Hamstrung by Paternal Systems with the WNBA & NWSL Players Associations

Erin Drake of the WNBA Players Association, and Meghann Burke and Tori Huster of the NWSL Players Association, join Sarah to discuss what collective bargaining negotiations look like behind the scenes, what the two PAs have learned from each other, and how systems need to change in order for investment in women’s sports to make it to the players that built the leagues. Plus leaking on yourself, and another retirement hot off the Press.
