When CC said she was betting on a game, no one had a thing to say. Now Paige and Angel do it, a group of bad faith actors chimes in and the league issues a response. The league's inability, both with this and the situation in Seattle, to identify folks operating in bad faith is so frustrating.

It feels like I imagined that obvious #ESP handball. Called out by the opposition but was ignored by the refs and wasn't flagged by VAR. Commentators discussed it briefly, even consulting their rules expert, but no one brought it up again?
I appreciate all the people raising their voices to criticize the youth development pipeline in soccer that is very clearly broken. However, there's an insistence in suggesting that the issue is limited to just "men's football" when it is so clearly not. youtube.com/shorts/zTYrY...
