Sunday “belongs” to the NFL. And yet yesterday, we had: - The largest women’s basketball crowd ever - The highest gate receipt in WNBA history - The first-ever NWSL decision day Women’s sports doesn’t need men’s sports to fail in order to succeed. It’s not a zero-sum game.

Domestically, if you are so passionate about the USWNT and the future of the game. Roll up your sleeves. Coach. Be on a board. Be an advisor. Volunteer. Lots of change needed to be sure but let’s make sure we all back up our words with our own actions before we punch down.

Proud to say I was the only mom on the World Cup winning team in 2019 (2016, ‘18, and ‘19 NWSL Championship teams as well). Proud to help pave the way for current and future moms. Like snoop dogg said, “I would like to thank me….” Have a read ♥️ nytimes.com/2023/07/31/sport…

Women have long blended motherhood and elite sports. But as soccer expands its support systems, it is also demanding ever more of its players.

The George Floyd generation reads a Supreme Court opinion where older White men race-plain America as “color-blind.” Youth see the difference between colorblind & turning a blind eye to racism’s history. The opinion is legally and generationally illegitimate. #affirmativeaction

Woman next to me on ✈️ just told me that the incoming class at @Harvard is over 50% black + under 5% white. Was curious about the source, so she’s sending me screenshot “proof.” Well… let’s just say 💯 NOT my experience… “source” guesses? #Harvard #AffirmativeAction

The last 20 years have been about getting women’s sports on TV – making these athletes visible. The next 20 are about building the media ecosystem – making these athletes known.

Heartbroken isn’t even the half of it. But that’s sports for you and that’s life, really. I had hoped and worked and hoped some more to make it back in time to help lead the team at this World Cup, but after lots of discussion, unfortunately, there’s just too much variability in my return to play timeline. So, I’ll be working as hard I can to get back on the field as quickly as I can. It’s been an honor to work and play alongside this incredible group of athletes. They have my unwavering support. And, more importantly, they have my unyielding belief. This program has always been about the collective and I have no doubt that the players on the final roster have everything they need—in their feet, their heads and their hearts—to bring our fifth trophy home. To my teammates, I love you. Please, take a minute to enjoy this moment and appreciate everything that brought you here—every second of hard work and every bit of good luck—and then get back to work and go win the whole f*cking thing!

You're actually not a mess at all. You're just a feeling person in a messy world. You are exactly right to feel a lot right now. It does not mean you're weak- it means you're strong enough to be paying attention. Be gentle with you, please.
