Summary

This week the gang’s all here and on fire. We ponder the possibility of a Laila Ali/Clarissa Shields fight before a deep dive into cheating. Then we move on to think through the differences of the financial fair play violations of Manchester City versus the MLB sign stealing. [11:35] Brenda sits down with Bailey Brown, the president of the Independent Supporters Council of North America to talk about the new fan code of conduct for MLS following the Iron Front Flag turmoil, what it means to be a soccer (fútbol) supporter in North America, and her experience as the only woman to head a national or international supporters group. [30:25] Finally, our long anticipated this conversation on the Netflix docuseries Cheer! [51:23] Of course you’ll hear the Burn Pile [1:15:03], our Bad Ass Woman of the Week [1:29:47] and what is good in our worlds.
