SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
NWSL to return on June 27 with month-long tournament haven't had time to read this, but one concern was how to handle players with young children.
I will be happy to watch as many games as I can of this as I can. Will be a bit odd though not being able to drive the 5 hours to SLC to see the games live. Some fellow soccer coaches/analysts on twitter have been offering their services for free to be able to attend these games live :)

Better sign up for CBS All Access, prof, since all but two of the matches will be shown live on it.

I cut the cord 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more. So during big tournaments, I subscribe to some online service, watch my games, then cancel. I did YouTube TV (or is it YouTube Live?) last summer for Women's World Cup in France. Did a VPN service one winter for the Olympics as NBC had no online option and Canada and England had free options. Sometimes I get lucky as I get a week or two free trial, though I may have already used my CBS All Access trial on a March Madness one year.

NWSL to return on June 27 with month-long tournament although the USWNT players have not yet agreed to participate -- their salaries are paid by US Soccer and have not been impacted by the league's shutdown.
