the thing is… there’s a really uncharitable way to read this statement despite I’m sure the intent being the opposite.

INBOX: @nwslplayers.bsky.social statement "condemning attacks on players."

I also think officially engaging bad faith actors over eligibility in a statement like this means the “protect women’s sports” crowd have successfully controlled the conversation. Everyone’s dancing around the underlying problem, except for Sarah Gorden.

I’ve also been stuck on the fact that Sarah Gorden apologized for another player’s comments, and is the only one to do so — despite it not being her fault in the slightest. I still hope we see public support of her from the league itself, as she is also targeted.
