In a stunning twist in the world of women’s sports, Angel Reese—WNBA standout and minority owner of DC Power—is publicly weighing in as Trinity Rodman, the Washington Spirit’s marquee talent, stands on the brink of a historic career decision. Rodman’s contract is about to expire, and sources say DC Power, the USL Super League club Reese helps run, has made a “significantly larger” offer than anything her current team or the NWSL can afford.
On social media, Reese’s reaction was electric: a wide‑eyed emoji on X (formerly Twitter), signaling excitement — but also deeper conviction. Her message is clear and powerful: she’s not just investing financially. “I want to help grow women’s sports and elevate female athletes across the board,” she said when she joined DC Power’s ownership group last year.
Reese, a force on the basketball court, is showing equal ambition off it. Her business move into soccer sends a signal: she believes in female athletes’ potential, and she’s ready to put her money where her mouth is.
Meanwhile, Rodman finds herself at a dramatic crossroads. With reported interest from European clubs and now this massive pitch from DC Power, she has real leverage — especially because the NWSL team she’s starred for can’t match non‑league offers due to the salary cap. Yet despite the financial pressure, Rodman is not getting ahead of herself. After a key semifinal, she shared: “Once we get this championship, then I can start making decisions and figuring out what next year looks like for me.”
NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman has made it clear the league doesn’t want to lose Rodman. She’s underlining just how much is at stake — both for her club and for the future of women’s pro soccer in America.
It’s not just a contract negotiation. It’s a cultural moment, a power play: Reese is pushing the business of women’s sports forward, while Rodman considers a leap that could redefine her career — and shake up the NWSL’s financial landscape permanently.
But there’s more than money on the line. For Reese, this is about legacy, not just profit. Her voice isn’t just “another rich athlete investing”; it’s a clarion call. She’s telling the world she’s here to build — not to cash in. And with Rodman holding all the cards, the decision she makes could spark a new chapter in women’s athletics.
The question now: Will Trinity stay with her roots to chase a title — or launch into a bold new venture with DC Power (and Reese) by her side?
Stay tuned. This could be the moment that reshapes women’s sports — for good.
