Summary

We kick off this week’s episode with news from the WNBA, including an officiating upset during the Liberty v Fever game, Nneka Ogwumike leading the Storm to a big win over the Aces, and Caitlin Clark’s quad injury… Dr. Rapinoe diagnoses how long she might be out. In soccer news, Gotham FC won the CONCACAF (that’s the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) and Arsenal won the Champions League. Megan helps Sue make sense of all the leagues in soccer. It’s a lot! And if there’s any doubt that everyone watches women’s sports, we take a look at the latest, eyepopping valuation of the New York Liberty. We wrap it up with a new Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue? This one has to do with how you celebrate a win. Check out Sue’s deep-dive interview with the Aces’ Jewell Loyd on Bird’s Eye View.
