It’s true.
My mom was going around Washington, DC introducing herself as the Commissioner’s mom so now she is ready for the Championship with this sweatshirt. Love you mom.

As leaders of leagues, federations and governing bodies, we must protect our players. The actions by the Spanish federation are unconscionable and a reminder that there’s still work to do. We stand with
@JenniHermoso
and any players who face inappropriate behavior or abuse.
Grateful that this day is finally upon us...there are not enough words permitted on Twitter to explain "the why" but it doesn't much matter -- fact is, it took too long. Thank you for your passion and for holding us accountable. We will do better. And, our social team = the best!
We finish up one chapter

Game day. What a week. And we aren't even at kickoff yet. Thanks once again to our fans, partners, staff, and most importantly our athletes. It takes a village working together. Now let's get everyone to watch tonight who can't make it here!

. First woman to win Executive of the Year in the award’s 17 year history. What you have done for the NWSL and for women’s sports is nothing short of incredible. SO deserved.
Sometimes, for no good reason, I miss my dad in the deepest and most profound way. I doubt he’s monitoring Twitter wherever he is, but it feels better to put this out in the universe than in my journal. 😢 💔

Angel City FC has $35 MILLION in contracted sponsorship revenue, says President Julie Uhrman.
That’s led by deals with DoorDash (main kit), Birdies (sleeve) and Sprouts (back of shirt).
The 2022 expansion team still has not played a single match in the NWSL.

I am crying. Actual tears. Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. Literally my hero and role model in life. We went to the same elementary school and high school. I dreamed of following in her footsteps since I was a child. I feel like I can’t breathe.

: one tournament doesn’t define you…for decades you have built a legacy of greatness that has literally changed the world. Let this challenging moment inspire innovation and growth. I can’t imagine how hard this feels, but know we are with you!
Our sport grows through the will, power, dedication and vision of our leadership. Case in point, Michele Kang and her growing impact far beyond the pitch.
#nwsl
@WashSpirit
I interviewed Michele Kang, arguably the first tycoon of women's football, owner of the Washington Spirit, Olympique Lyon Féminin and London City Lionesses. How does she plan to grow the game? And during the interview, her banker rang with big news.
