@benjmorey @HeatherOReilly @TheNCCourage This league is built off small name players. There are more players whose names/careers the public doesn’t know about than players they do. They make up majority of the league(s) and reality is - they are the ones who are impacted the most by these things.

@HeatherOReilly @TheNCCourage Girl, players were being abused so maybe it was for the best

At best this post is tone deaf considering what Carly Nelson has voiced about her experience at the club.

Imagine you’re in the middle of getting chest compressions and you hear the ref saying “play on” - someone go ahead and convince me the health and well being of players is a “top priority” after that

I quit soccer from the Utah Royals because it made me want to kms. Fortunately I’m too conceited to do that - If that doesn’t speak volumes about culture idk what does y’all. Sport is never that serious. Hope this helps 💚 https://t.co/b9UYaKV1xN

Really thoughtful conversation between @thereal_icarly and the host. Highly recommend listening to the whole thing. https://t.co/GedAgD7S0g

Not naming names here but putting white players on a black history month post is pretty crazy

@NWSLtoughconvos @JessicaBerman1 Thank you for keeping my story alive. I reported the abuse of this club for 5 months and not a single thing was done about it. A lot of players are suffering in silence still

We shouldn’t have to choose between our mental health, & our careers. These organizations need to foster safer environments, ensuring all athletes, employees & staff are supported & cared for, not harmed. Organizations need to be part of the solution, not the root of the problem.

See the @nwsl_players making history in giving the players freedom and security in their careers? Very mindful, very demure. 💅✨

Some said a CBA like this would never happen. #WeSaidNow. The Players just secured freedom over their careers and made history as the first American major pro sport to eliminate the draft. Player freedom secured. Read more about our new CBA via link in bio. #wesaidnow

Utah native and @UtahRoyalsFC goalkeeper Carly Nelson posts on her Instagram story about her extended absence from the team, saying she is “taking mental health leave.” “Not retiring…just resting for a bit.”

It’s sending a message that the Federation does not prioritize the creation of safe spaces for trans and gender-diverse players. This lack of prioritization to protect trans and gender diverse players - undermines efforts to promote inclusivity and respect.

Her and her family have demonstrated a clear disregard for respect and well-being of queer individuals across the globe.

By openly making fun of pronouns, liking and posting transphobic and homophobic things - sheds a direct light on the harmful and hateful ideas keeping trans and queer people unsafe in this sport.

Korbins actions are not just a controversy or a one-time mistake; they are hateful and they reflect and perpetuate the systemic oppression of queer people in our society.

Korbin epitomizes what the LGBTQIA+ community continuously has to fight against. The US Soccer Federation continuing to give her a platform, diminishes the safety and comfort of queer players.

As a queer player playing a sport - how are we not talking more about Korbin Albert being called into camp after demonstrating homophobic and transphobic actions? Her actions are creating an unsafe space for lgbtqia+ players. A thread:

A couple of Pro Utes in the @NWSL 🤩
