…and the worst part is that WoSo Twitter at that time just lumped Clarkson in with the sexual abusers which I thought was terrible.
Not just woso Twitter, international media. The sexual abuses were such a big story that even the likes of BBC made him front page news. Can't blame any of them given the environment at the time, that's on the league and the team for not providing some context.
I'm trying to figure out what you said here. Are you saying that you heard second hand accounts that Clarkson went over the line, but you don't believe those accounts?
No, was saying that generally the hardcore insulting coach description doesn't fit him. Never saw him raise his voice during a practice, never got any indication that he did it behind closed doors. The second hand account things I heard were more of a vindictive nature (him being vindictive) than a screaming, insulting type of thing.

Great late goal (100 min!) by the Dash in San Jose to take away the 3 pts! BAY FC had a vocal sold out stadium (18,000). Scoring 3 goals in that environment was impressive. What a boost after their sluggish start in the first 2 matches with no goals scored.

Surprised to see Portland at the foot of the NWSL table with only a point in 4 games. Hopefully the Dash can take away a point(s) in Portland, but that is a tough place to play.
Houston Dash record-signing Maria Sanchez requests trade - ESPN From that article: New head coach Fran Alonso was hired at the end of December after three years in charge of Celtic's women's side in Scotland. At Alonso's introductory news conference, Dash general manager Alex Singer spoke about creating stability within the club after years of "highs and lows" and investing resources to establish long-term success. Singer specifically pointed to signing Sanchez when discussing those plans. "We talk about Maria Sanchez; she's had a lot of success," Singer said in December. "How can we make her the absolute, undeniable best winger in this league? She's a great footballer, but what are we providing off the pitch in the gym, a dietician, high-performance director? All of these things to enforce what we already had in place foundationally, but take it up to the next level. "This identity is going to be something that we really focus on -- identity and culture. When anybody -- player, staff -- has the crest of the Houston Dash on their shirt, that's going to have a whole new meaning this coming season and beyond." Houston is 1-2-1 (4 points) through four games this season. The Dash have conceded 10 goals, tied for most in the NWSL. Last year, Houston conceded 18 goals in 22 regular-season games.
