Episode 177 - The NWSL's Reckoning

Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres talk about the ongoing reckoning in women's soccer, specifically in the NWSL, in the wake of The Athletic's story of abuse by Paul Riley. Craig and Chris talk about what they've seen working inside the sport at all levels in both their training and media roles and why the one common theme seems to be people taking advantage of the athletes.

On a very different and much happier note, the guys talk about Craig's engagement and their celebration dinner the night after the big day.
