These week we move back to gender in sports (did you think we could go so long without it?). On the podcast Julie Angell, Alexa McCarthy and Bradley Allen discuss the wage gap in U.S. soccer and the larger implications within the sports world (tennis we’re looking at you). Zach Barnes gives his hot take on those rowdy Royals and his opinion may surprise you.
