Receipts? We’ve got ’em.
Of course, this is a labor of love. We believe all athletes deserve excellent, equitable, and antiracist coverage. Particularly those in women’s professional leagues who have been denied resources and attention. So we joyfully give. But it’s also costing us. As we began Boston Women’s Sports, we decided to keep track of our expenses.
We want to be transparent about what excellent, equitable and antiracist coverage costs as we make the cast for increased investment. Women’s sports coverage shouldn’t be a volunteer effort. It should be professional, mainstream, regular media coverage. Because truthfully, we should be paid. Our time is valuable and our wisdom is earned.
We are building the world we believe in. Because these athletes and the fans, and we deserve it.
We’ll get to this world one day. Make a contribution to build it faster.
But for now, we’re keeping receipts.
