersex athletes isn't on the list.

Exactly! People saying it’s for the money but I don’t see how they can be offering enough more than anyone else to deal with being miserable every day.

It is wild to me. I didn’t think anyone would go there by choice. I still don’t understand why anyone would.

I was worried when it started with that absolutely bullshit Ciara win, but at least it ended as it should. It doesn’t make up for not making the finale, but at least Juicy gets something! That reveal was incredible and watching her dance is always so entertaining, well deserved. #DragRace

🤮

Sure, but why is the presumption that this will hurt her? If she can play 40 minutes for KC she can play 40 minutes for Malawi and get some time with her national team. I just hope they’re considering what she wants in all this.

New Taskmaster, yay! Love this cast already. Joanna is my (way too early) winner. Joel should have smashed the egg the moment Greg said no points. 😆

I can’t understand why she wants this, or why anyone would go there willingly.

Same, I’m actually terrible with lefty scissors. And I’ve only seen a left-handed can opener once but it made no sense to me. 😆 I just do those things right-handed.
