This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

My post was also about global women's leagues surviving by spade

I 100% agree with you that European women's football doesn't need the US or NWSL anymore. That's true, but those leagues are on a shoestring budget as well.


Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG have women's clubs and perhaps the men's players on those big squads may help by donating wages to help support the women's organizations. But their Womens Super League competition needs to survive too and Birmingham City and Brighton women's teams may face stiffer challenges. Their men's teams will need revenue and perhaps at the expense of their ladies clubs.

Hell, if anyone is a European club fan and their club has a women's team, buy that jersey to support your club too! = D
