Really no better example of the #NWSLtoColumbus scam than "visionary founder" Kara Trott, who sits on the Executive Committee of the Partnership, talking about "girls in the stands" becoming "the women who lead"—maybe of the political party actively trying to disenfranchise married women?

What Columbus can learn from Cleveland about allowing a 'benign conspiracy of CEOs' to dictate public policy within their city and region.
The latest example is a plan to steal a park from poor people and give $50 million to MAGA benefactor Jimmy Haslam.

Columbus corporate consent manufacturing machine goes 'brrr' for #NWSLtoColumbus

No news here about Columbus. But it appears an NWSL strategy is to say, "well if you spent public money on the men, do it again for the women." Fair point about a public gouging system. #nwsl #mls #nwsltoColumbus
