Imagine they let Ohio in for $250 million and then they’re like “also we play in the winter now” lmfao

That’s some way to run a football club.

"But the money's still good right?" - NWSL

United by the game we love 🇺🇸🇨🇦🫶

As with any other soccer leagues that flip their calendars, there are positives and negatives to the NWSL potentially doing so.

Someone can let us know if in the boardroom, it was ever proposed that the league's been lucky no one else has collapsed of heat exhaustion during a game in nine years.

You see that the account for the stadium NM play at jumped into the comments? This all is wild.

Anti-Trans Attack Ads Fail Again As Wisconsin Liberal Wins Supreme Court By Historic 20-Point Margin Chris Taylor's win comes despite Maria Lazar's ads focused on transgender sports participation.

1. Anti-trans attack ads have failed again in Wisconsin, as Chris Taylor's win brings progressives to a 5-2 majority in the state.

It is the latest in a slew of races that featured anti-trans political campaigning against a Democrat that failed.

White House wants FIFA to change transgender policy, with Women’s World Cup guarantees on the line President Trump has praised the rule change around transgender athletes at the Olympics and wants 'the entire sports world' to follow suit

Trump admin appears to be holding hostage the 2031 women's World Cup bid, refusing to offer guarantees (for visas, tax exemptions, safety, security) unless FIFA bans transgender women from soccer. FIFA is so disgusting it'll probably comply By @adamcrafton.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/717...

If you haven't taken a genetic test, you don't know what your chromosomes are, either. They might be XX or XY. They might be XO, XXY, or a mix of XX/XY.

Science is more complex than many people feel comfortable believing.

Washington Spirit player Lucia Di Guglielmo gives a thumbs up as two trainers walk her off the field and one holds a large ice pack and bandage on her head

How it feels to be working today while being aware of the news:

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Seems like a very appropriate and wholesome thing for the VP to be doing today. Campaigning for a dictator while the President threatens war crimes.

Love this. 🏳️‍⚧️

SEGM is an advocacy group with ~100 members that opposes trans healthcare. Their researcher publishes a study with zero outcome measures. X runs it as proof gender-affirming care "doesn't work."

That's not science. That's a press release with a DOI. #transgender

PDX SAYS

TRANS PEOPLE BELONG

I’m so glad Sarah posted this here. I don’t have Instagram but if you do, watch the reel. What Uncle Fish says here should be heard by everyone.

If you don’t have Instagram, listen to today’s episode of Good Game. Actually, do that anyway.

I wonder how they can celebrate our trans siblings without having a written policy protecting their rights to play in this league 🤔🤔🤔

I’m Supposed to be Visible Today — But Why? Every year I wonder if visibility and joy are the same thing. And every year I am more and more convinced that the answer is no.

It’s Trans Day of Visibility, and this year it feels absolutely absurd to ask trans people to be more visible when we’re being put on lists by people who want us dead. @reveleth.com’s latest is a must-read fo anyone who feels kind of weird about TDOV. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

This is an excellent read! Highly recommend it.

We have work to do to make it safe for our trans family to be visible. We have to fight for our siblings and make it so they don't have to choose between celebrating their accomplishments and protecting their family.

Been dropping these on IG at @ariellec there but..

By request, more football media lore… this one again from the Cuba-US men’s national team friendly 10 years ago, because I keep remembering random, bizarre details!

Like how I was the ONLY one in the “mixed zone.” had a nice chat with Wondo 😅👍

The Effects of California's $20 Fast Food Minimum Wage on Prices Jeffrey Clemens, Olivia Edwards, Jonathan Meer & Joshua D. Nguyen WORKING PAPER 34990 DOI 10.3386/w34990 ISSUE DATE March 2026 We analyze the effect of California's $20 fast food minimum wage (Assembly Bill 1228), enacted in September 2023 and implemented in April 2024, on consumer prices using the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Indices for food away from home across 21 metropolitan statistical areas. Food away from home prices in California's four in-sample MSAs increased by 3.3 to 3.6 percent relative to 17 control MSAs through December 2024. Our estimates are stable across a number of specifications. Placebo tests on price indices for goods and services that were not affected by the policy, including food at home, show no differential increases in California's MSAs. The price increases we estimate likely arise in part from spillovers to the full-service sector, as well as changes in the production functions and product quality choices of limited service restaurants.

CA’s $20 fast food minimum wage raised fast food prices by only 3%. The reason minimum wage increases keep not reducing employment and barely increasing prices is monopsony power.
