That headline is about all the info in it. But if you go into reader mode in your phone you can read it without a sub.
15 women resigned from the SWNT. They are upset with coach Jorge Vilda, saying he creates a toxic culture and environment. Spanish FA is standing with the coach, saying they will not be "blackmailed" and according to Spanish legislation, they face 2-5 yr ban. Some history of the situation:
I can’t believe Paulson hasn’t been forced to sell yet. He’s an arrogant ass who is dirt poor compared to the other owners and has been letting this Shit go on forever. He deserves the worst that this world has to offer.
From what I’ve gathered reading these reports, this harassment and abuse is rampant and has gone unchecked since literally forever. I’m actually surprised the players and non-shitbag staff haven’t boycotted.
He owns both the Timbers & the Thorns, the other workers don’t get to see shit because they are covering 2 franchises. Lots of staff have simply left. It’s a classic case of somebody with power being able to throw it around and it filter down.
The league forced out DLH at RSL for a lot less imo. I was ecstatic to see DLH go and I’ll be ecstatic if Paulson goes.
MLS can just privately tell the league's sponsors and Portland's sponsors to come out and boycott the team, which would essentially force Merritt to sell. And, MLS is different than every other league in that even though they've given way more power recently to the "owners" of MLS clubs, MLS is the real owner of every club and the "real owners" are technically what they call Investors/Operators because of Single Entity. Timbers/Thorns will likely be put up for sale by Thanksgiving at the latest though.
93rd minute game winner in the semifinal. KC-Sea about to kick off to see who they play in the championship.
And there it is. Thorns v Current in the final. Impossible for Matt Potter not to be CotY. Their entire offseason was about bringing in Mewis and Williams and both were out for the season and they still made the finals. In saying that, AD Franch HAS to win GKotY. Another shut out tonight. She’s been so clutch. She’s the starter for the USWNT imo, Vlatko’s my boy but he needs to give her more looks.
7 o’clock tonight on big CBS. You can either root for the vile Merritt Paulson or Americas Sweetheart Paul Rudd. Easy choice.
Fuuuuuuuck. OG and that’s the match. No way KC comes back down 2 with all of Portlands talent. Congrats to the serial enabler.
From last place to the finals. Great turn around. When you consider Lynn flippin Williams and Sam flippin Mewis played exactly 0 minutes all year THATS damn impressive. Add another stud to the team, get healthy, open the worlds first ever stadium designed specifically for a woman’s team in the riverfront and gat damn we’ll have a stew cooking in the heartland. We need to cause the mens team is Shit.
Unfortunately that rat fuck will probably make a nice profit from this. Doubt DonG had enough balls to make him sell the Timbers.
They posted this yesterday and everyone assumed it was Melchie and then some writer said it wasn’t her she’s goi to Lyon. I was thinking Ertz or one of the FA CBs. That’s crazy news.
