I spent a considerable amount of time today writing out my thoughts on the political aspects of the upcoming Games as well as the history of protests among Olympic athletes.

Are we really just a nation of whiners?
By: Melissa | 1 Comment
To say it’s been a hard couple of days for me is a bit of an understatement. I’ve heard precarious arguments from our President regarding this oil crisis. I’ve heard disturbing comments from our Federal Reserve Chairman regarding this oh-no-it’s-really-not-a recession, and I’ve heard one of our presumptive Presidential candidate’s top economic advisors [...]
Better luck next year?

It’s not looking good for Jersey Sky Blue to make the W-League playoffs. The Washington Freedom just clinched berth #2, and The Long Island Rough Riders sit in third place with the same points, but less games played. And since I last wrote, FC Indiana clinched a spot and the title for their [...]

Ok, so this Designated Player thing. I have to admit I really like all those blogs and I’ve been subscribed to their rss feeds for a while now, but I don’t see the benefit to them “branding” themselves at all. I can’t shake the sense that the whole build up and unveiling is [...]

I recently stumbled upon the site, Womens World Football and their list of the top 20 world club teams (which may or may not be completely up to date but I’m going to assume it’s accurate). And, hey, it turns out, the list is scattered with W-League teams. Here’s the list:
