About this episode

André interviews Meghann Burke about the recent CBA agreement in the NWSL and its implications for players.

In this episode André is delighted to be joined by Executive Director of the NWSLPA, Meghann Burke! You may have heard, the NWSL & NWSLPA agreed to yet another CBA (though the full text wasn't released until recently). This agreement builds on the previous agreement from 2022 to include revenue sharing, minimum salaries, a cap floor, guaranteed contracts, no trades without consent, the abolishment of all drafts, and even more. It's a historic, and hard fought for agreement, so we get into the details, what it means to the players, how it came about, the big brained players at the table, plus a brilliant story about Brianna Pinto.
