Amid concerns about the NWSL expanding into states that already limit or could limit abortion rights, UtahRoyalsFC officials have promised the club will financially support players and staffers who may opt for the medical procedure.

Nearly a year before the Royals were officially announced to return to the Beehive State, National Women’s Soccer League Commissioner Jessica Berman was clear that when she considered potential markets to which to expand the league, abortion rights would be part of the decision-making process.

“We have those safety nets and systems in place through the league office where players can have their medical needs addressed, even if they have to leave the market, and we are here to support them to the extent that’s necessary,” Berman said. “And we know the ownership group here [in Utah] is aligned to ensure that that’s the case.”

. “It stops people from having safe abortions. ... I just can’t understate how sad and how cruel this is. I think the cruelty is the point, because this is not pro-life by any means.”

Awesome but why not make sure in all this that vasectomies and tubal ligation are paid for. Encouraging staff, players etc to be proactive in their decisions about sex. Better to prevent than terminate. Of course there will always be exceptions and those must be available

Good grief! I can't remember the last time The Salt Lake Tribune offered anything of value. Not in my lifetime.

Killing babies is always the right thing for woke liberals

That blood won’t wash off easily in spite of all his money. Good luck with that.

He’s amazing! Giving his own hard earned cash to assist women… in murdering their kids.

The Trib really wants us to know that RyanQualtrics supports women murdering their babies. They’ve tweeted this article at least three times. I predict this won’t work out well for Ryan and his wife at some point.

Another nerd that sold a company for big money and now is nerding out by buying a mediocre sports team and thinking more ppl will like him if he’s the wokest of the woke.

Good for Ryan Smith for supporting women and for being his own person and following his truth.

UT County Bros be like got my hat on backwards in my 40s I’m tight oh and some Jordan’s

Turns out women’s leagues desire basic women’s rights for their players to want to come here 🤷‍♂️

This is about bottom line. Cheaper than having a woman on maternity leave. Disgusting

Disgusting.

No games missed. Get your abortions and see you on the pitch on Friday, ladies!

Good.

Disgusting, so glad I still am boycotting the China/NBA! Shame on you Mr. Smith.

Medical benefit?

No game time missed. See you back in the office on Monday!
