I've enjoyed Nike's World Cup commercial series so much I decided to post a thread of them all in once place so we can watch them on repeat until Thursday 🤩
What a day for some of our legends:
-Marta scores Orlando’s winning goal.
-Rapinoe scores 2 and Fishlock scores 1 in Reign’s win.
-Alex Morgan scores a banger.
-Sydney Leroux bicycle kick goal!!!
I love the

This is honestly demeaning to the W, the players, and other coaches. You would never ever see this in the announcement of a MNBA coach. Being a girl dad doesn’t qualify you to be a head coach and it’s insulting to suggest it applies. This is a professional sports team.
“The question is: do you want to look like a better person, or do you want to be a better person?
In order to do better we must be willing to hold our darkness to the light, we must be willing to shatter our own veneer of “goodness.””

’s Small Game at the start of my flight tonight and just sat in the parking lot finishing the final chapter after landing. Couldn’t put it down for a second.
Based on the "What the Football" video that ties the series together, I'm hopeful we get a few more spotlights on Chloe Kelly, Alex Morgan, Asisat Oshoala, Grace Geyoro, and Kadeisha Buchanan! Loving the creativity in showcasing these brilliant ballers.

-What time do you wake up?
-How big are your muscles?

Just so proud of what
@CoachLindsayG
is building at USC. And so incredibly grateful for this new era in women’s sports. Not surprised. Just happy to witness it.
Still speechless. And heartbroken. But one thing is for sure: the women’s game on an international level is so damn competitive now. And that makes it fun. The future of women’s soccer is so bright for so many young women.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’m so happy I don’t have words.

I’m celebrating. He is guilty. But true justice is changing this entire system. Justice is George Floyd being alive. Justice is unbridled black joy and freedom. We have a long way to go.
Have to take a quick pause to be super grateful & a little cheesy.
Today, I get to work the SUPER BOWL. And it kind of feels like I’m dreaming. I’ve got it so good. God is GREAT 🙏

Tune in:
He took the time to sign every cleat, shake every parent’s hand, and cheer on the team for four quarters. Words don’t do our gratitude justice.

SZA seeing Taylor mid speech, freaking out and saying “hi Taylor” then the camera panning to Taylor and she’s freaking out going “I got a shout out!” 🥹🥹🥹
I love women winning.
SO excited to share that I've been conditionally accepted as an LAUSD teacher! (aka halfway there!) Now I get to apply and interview at schools!
One step closer to having my own classroom 😍

A little nervous. But then I remember it’ll be most of their FIRST first days too! We’re in this together ❤️
