At NetsRepublic.com, we’ve spent years perfecting the playbook for Brooklyn Nets coverage. From front-office analysis to every crossover at the Barclays Center, we’ve held down the fort for Brooklyn basketball fans.
But as the New York sports scene evolved, we heard a new roar. It wasn’t just for the men’s game—it was for the NY Liberty draining threes and Gotham FC dominant runs on the pitch. We realized we were only telling half of the New York story.
A Dedicated Home for Women’s Sports in New York
We didn’t just want to add a “Women’s” tab to a men’s basketball site. To do justice to the growth of the game in 2023, we called an audible and built a brand-new arena: TheLocalW.com.
Think of us as sister sites with a shared DNA but distinct missions. While Nets Republic remains your go-to for Brooklyn Nets news, The Local W is our specialized startup built to provide high-fidelity coverage of:
- New York Liberty (WNBA): Game threads, player analysis, and championship pursuits.
- Gotham FC (NWSL): Deep dives into the “Bats” and the professional soccer scene.
- USWNT: National team updates and international impact.
- Community & Culture: The stories of the women who are redefining the New York sports landscape.
Two Sites. One DNA.
The Local W isn’t a subsection—it’s a spin-off. It’s a dedicated, all-in digital home for the fans who live and breathe New York women’s sports. We’ve drafted specialists to cover these athletes with the same intensity and film-room detail that Nets fans have come to expect from us.
Whether it’s on the court or the pitch, we’re now covering every angle of the city we love.
