I think sponsors need to pull out. Of course, they just got a new one this week. Hopefully WAGS pulls it's sponsorship though. How can an organization like that support such misogyny and abuse?


Did CVS Health drop them?

and now Lindsay Barenz is out as director of business operations--did she leave because of the gross incompetence or get pushed out for speaking out?

“Doing well” vs. being the next big USWNT superstar is tanking IMHO. I didn’t say she sucked, just that she’s dropped from the precipice.


In this subject matter I'm sure your opinion should be a humble one. A USWNT star gets old very quickly and to be a star one must have a certain flair that is attractive to watch, otherwise you're just a hardworking athlete, and there are too many of those to stand out.

IMHO I think she is fine and should be whomever she wants to be and portray herself as however she pleases. She will live with her decisions, regrets, either because she took action or she didn't.


I agree and I was the poster that said she tanked. I can have both opinions simultaneously believe it or not. She’ll be fine and she’s a strong player, just not at the pinnacle of potential as she one was. Meanwhile, Burke’s had his run. Time for him to hang up his coach’s jacket.


go bobby - its your birthday - go bobby!
It's truly the PERFECT opportunity...the team is already used to the "training" techniques.

Who is abusing her? We were talking about the trade and how that was a good move for the Spirit. And there was discussion about how her form has fallen off.

Nothing was personal. Nobody said she was responsible for Richie's issues.




+1. Trolls acting as anti-trolls, then pulling the race card. Anyhow, Burke did this to himself, and no ones blaming Pugh, but Pugh’s career is not as promising as it once was. Both are truisms.
