Did you not actually read their letter? They don’t want him replaced. The Federation that escalated the whole situation and put those words in their mouths.

The problem is that at every step the coaching staff and federation are treating them like children and not professionals. They tried to fix it in private, but then the RFEF overreacted.

The wild thing about Holly's hiring is that everyone in the public basically knew there was something up with him.

By my count at least 3 owners need to be out of the league by the end of the month, and that's before we get the joint NWSL / NWSLPA investigation that might be even more thorough.

Also remember it feeling real gross about him marrying Christie Pearce after getting fired.

The sheer number of times coaches end up marrying their athletes, and in Rory Dames case she was (TW) 14 when he first started coaching her, is just outright disgusting. I hope the NWSL is better after going through all this, but also the youth leagues are also investigated and taken seriously. Richie Burke was accused of emotionally abusing youth players when he got the Spirit gig, and huh, turns out he kept doing it when coaching pros.

Protect the athletes and burn the rest down.

Bixby had originally backed up Sinclair (and got very aggro) but seems to have chilled out and apologized.

All in all, including the coaching situation… whomever is the new owner is going to have to unpack a lot.



Hadn’t seen Arnim looking to sell. Good.

It really seems like they dropped it at 2:05 PM ET, right at the same time as the first goal.

The commissioner seemed to reject this, but ... reporters like Meg Linehan had it early under embargo. So...

Speaking of, their reporting seems to be open to all: https://theathletic.com/4002142/2022/12/14/nwsl-pa-joint-investigation/

Canadian players say that they haven't been paid for 2022. I imagine we'll see some sort of in-game action/protest, especially given that the first game is against the US who know all too well about this brand of bullshit.

Going to those games in 2015 was awesome. I’m sure she would have rather been in Canada, but she made everyone pay attention and make sure they never leave her out of the US squad again.

Between the Spanish authorities investigating for sexual assault and FIFA already promising an investigation... one hopes a contemptuous demonstration like this backfires on everyone there, not just Rubiales. Maybe it's naive of me to hope someone does something, but I feel like these assholes are forcing their hand by essentially daring them to do something about it.

Hector Bellerin & Borja Iglesias (both at Real Betis) called it out, might see more men's players in solidarity with the women too.

Every single day I'm even less inclined to watch men's football.

I also think about this a lot (Currently watching a lot more Spirit over DC United) but the drama of abusive leaders is ever present until someone strong willed like Kang comes along and just buys the team from the rear end in a top hat owners. Taking forever for similar actions to play out in Chicago & Portland, and notice how MLS/Garber have let MP keep the Timbers.

If it’s exhausting to me as a fan, I can’t even imagine what its like for the players and those few women in those rooms where misogyny is applauded
