This observation is on point and applies to the upcoming or ongoing WNBA CBA situation ..... particularly on the issue of intimate party violence. "What’s especially frustrating about these lobbyist hires is that U.S. Soccer could be doing so much to actually fulfill its mission of growing the sport (or, you know, pay its women) with the hundreds of thousands they’re likely spending on these firms. Statements from both the men’s and women’s teams echoed as much."
