Good morning. The @aleaguewomen season kicks off today. Yes it has some existential issues. Clubs that individually and collectively could do better. Player welfare concerns. A talent drain overseas to play and to day jobs at home. But the main enemy of the competition is still apathy and disengagement. Waiting for every meta issue to be resolved before caring about who wins and why will mean waiting forever. The actual game of football itself is still the entertainment. And my philosophy has always been that making people fall in love with the game is the best way to keep them coming back at any level from grassroots to the World Cup, regardless of your background or beliefs. Give watching the games a go. Let me and my colleagues hook you in on contests you’ll enjoy and remember. Being enthusiastic about every 90 minutes on a week-to-week journey to crowning a champion doesn’t mean it’s an endorsement of every strategic decision or big picture concern off the field. The games are compelling, the players have great stories, and the competition is as accessible as it’s ever been. Every game is free on the 10 app (formerly 10 Play). Just hit “Live TV” on the home screen and scroll to the match. Every game is also available live along with full replays and highlights on Paramount+. So join us today and every weekend until May as we deliver season 19. And if you need a crash course in who’s playing where and what teams are looking like, give the season preview below a read 👇🏻
