    U.S. soccer star Tobin Heath saw a gap in how women’s sports were covered, specifically in how both leagues and media companies generally followed the same blueprint as men’s sports. She joins the show to discuss the state of soccer as Copa América and the Euros heat up, the NWSL’s growing pains, and how women’s sports brings in new communities.
