Summary

This, week, Lindsay, Amira, and Brenda open up the show by talking about how the coronavirus is impacting their own lives. Then, they discuss the dramatic events last week when coronavirus canceled sports, and question what's next. (7:49). Shireen chats with Talia Kaufman, programs director, and Zainab Hussaini, general manager, about Skateistan an award-winning organization that got its start in Afghanistan, and uses skateboarding as a tool to empower kids, keep girls in school, and amplify the sport globally. (25:56) Then, Lindsay, Amira, and Brenda talk about an eventful week in the ongoing equal pay dispute between U.S. Soccer and the USWNT, that started with horrifically sexist court filings, peaked on Wednesday with sponsors speaking out and the players protesting, and ended with Carlos Cordeiro resigning.
