0:00.0	Welcome to burn it all down. I'm playing with your babies to the screaming shout. Oh, yeah.
0:10.2	Welcome to Burn It All Down. It's the feminist sports podcast you need. I'm Brenda Elsie, and I get to host this very first, Burn it all down, best of 2021 of three.
0:24.3	There will be three of these as we take a little pause for the holidays and the end of the year
0:30.2	and think and reflect upon what's been a really difficult time for a whole lot of people.
0:36.4	We're also going to try to think through some of the things that we're excited for
0:40.8	in 2022 are resolutions that we have.

1:54.3	the game that we love by, if not condoning, certainly perpetuating the status quo of human rights abuses in all kinds of
2:04.9	places.
2:06.4	I still, however, I'm looking forward to Qatar in 2022.
2:11.3	It's a tournament that still takes place every four years.
2:14.7	There's going to be wonderful stories, beautiful stories, and I can't wait to actually
