Make a plan for 9/20 - it's time to show these anti-trans fascists that we won't stand for them harassing the Sports Bra and their patrons. Last time they threatened bear spray, so be prepared. Leaf blowers? Respirators? Umbrellas? #portland

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I helped found a little supporter’s group called The Rayistas. I’m very proud to have my tiny bit of women’s soccer supporterdom in this book. Thanks, Nina. SIS-SI!, (boom, boom), SIS-SI! #Cyberrays #WUSA www.blurb.com/b/12893169-t...

This right here at this time in this particular league. Firings happen, but fan and players have earned the right to a certain level of transparency from FOs and the league because we've all lived through what happens when there is none.

We want to express our thanks to the @ThornsFC.com staff and Providence Park security for swiftly handling the transphobic incident today. We won't tolerate hate in our house, and it's good to know that they are with us. It was handled quickly and professionally. #BAONPDX 1/2

This call feels different to me than other unfair calls (missed handballs, for example). There was an active effort to find the call. That need to audit every moment leading up to the goal, looking for a reason to cancel it. That level of paranoid scrutiny is not directed at teams equally.

My gosh. Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians. Then today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — a group that also organized Gaza screenings of the FIFA matches.

Time to be a buzzkill but the NWSL paying for a high-profile photographer/influencer to post photos of Ronaldo — who has faced multiple sexual assault allegations — as part of their summer of soccer to advertise a women’s soccer league……… Why.
Screenshot of expiredfilmclub thanking the NWSL for “getting (him) out to Miami” to shoot a World Cup game. “Getting to capture Cristiano on a 1950s film camera… what a dream,” his caption reads.
