Description
What's good!? We're back with yet another fresh episode for your earholes!
First, Courtney & André do a quick review of some international woso news, including Marta and Formiga going to their fifth(!!) and SEVENTH(!!!) Olympics respectively. Then we dive into the past weekend of NWSL matches to kickstart the #StartIFY campaign, bask in Crystal Dunn's amazingness, ponder what one thing KC seems to be missing, LOSE OUR MINDS OVER EBONY SALMON'S DEBUT GOAL, and shoutout baby goat Trinity Rodman's first NWSL regular season goal!
Then we move onto the Courage-Reign match to discuss Lynn Williams becoming the NWSL's all-time assists leader and Jessica McDonald scoring. After, we talk about the calamity of broadcasting a Black child that was supposed to be McDonald's son but wasn't, what that means, who's at fault, who should apologize (and to whom), plus the absence of public accountability measures to help us trust that it won't happen again. This error being made on Juneteenth led us to the Houston Dash, who missed a significant opportunity given that Houston is less than an hour away from Galveston, Texas, where Juneteenth originated.
