The NWSL dropped its “Rodman Rule” restrictions, allowing more players eligibility.
The rule limited the league’s top salaries to players who met certain criteria, including appearing on media rankings of the world’s best players.

FIFA is looking to bundle its English and Spanish World Cup rights together for 2030.

Professional softball players are pushing to unionize as the sport continues to grow.
Three players told FOS they want a seat at the table as investment, attendance, and viewership rise in the AUSL, which has yet to recognize the union.
I spoke with three of the softball players spearheading the new AUSL Players Association efforts.
"If this is going to be a professional sport, we need to run it like all of the other sports."

My phone just reminded me that two years ago today, I was covering the Liberty as they won the WNBA Finals. What a night.

Update:
An attorney advising on the case tells me Pang was released from ICE custody today after a judge granted his bond yesterday. Like Seck, his immigration case is still ongoing.
ICE detained another college basketball player at the airport last week: Mississippi Valley State's Qingfing Pang from China.
He's one of several college basketball players detained by ICE in recent months, following Aminata Seck and Deng Deng.frontofficesports.com/articl…

Here are more photos from my interview with NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman at the FOS Tuned In media event last week!
I'll thread this post with my stories from the event, and you can watch our full conversation on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=MVAX1sQe…
“So it’s our job, it’s my job, to work with them to find solutions that can make sure that we respect our incumbent owners and solve for making sure that the club and the team are set up for success moving forward.”

“Candidly it gave us an opportunity to shop those rights, even though it was only for one-and-a-quarter years,” Berman said, “and really sort of assess the appetite for interest in our league moving forward.”

I asked Son Heung-Min about the support he receives from local Tottenham supporters groups across the county.
“I’m the biggest Spurs supporter. Everywhere I go see Spurs shirts... I’m just so grateful to see those kind of fans. I cried too when I left this club,” he said.
Here’s how close NYCFC’s Etihad Park is to Citi Field. I’m standing at what will be the main entrance.
NYCFC COO Jennifer O’Sullivan tells the media that the video screen behind her and on the far side will be the largest in MLS.
She says they couldn’t go far into the ground because of the floodplain, and had height restrictions being in LaGuardia’s flight path.

Asked Veronica Burton if she’s seen the mural of her grandfather, Ron Burton, at Northwestern’s new Ryan Field.
“I can’t wait to get out there.”
