jenni hermoso: time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2024

as written by nwsl player mana shim who had her own experiences with sexual harassment at her club team!

"There wasn’t a question in Jenni Hermoso’s mind that what Luis Rubiales did to her onstage after her team won the 2023 Women’s World Cup was wrong. When Rubiales, the president of the Spanish foot-ball federation—Hermoso’s boss—grabbed her face and kissed her, millions of us watching live on television knew it was wrong too.  Speaking up in 2021 about my own experience with sexual harassment was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, so I know how much bravery it requires. My decision to come forward helped spur a new era in women’s soccer in the U.S.—but globally, soccer is still controlled by men. Hermoso courageously told her truth, over and over again, despite efforts to silence her. After Spanish players united as one in protest, Rubiales resigned and was eventually banned for three years by FIFA. In the National Women’s Soccer League last summer, my teammates and I were proud to wear her name on our wrist to stand behind her and continue her call for change."

happy international women's day

From the Gotham team party before they split up

SOOOO many reasons I need Gotham to beat the Thorns but one major one is for Sinead and Mana. Gotham gave them a chance after Thorns betrayed them. They deserve to win, they deserve to have that over on the Thorns.

I can't believe deuxmoi was going through Mana Shim's Twitter likes on their podcast today. How did we get here?? 💀

Led by former U.S. deputy attorney general Sally Yates, the investigation also exposed an NWSL leadership that repeatedly chose to ignore players when they spoke out. Two of the players named in the report who filed complaints, Christen Press and Samantha Johnson, are Black. They stepped forward in a league that has historically been overwhelmingly white, despite soccer being the most global of sports, and played in a country that deliriously labeled itself a melting pot. When Press and Johnson spoke up, they faced the same backlash other Black women have received time and time again for refusing to remain silent about their toxic workplaces. Two other players in the report, Mana Shim and Sinead Farrelly, are gay, and were specifically targeted because of their sexual orientation.

On the other side here we have Ali's teammate:

[ID: three gifs of Mana Shim at the Gotham FC vs. Angel City FC game on July 2, 2023. The first gif shows Shim standing by the 4th official, tightening her pony tail. The second gif shows Ali Krieger coming off for Shim, the two hugging as Shim prepares to enter the match. The third gif shows Shim on the field, gesturing to a teammate. end ID]

Playing in the NWSL for the first time since 2018... 😭
