Ranking NWSL teams by how gay the name is
The NWSL is one of the gayest sports leagues in the world, with legends like Megan Rapinoe, Ali Krieger, Tobin Heath, and Quinn helping establish the league, and current stars like Christen Press, Marta, Debinha, and Tierna Davidson continuing to lead the way.
The league's games are also a haven for queer people, with pride flags, butches, queer kids, and trans support everywhere the eye can see! Going to an NWSL game is basically like going to lesbian heaven.
But what fans really want to know is, what team name is the gayest? That's where we come in with our expert analysis!
So without further ado, these are all the currently named NWSL teams ranked in ascending order by how gay the club name sounds.

According to a social media rumor, the team name was changed from the Red Stars in 2024 due to "new ownership's belief that the team's name had a political connotation they didn't like." We don't know if there's any truth to that rumor, but there is nothing gay about trying to distance yourself from communism.
