Boston's NWSL Team Apologizes After Backlash Over 'Too Many Balls' Campaign

The newly named BOS Nation FC faced criticism for its controversial marketing strategy and has since retracted the campaign.

  • BOS Nation Football Club, Boston's new NWSL team, apologized for its 'Too Many Balls' campaign deemed transphobic and male-centered.
  • The campaign, intended as a tongue-in-cheek nod to Boston's male sports teams, drew backlash from fans and players for its insensitivity.
  • Critics included NWSL players and fans who felt the campaign overshadowed the women's soccer team's launch and failed to reflect inclusivity.
  • The team, set to begin play in 2026, is owned by an all-female group and includes investors like Aly Raisman and Elizabeth Banks.
  • BOS Nation FC will play its home games at White Stadium, which will undergo renovations to become an all-electric, net-zero carbon facility.
