🧵 When the National Women's Soccer League erupted into controversy this season over a slew of assault allegations, the future of the league — and more broadly, U.S. women’s professional soccer — looked uncertain.

Go deeper: axios.com/nwsl-women-soc…
The U.S. has had three women's professional soccer leagues in two decades, with the first two each lasting just three seasons. But the NWSL may be on a different path.

That is, if the league and its teams put players' concerns front and center.
axios.com/nwsl-women-soc…
Multiple NWSL players this year detailed cases of harassment and abuse. What followed was a league-wide reckoning:

❌ Games canceled
❌ NWSL commissioner stepped down
❌ Multiple coaches fired

America is bracing for a sequel to the protests after George Floyd's murder — this time, with a focus less on police and more on self-defense laws.

axios.com/rittenhouse-tr…
Activists and law enforcement officials warn that two ongoing national trials — both where the accused are claiming self-defense — could have the ingredients to reignite racial tensions and public protests when verdicts are handed down.

axios.com/rittenhouse-tr…
Activists worry that acquittals could embolden vigilantes who commit gun violence — especially against people of color — and then claim self-defense.

13 Republicans crossed party lines to help Dems pass the $1.2T infrastructure bill, with some swing-district reps saying they can survive the fallout from their own party — and that their vote strengthens their standing with voters next year.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis after she helped Democrats pass the bill despite no-votes from 6 liberal lawmakers, including AOC:

“I weakened their hand. They have no leverage now. … I voted against AOC and the squad tonight."

axios.com/house-republic…
Rep. Don Bacon told Axios he faced a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't choice.

“You vote one way, maybe it hurts in the primary. You vote the other way... in my district, it'd hurt me in the general."
