2021/07/08

What's good y'all? It's Courtney & André back with another episode! First we run through the latest NWSL headlines and latest results, including a new leader at the top of the table, the oddness of the Benstiti resignation, and the only way to expel the hex Gotham FC has on their goal is to hit BANGERS. Then we talk about the USWNT completing its Send Off Series with Mexico. We dive into what we learned after the two matches in Hartford, including how Mexico impressed us, Christen Press's

What's good!? Courtney & André turned their mics on immediately after the USWNT's 2-0 win versus Nigeria in the final match of the 2021 Summer Series for a chat about the competition overall and where the USWNT stands ahead of the Olympics. Naturally we begin in the right and proper place and do a little stanning over Christen Press's 1 goal and 3 assist performance across three matches in six days! Then we talk about the rare opportunity to see a #FreedMidge for the national team, the somewhat

Racismo returns with Pace and Power

Diaspora United ·

2021/05/05

Courtney and André were all hyped and ready to talk about all of the great football that happened, but the #racismo just wouldn't stop. So before we dove into the matches, we had to discuss the NWSL's hollow statement on their investigation and ultimate failure to believe the Black women in its league and protect them and their families. We also have words for Kaylyn Kyle's silly use of "pace and power" in multiple matches, and her misguided attempt to make up for it in the next match she

Diaspora United ·

Then we hop up to the Pacific Northwest where the Portland Thorns managed to turn a scuffle between two players into a racist incident of their own.

NWSL Got It All Wrong (w/ Sara)

Diaspora United ·

2021/04/07

On International Transgender Day of Visibility the NWSL released itsPolicy on Transgender Athletes. The policy was billed by the league as inclusive, and thetweet announcing the policyeven mentioned how the league wanted to 'celebrate' trans and non-binary 'friends and fans' – except the policy itself fails to mention non-binary athletes at all (even though one out non-binary player already plays in the NWSL). Unfortunately, that was just the tip of a very large and unnecessarily terrible
