CW/TW: Apologies for not noting this during the episode, but after USWNT chat we get into the racist and misogynistic abuse of Bunny Shaw, the dangers of the situation Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis were in, and Mapi Leon's inappropriate touching of Daniela Caracas. This section begins at 46:01.
Courtney & André react to what Emma Hayes is calling her first real callup after having seen a number of players up close. We discuss the pleasant surprises/additions, but also dive into key questions for all four position groups.
After, we discuss the racist and misogynistic abuse of Bunny Shaw, and why shouting 'There's no place for that!' isn't enough. Courtney also dissects the seriousness of the situation Sam Kerr was in. Then the two talk about the inherent transphobia in Mapi Leon's aggression towards Daniela Caracas, and who Leon's statement reminded us of (extremely derogatory).
Please subscribe, rate and review. We appreciate y'all.
