UNITED STATES - An unnamed international soccer player reportedly qualified for the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) High impact Player (HIP) designation (designation) by having a, “really cool Tik Tok video,” despite the player only having 400 minutes during the last season.
“Just look at this video,” stated Jessica Berman, commissioner of the NWSL, to our reporter. “This video is worth a couple million, right? I think teams should pay for this video. This is a HIP player.”
Sources say that a number of nearly part time and injured players qualified for HIP designation just by virtue of cool tik tok videos over the past 5 years as even retired players were apparently available to be signed under the new mechanism.
“Have you seen the numbers this Abby Wambach podcast video did on Instagram,” stated one NWSL representative. “She clearly has the star power that any team would love to have on their roster.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the NWSL institutes a best fit and swimsuit category for HIP designation.
