Summary

On this week’s show, Amira, Lindsay, and Jessica get things started by talking about the US Open. [6:17] Then we mix it up a bit. Listen back to a segment from Episode 25 (October 2017). In it, Lindsay, Shireen, Brenda, and Jessica discussed the racial abuse former English national soccer player Eniola Aluko faced from her former coach, the lack of support from other players, and the problems with racism within the English FA generally. [16:11] Then Shireen interviews Aluko, now a Juventus FC superstar, Guardian columnist, and author of the forthcoming book They Don't Teach This. The book is out Thursday, August 29. Shireen and Eni chat about Aluko’s writing journey and she shares some of the incredible lessons she has learned. [34:12] Finally, Amira, Lindsay, and Jessica talk American football because somehow we are already in late August this year and football season is upon us. [57:38] Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, [1:06:08] our Bad Ass Woman of the Week, starring National Pro Fastpitch’s USSSA Pride, [1:08:48] and what is good in our worlds.
