Hey, Gov. Murphy: Fix your sweatshop of a women's soccer team | Politi

No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this is something all New Jersey residents can agree upon: If Gov. Phil Murphy runs the state's government the way he runs his women's professional soccer team, we're all in deep trouble.

And, to be clear, the word "professional" is a stretch here, because little about Sky Blue -- the team that plays its home on the Rutgers campus -- sounds worthy of that classification.

Players lived in a house with "plastic bags for windows," routinely had travel issues that made Planes, Trains and Automobiles feel like a documentary and faced the less-than-professional choice of doing their own laundry or wearing dirty uniforms to practice.
