Berman asked about teams staying within salary cap compliance/rules (@jennatonelli.bsky.social), and the Commissioner brings up 3 points: 1- all contracts have to be signed by the league, 2- NWSL has a full-time team for Cap compliance, and 3- there are cap audits each year.
on Salary cap compliance (Q @jennatonelli.bsky.social) "we have a full-time team who is responsible for salary cap compliance" adds "we do ongoing salary cap audits each year to have an additional level of protection and and confidence that everyone is is playing by the rules"

a thread of all five goals from tonight cause this is something we're gonna be talking about for a while 🤭🧵⤵️
I am told Ann-Katrin Berger is not injured and is taking some rest during a busy stretch of games for Gotham.
Just for context, when Mal Swanson suffered the same injury she didn't play a competitive match for 11 months. There's a full offseason at the end of that, so it's not a perfect comp. Asked a PT friend who put 9 months at "very ambitious," with a full year more likely (and that's with 0 setbacks)
