On Sunday, The National Women's Soccer League announced that its championship would be played on Nov. 20 at Providence Park in Portland. Players quickly took issue with both the venue and start time.
Providence Park is a turf stadium and that the championship match would begin at 9 a.m. PST. For East Coast viewers, that would mean being up by 6 a.m. local time to watch the biggest match of the season.
Players Ashley Harris, Jessica McDonald, Jessica Fishlock, Rachel Corsie, Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris were among the disgruntled who took to Twitter with their frustrations.
