"Monarch Collective Expands Fund To $250 Million To Keep Fueling Women’s Sports Boom"
"...investors are so eager to get into the NWSL and other surging leagues that its founders have secured an additional $100 million for their war chest."

Cute story about football (soccer): Pernille Harder & Magdalena Eriksson.
These women are a married couple, and they both play for Bayern Munchen. One of them is Swedish and the other one is Danish. Yesterday, the national teams of Sweden and Denmark matched against each other, and they were both captain of their team.
(Sweden won but the Danish half of this couple scored a goal.)
Tired: What time does the Super Bowl start?
Wired: What time does the USWNT She Believes Cup roster drop?
The next Women's World Cup will be streamed on Netflix. Some are saying this is bad because it puts the sport behind a paywall. But more than half of the matches in the 2023 WC required an expensive cable subscription. As of right now, the number of subscribers of cable & Netflix is essentially equal in the US, and by 2027 Netflix should be ahead. So it looks like MORE people will have access this time around.
Granted, that ignores the OTA broadcasts. So, how do you TV?
Please boost
Fuck off, FIFA...
Ars Technica: The next two FIFA Women's World Cups will only air on Netflix
#NWSL friends,
I'm not sure if this is the official league account, if it is, you can keep up with the league's Bluesky page by following this bridged account. @nwslsoccer.com
Sloppy start for both teams but liking the Deacs chances. Second half starts now;

"After her recent BBC accolade, Banda faced a massive social media backlash, mostly from the United Kingdom. Renowned author and transphobe JK Rowling, former footballer Joey Barton and former swimmer Sharron Davies have all been vocal and vitriolic in their criticism of Banda. Outside of the right-wing, she is wrapped in support.
Her club team, Orlando Pride, for whom she scored the only goal in the match that gave them the title two days before she was given the BBC’s recognition, said they were “incredibly proud” of her. Megan Rapinoe, a World Cup winner with the United States, also rallied behind her. “This is so deserved,” she posted on an Instagram story."
