Summary

This week, Sue explains her new job as the Managing Director of USA Basketball, and we get some early 2028 Olympic predictions. Then we check in with the NWSL and the WNBA, including reports of a Connecticut Sun sale and a tiny history of getting dunked on in the W in light of Dominique Malonga’s arrival in Seattle. We’re sending Angel City’s Savy King our best after her in-game collapse, and we weigh in on whether the game should have continued. We are also excited to talk about all the beauty brands entering women’s sports, especially Rihanna’s Fenty partnering with the NY Liberty. Our only question: what took beauty brands so long? Before we wrap, we have a fresh new Bicker we want to get your thoughts on. It involves ice cream – again. Also, Sue’s new podcast, Bird’s Eye View is launching this week!
