Summary
Tobin and Christen are joined by English International star, former Manchester United captain and current midfielder for Angel City FC Katie Zelem. In this episode they discuss what it’s like to be Christen’s best friend on the team. The nonstop conversations, the endless jokes and the joy of getting to play on two different teams together. Then, they play a game called “NWSL or WSL” where Katie is asked to say which league does certain things better. Who provides better pregame and postgame meals? Whose fans are louder? Which league has better business opportunities off the field? And so much more. Then, with the NWSL season kicking off, Tobin and Christen have an important discussion on how fan viewership, and viewership numbers, are a huge factor in the success of the league and in women’s sports everywhere. Plus, a new round of Red Card, Yellow Card, Goal and Community Questions!
