Takeaways ... from NWSL interim CEO Marla Messing's presser

• by Soccer America , Nov 20, 2021

1. The renewal of the NWSL's agreement with founding partner Nike is the “most substantial agreement in NWSL history.” (It also signals support for the league after Nike's statement it was "deeply disturbed" about the league's abuse scandals.)
2. The Nike deal is one of a dozen multi-year corporate partners who will provide “millions of dollars of resources" into the league for its clubs and players.
3. The three-year agreement reached with CBS in early 2020 will now run through the 2023 season. The 2020 regular season and playoffs never took place.
