Lula's victory in Brazil means a lot to a ton of people in the country, including transgender people. So when Lula won, it was a major moment of celebration when he turned to kiss a popular transgender lawmaker on the cheek. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Jordyn Bugg was the most common name cited by NWSL GMs as the "next great NWSL player" in the latest ESPN survey shared by @jeffkassouf.bsky.social. She recently signed an extension with Seattle Reign through 2030. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Hemp.

We are, once again, the absolute worst. This poor, tortured soul.

So happy to see this face after being on a four-day work trip. 🥰

These poor kids. These poor families. My heart breaks every time and I wonder how many pieces of it I can hold onto. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

exceptional ref cam in mexico/jamaica, from the long range assist to the exploding goal

Depending on which stats model you prefer the Reign are either long shots or have roughly even odds of making the playoffs, but they need to take care of business over their final three games. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/reig...

Leny loves that donut bed and they are real good beggars #dogs #dogsofbluesky

My hot take is that it's really not that hard to avoid grabbing someone's hair and pulling it in a soccer match.

Example of Spain press at goal kicks and open play. Typical approach I've seen in Spanish football before. Amoros even brought it to Gotham. Two midfielders up to support striker and mark deepest midfield opponent. Holding mid stays back, wingers narrow in. USA must limit passing back to Dickey

can't drop off my ballot in the mail due to USPS fuckery can't drop off my ballot in a ballot box because national guard are blocking access can't tell them to leave because we don't have statehood great fucking country we're in

This is Leny pretty much every day around 5 pm when I'm working from home. He respects work/life balance!!

We’ve now brought this story in front of the paywall. While subscriptions are our lifeblood, we know that not everyone has the budget for it, and now more than ever it’s important to get these stories out into the world while other outlets offer crumbs to women’s sports.

Just taking light rail to the Sounders game using the new Pinehurst station, NBD.

It will probably surprise nobody that Jordyn Bugg confirmed in today's Seattle Reign press conference that she started her club soccer career as a No. 9.

#OTD 2022 – OL Reign take advantage of Portland draw to win NWSL Shield on regular season's final day, 3-0 over Orlando at Lumen Field. 10,746 see goals from Megan Rapinoe, Jordyn Huitema and Bethany Balcer in first 31 minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPi-...

Seattle Reign have locked down one of the league's most promising young defenders, signing Jordyn Bugg through the 2030 season. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/reig...

Jordyn Bugg is staying in Seattle until 2030! Huge news for Seattle Reign. The sky is the limit for the 20-year-old defender. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/10/reig...

Alysha Clark has always been a real one. Such a beloved Seattle Storm legend, and she's showing she still has it tonight on both the offensive and defensive ends!

Five years ago in the middle of a reckoning over abuse and misconduct, the players of the NWSL were debating if they should save the league or burn it down. They picked both. On the last five years, free to read at @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

I have really been enjoying @theolloydhughes.bsky.social's NWSL content in The Cutback! Check it out if you haven't yet. www.thecutback.com/p/nwsl-did-t...

"Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her." www.thecut.com/article/what...

As Seattle Reign prepares to honor Jess Fishlock this week, I spoke with GM Lesle Gallimore about how the club will replace an irreplaceable legend like her. She talks about that and more roster-building details in this piece for @rideofvalkyries.com: www.sounderatheart.com/2026/09/lesl...

As the 2026 season winds down and the summer transfer window closed with only one move, @susierantz.bsky.social caught up with Reign GM Lesle Gallimore to discuss the team’s roster building strategy and long-term vision www.sounderatheart.com/2026/09/lesl...

Divine pass from Mina Tanaka.

Fishlock becomes OLDEST player to record a brace at age 39, besting Sinclair's record (age 38 when she had her last Thorns brace) And BOTH goals came from outside the box!

A record-setting night for Jess Fishlock lifted the Reign back into a playoff spot, at least temporarily www.sounderatheart.com/2026/09/seat...

Your new all-time Reign leading goal scorer — Jess Fishlock 👑 With her goals tonight, Jess now has 52 regular season goals with the Reign, surpassing Megan Rapinoe’s previous record of 51 goals. Congrats, Jess! 👏

"There's an infatuation with our team, and there's an infatuation with some of our players, and there's a lot of negativity that surrounds anything that's different from what the fandom wants to see." A very good read from @katiebarnes.bsky.social: www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...
