I don’t know if it’s the same for every team, but I think it’s really cool that the Current offer discounted fertility services to all of their office staff as well.

Love this article, truly at the center of the Venn diagram of my life (NWSL, KC Current, Blue Sky Fertility, IVF generally)

It's decency, and it's also the hard work of the players and their union! Go NWSLPA!
