This is heart wrenching, but it’s so so courageous of Katie’s parents and friends to do this interview to raise awareness and give insight that could potentially help others. Still really shaken by this and thinking of everyone who knew and loved Katie ❤️
The parents of Stanford University soccer star Katie Meyer are speaking out about her death by suicide with the hopes of helping other families.

Lindsay Horan and Danielle van de Donk started fighting and caused a scene and then Lindsay immediately scored a goal and Danielle is ending the game with a swim cap on her head. Winner: HORAN!!!!!!
Why am I watching the Womens Champions League Final on YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!
This game is already so good. It deserves to be played on TV everywhere in the world
If we needed all players to like, respect, and/or agree with everyone on their team, we’d never play a game. Players are ruthless…at least the good ones.
I stay laughing at all the people who questioned the fitness of the USWNT going into their first game after an 8 month hiatus... did you guys actually believe they could be unfit???? The USWNT could take 8 years off and still probably be the most fit team in the world
In what world would
@espn
nominate Cappy for best NWSL player and then tell us that category is not invited to the ESPYS???????? The constant disrespect for womens sports SMH
I understand that there will be comments on players and their injuries, but if you are going to project a player to miss time, especially a major life changing tournament like the World Cup, I personally would consider doing it in a way that won’t show up in that players mentions
Good luck to everyone in the draft tonight! Remember if you don’t get drafted it’s not the end of the world, you too could trial 5 times, get cut 3 times, and then eventually find yourself on an NWSL roster!!
I’ve been having a very human reaction to watching Gotham make it to the NWSL championship this year… lots of bits of jealousy/happiness/sadness/fomo/self pity. But truly wishing all the best to my besties in the game tonight. It’s all we’ve ever wanted for the club 💙💙
I know that Ashley Lawrence is still standing and running around, but as far as I’m concerned she’s leaving this game with 2 broken ankles, 3 broken ribs, 1 broken tibia, and possibly a punctured lung
Thanks for all the kind words about my first nwsl start fam. Losing sucks, but I love getting to play for this club with these players and I know we’ll figure it out, so stick with us. Love yas
Idk if I believed there would EVER be a time where 7+ national teamers would voluntarily (or even forcefully LOL) sign with sky blue / Gotham but it’s so fuuuuuun to see it finally become a destination spot considering how litty the NYC area is
This tweet. Everything that was in that report most NWSL players have known about for years. Even some of the most powerful names in our sport couldn’t get people to listen. And now that it’s finally public and people are paying attention we all just have to relive it.
Think about how much power it took to get the word out.
Press, a national team regular, but maybe not a starter at the time, was not powerful enough.
It took Alex Morgan levels of player power to get the word out.
That is a seriously, horrifyingly, disgustingly broken system.
Listen I love the NWSL schedule release content I really do but it would honestly be easier to follow if you guys just posted a PDF of your schedules with it in chronological order labeled HOME or AWAY
Swimming at the gym is such a wild ride because to your right you may have an elderly man doing physical therapy and to your left you have an ex college swimmer doing Olympic level turns and you’re just in the middle of them trying not to drown
Lots of rumors about whether the shield was at RBA or not, but the reality is that this team doesn’t need any external motivation to fight for points. We’re one good ass soccer team and despite this seasons results I’ve never doubted this groups desire to be successful
Now official: Carlos Cordeiro, who resigned as US Soccer president in 2020 after taking responsibility for a disgraceful legal strategy citing "science" to belittle the USWNT based on their gender, is running for USSF president again:

I don’t have time to explain how my brain got here, but I decided to only watch the ref for the first 5 mins of the 2nd half of the USWNT game & GUYS. Holy hell. Do we know if refs have more max sprints than players?!?! Do they wear a GPS??!! Might stop yelling at them now idk

even listening? Why do we, the women, constantly have to ask them to do better? Kelsey nails it here and this is only one of the examples of the network failing to cover women’s sports properly... or at all. Do. Better.
This is nice to see Trinity Rodman get some love
But let's be real, we would never hear them refer to the NBA as the Men's Professional Basketball league.
It's called the NWSL. Let's do our homework & cover women's sports. Not happy with breadcrumbs.
I am completely shaken by the news of Grant Wahl’s passing, I don’t even know what to say. I’m heartbroken for his family and for everyone who knew him. He was so kind and he’s one of the OG ally’s in women’s soccer. Thinking of and sending love to so many people tonight.
Ash, man. Just one of the kindest, most genuine, caring, see-you-as-you-are type people I’ve met in my whole life. She has an incredible resume on the field, but truly just not even comparable to the person, friend, wife, mom she is in every day life. ilysm

Idk if you all realize, but now that the club has a foundation it’s going to be impossible to match an offer for a NJ/NY team. The amount of opportunity to make money & network in NYC is worlds ahead of other markets. Gotham players get invited to events & parties almost weekly
Let’s go back to January 13, 2023 when I told all of you not to sleep on Delanie when people weren’t even listing her on their depth charts. BALL DONT LIEEEEEE BABY!!!!!
Today officially marks my last day of unemployment and I gotta say minus the extreme poverty it has been amazing to do absolutely nothing and I’ll be thinking about my bed, couch, and Netflix as I am contributing to society on Monday 🖤

No one more deserving! Idk if you guys really understand how much Imani does outside of soccer, but this girl literally spends every second of her free time at events and on calls giving back her time. And she still has the energy to ball out on the field. Unreal. ily

Yesterday I took a knee during the national anthem to protest social injustice and police brutality in America. I will continue to do so until Black lives matter just as much as any other life in this country. I’m proud to kneel alongside so many others that feel the same

Despite a dominant performance with a 6-goal victory over Scotland, England's journey in the UWNL comes to an end.
This result means England misses out on a spot in the finals and, consequently, Team GB won't be qualifying for the Olympics.

Thanks to the fans, staff, players, everyone involved who keeps us going. It hasn’t been easy, but I hope everyone knows how proud I am to play for this club. Until next time 💙💙
We’re playing the Spirit tonight, but make no mistake that we are 100% together on everything happening off the field right now, so I’d like to remind everyone to continue amplifying their message to their current ownership:
United lost a lot of players during the last transfer window and a club with that type of name shouldn’t have that big of a problem signing and retaining players. So I’d guess there’s either an internal problem at the club or the problem is the coach…
Marc Skinner calls for Manchester United to "invest" in order to compete with Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City. Skinner wants more depth in his defence. He adds: “It’s interesting, Chelsea have an injury and they can just go ‘bang’ and sign another forward."
I’ve always said that for me, the gap between college and the NWSL was too big. Myself and many others closed that gap by going overseas. Having a reserve team gives players the option to stay in the states while they develop enough to make a first team. Well done

For his first time going on the record in a story since his suspension this summer, Richie Burke chose to attack one of his former players, calling her "a cancer in the locker room" and saying she "didn't like me & I couldn't stand her either."
My heart hurts so bad for Sinead and Mana. I cannot imagine the bravery it takes to speak publicly about something so personal and traumatizing. These poor f*cking women should NEVER have had to go through this. Holy hell I’m enraged
