The NWSL celebrated a new attendance record on Saturday with a sellout crowd of 40,091 at MLB’s Oracle Park as Bay FC hosted the Washington Spirit. It is the second attendance record that Bay FC is a part of after being part of last year’s then-record attendance (35,038) at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Bay were spoilers of the marquee matchup last year during their inaugural season and are now the sole owners of the highest attended match in NWSL history. The visitors won 3-2, with goals by Kate Wiesner and Croix Bethune.
“Breaking the NWSL attendance record is a historic moment that extends far beyond a single match. It represents the foundation we are building at Bay FC and the legacy we hope to leave for future generations of players and fans. By pushing boundaries today, we are shaping what women’s football will look like tomorrow. Special thanks to each and every Bay Area fan. You made this historic moment possible,” a Bay FC club statement read.
The new crowd record is the highest of any match in NWSL dating back to the league’s inaugural season in 2013 and is a new benchmark for any U.S. women’s professional sports league.
The loss for Bay FC means a longer march toward a playoff push. The group now sit four points off the playoff line after week 17. A win for the Spirit puts them in second-place with 31 points, as third-place San Diego Wave FC have 29 points, and a game against Racing Louisville on Sunday.

Davis wrong to box Paul? ‘No fighter would turn it down’
The boxing world is coming to terms with Gervonta Davis boxing Jake Paul in an exhibition later this year.Paul entered professional boxing with a vast following on social media. Still essentially a novice pro, he might have lost to Tommy Fury but has beaten big-name MMA fighters in boxing, outpointed a 58-year-old Mike Tyson and most recently defeated a former world champion in Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. However when he meets Davis in November he'll be boxing a current world champion who's 30 years old. The complication is that Davis is a lightweight, and Paul boxes at cruiserweight and above.That is a significant difference. Paul is about six foot one inch tall and around 200lbs, Davis just over five foot five and he boxes at 135lbs. Spreaker This content is provided by Spreaker, which may be using cookies and other […]

I had so many chances. I was like, 'eventually […]
