Jess Fishlock on the #NWSL: "I love going into games and looking at the opposition and going, so-and-so is great, so I need to be at my best. Otherwise, these players are going to kick my ass, because everyone is good."
She'll retire after 2026.
Plus a funny take on her first NWSL game. 👇
It's the 2025 NWSL Champs vs. the 2025 NWSL Shield Winners 👊

Again, who rejected the existence of controversy or greed in the NWSL?
My point was literally, and I quote “Has the NWSL learned nothing from its past?”
Why are you arguing strawmen?
Also, not for nothin’, but the NWSL hasn’t been around for *decades.* I assume you mean pro women’s soccer?
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.

Who is doing this, exactly? Pretending everything is good?
And who brought the MLS into this discussion (other than you)? My commentary was specific to NFL owners becoming an ever larger part of NWSL leadership.
Mona got out for a walk!
Got out on the Olentangy Trail for the first time in a while. Beautiful day here in Columbus!
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?
First the NWSL's social account gleefully spotlights Jameis Winston on the sidelines at a Gotham game this season, now the league welcomes the Haslams as owners of a new Columbus side.
Women's sports: We don't have to prop up or do business with problematic men just b/c they're rich or famous.

The Cleveland Browns org has done some surprisingly good things. The team's owners are also responsible for trading for Deshaun Watson and signing him to the richest contract in NFL history despite 22 different women accusing him of sexual assault.
And now they're NWSL owners.
And FWIW, from the story and related to another big #NWSL item:
Adding Columbus, a cold-weather market, "doesn't in any way change the analysis" of that decision, Berman said. She declined to comment further on the future of the league's calendar.

Officially official: Columbus is your 18th NWSL team.
All it cost was $205 million in expansion fees, and a neighborhood park that City Council has vowed to replace.

More on Columbus becoming #NWSL team No. 18. I spoke w/ commissioner Jessica Berman + team governor Whitney Haslam Johnson. Among the questions: Why was public funding needed? And why NWSL valued venues that were ready to balance out Denver/Boston temporary situations.

i do not want more than 20 teams. i don't care that the us is bigger than england or spain or whatever i want a balanced schedule. i don't know how you get a commissioner that believes that and also is supported by the owners but i'm still going to hope #nwsl
