Summary

This week, the whole gang's together again! After talking about the turbulent week that was in women’s college basketball, [6:48] Amira, Lindsay, Brenda, Shireen, and Jessica turn to the IOC’s latest move to squelch political protest at the Olympics. [27:01] Then Lindsay sits down with Sky Blue FC’s General Manager, Alyse LaHue, and they talk about how LaHue’s turned around the franchise’s fortunes, what her week looks like headed into the NWSL draft, and what she learned during her year working at the WNBA. [44:30] The gang then goes over all the big NWSL news from the past week or so.
