Behind the boom in U.S. women's pro soccer

This Saturday, the two best teams in the National Women’s Soccer League face off in the championship. The NWSL is booming after years of scandal and struggle. Today on this special episode of "Post Reports," how the league became so successful and what it shows about the potential for women’s sports.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to tune in this weekend for the big game: the championship match between the Washington Spirit and the Orlando Pride. Guest host and sports writer Ava Wallace speaks with soccer reporter Steve Goff and sports editor Ella Brockway about how the NWSL emerged from years of scandal and underinvestment.  Today’s show was produced by Bishop Sand with help from Lucas Trevor.

It was a blockbuster day at the track on Thursday, and it was supposed to begin with Noah Lyles being anointed with his second gold medal – this time in his signature event, the men’s 200 meters.

Crying at the race walk

Snoop Dogg, Flavor Flav, pins: The Paris Games are a bounty of cultural weirdness. And for people attending the Games in person, you can add to the list “hospitality houses” – party houses where people can pay a fee to watch sporting events with their countrymen [https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2024/08/06/olympics-paris-party-house-hospitality-2024/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-sports-moment].

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
