I'd love for this to be what finally gets Gavin out of the role of at least the GM of the Thorns (seriously, give them their entire own management loving hell), I am not going to hold my breath.

Did anyone ever say what got Christy Holly fired this time, beyond just "for cause"? There were rumors when he was fired from SBFC that he was real gross/abusive to players (beyond the one he eventually married).

Looks like the players requested it and the league granted it with a side helping of relief from not having fans in the stadium for Portland/Seattle tomorrow night.

Done. Needed a new journo/ITK since Angel City hired Kim McCauley. Kim is still an excellent follow, just can't talk openly about NWSL stuff.

At the Timbers game and Merritt has not walked below us for our usual conversation. Haven’t seen him at all actually, wonder what’s up.

Unsurprisingly, this isn't an America-only problem as Lisa De Vanna details all the poo poo she's been through in the W-League. Well it's a good thing Australia isn't hosting the next Women's Wor... ...oh...right...

Only ones I can think of would be Tom Torres but he left the Spirit last year, or maybe Craig Harrington getting fired from Utah at the end of last year. Officially Torres quit to "pursue other interests" but it came out after Burke was suspended that he resigned because he was being real gross at a Challenge Cup 2020 afterparty. Only other head coaches who left their positions this year were for other coaching jobs.

Angel City has 11k season ticketholders? That's pretty good! https://twitter.com/JeffKassouf/status/1451220677692960769 Also, no clue how that's allowable given the league salary cap but it's not a wild amount of money.
