Trinity Rodman’s Multimillion-Dollar Deal Rejected by NWSL

The Washington Spirit offered superstar Trinity Rodman a contract worth more than $1 million a year to keep her at the National Women’s Soccer League club, but Commissioner Jessica Berman has rejected it, according to people familiar with the matter.

Berman thwarted the four-year deal because it violated the spirit of the rules, according to the people who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the deal.
