For those who have endured abuse.
For those who are afraid to speak up.
I see you and I will fight for you.
This is for you.
The time for accountability in the @nwsl is now.
Fantastic turnout for our PDXFC Women's game last night! Thank you to all who helped out & showed up for these amazing players! 3-3 tie vs Lane. We have another home game this Saturday, June 24th at 4:00PM at Sam Barlow High School vs Oly Town FC. Join us! Concessions
As I’m out watching games this week:
Dear youth ⚽️ coaches,
Yelling at your players to “wake up” or “that’s not good enough” isn’t coaching.
In fact if they are even listening, what you’re yelling is going to have a negative effect more often than not.
Learning to control our emotions & knowing we don’t have to say everything that pops into our heads is part of coaching maturity.
Yesterday, the crew arrived at Edor Nelson to set up for our game. The club trailer was gone.
Stolen.
Inside were tables, tents, banners, fan giveaways, and other gear. It will cost over $15,000 to replace.
We gratefully accept any help: https://t.co/X6fWIRW4NP
Happy National Girls and Women in Sport Day! ⚽️
We appreciate all of our female players and staff for growing the game for generations to come! Today we celebrate all of the strong girls and women everywhere in sport. 💪🏼

So many things and they are nuanced but one that might be easy to overlook is the Thorns & the NWSL had PREPARED PRESS RELEASES in August 2019 to explain away the Paul Riley 2015 failures in the event he was in the running for the USWNT job. Two years before The Athletic report.
This parent I overheard today was complaining to a staff member about a player wearing a disposable wristband…
Be grateful that your child gets to play in a world class facility!! 👏🏼

A scathing article
Calling out some of the top @ECNLgirls clubs & biggest names in the 🇺🇸
“More than 85% of top executives at ECNL Girls clubs are men, The Post found, & some 50 ECNL clubs appeared to employ zero women in coaching leadership jobs” https://t.co/jAFPhJDFGg
It’s my belief that when serious allegations are brought to you and you ignore us… you should have absolutely nothing to do with this sport ever again. Period.
