Turner Sports gets U.S. Soccer TV rights, Washington Spirit to play in WICC, and more: Freedom Kicks for March 2, 2022

Happy Wednesday, everyone. We got some big news for the USWNT and USMNT yesterday, so we start there:

8 years, $25-27 million per year for U.S. Soccer, as TNT, TBS, and HBO Max will be the new home of the USMNT and USWNT starting next year.

The Washington Spirit will participate in the Women’s International Champions Cup this summer, which will be hosted by the Portland Thorns. Chelsea FC is the 3rd team, and either PSG, FC Barcelona, or Bayern Munich will be the 4th team to round out the tournament.
