Y’all means all isn’t just a slogan for us. It means we are a welcoming, inclusive community to everyone.  We stand with the @rosecityriveters.org, the transgender and LGBTQ+ community — hate has no place in women’s soccer, or anywhere.  If you come for one, you can expect us all.

Anti-trans bigots are coming to NWSL games looking to provoke violence or other incidents that could go viral. This is the back-up plan: harass and endanger anyone who stands up to them. NWSL is going to have to contend with this. Kicking the can down the road will put too many fans at risk.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

everyone should be asking Zoe Raiter zraiter@thorns.com and Elise di Sabella edisabella@thorns.com exactly why Rory (who was banned) was allowed into the stadium with other known agitators who were CLEARLY breaking the code of conduct without security intervention.

Some hateful folks in the North End have their messaging blocked by flags and lead to a “Trans Lives Matter” chant

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

rangemedia.coMeasure to require "biological sex" verification for all WA girls’ sports athletes on November ballotIf passed, the hedgefund-millionaire-backed ballot measure would enact one of the nation’s strictest examination requirements for girls’ athletics.

obviously many more important takeaways from the French approach to protest, but much respect to the absolute varsity level Whimsy of throwing a whole ass piano at the cops

This is the old David Letterman bit, "Will It Float?"

A match in Spain's fourth division was suspended due to heavy rain, and the referee decided to test whether the ball would still bounce on the flooded pitch of SCR Peńa Deportiva. CONCACAF would still play though

I think the Current did their homework on Utah corner routines.

NWSL@nwslsoccer.com

That’s not how the Utah Royals drew that corner up...

Meta is a tool of fascism. (It has been for a long time, but no time like the present to figure it out).

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.
