Copa Masterpiece Theater, NWSL Stuff, & World Athletics Being Dumb (Again) [w/ Reo Eveleth]

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on women's soccer, including the Copa América Femenina and NWSL updates, alongside a critique of World Athletics' decision to restart sex testing.

The plan was to have Reo, host, journalist and producer of Tested Podcast , on to just chat about some soccer. They're a massive women's soccer fan and the idea was to just yap about soccer instead of the deeply heavy stuff they usually get called on to discuss — and then World Athletics did something stupid. Ugh. But before we get into that, Reo & André relive the absolute cinema that was the Gran Final of the Copa América Femenina. We discuss bad decisions, then suddenly great decisions, and all the drama and bangers along the way. Then we dive into NWSL stuff. We discuss Trinity Rodman's triumphant return, what might be wrong with Angel City and Bay FC, Ally Sentnor's trade to Kansas City, and North Carolina's frustrating fumbling of a press conference they scheduled. After, we get into World Athletics' new decision to restart sex testing. Reo takes us through the history, the premise and guise used to continue to bring these tests back up, what they are and the flawed science around them, and what we can do to help push back against this alarming trend across women's sports. Please subscribe, rate and review. We appreciate y'all! ============= Support Reo's Work Tested…
