We went viral (and now the internet hates us), Maya Joint stunned Serena Williams, and has Rory McIlroy lost the plot?
About this episode
The episode discusses the viral impact of Caitlin Clark's popularity, the challenges female athletes face, and Serena Williams' recent performance.
We didn't know that a simple stat about Caitlin Clark, a rookie basketballer in the WNBA who outsold LeBron on jersey sales, would cause such madness on the Two Good Sports Insta page. Caitlin has become one of the most talked-about names in sport. Her meteoric rise in just 2 years, manufactured drama and a rivalry with Angel Reese - we debate it all and discuss why she’s such a polarising figure, what her status says about the state of women’s sport, and why fans can’t seem to handle her competing with (and beating) men. Also why was she left off the 30th anniversary poster? Plus, Serena Williams’ Wimbledon return doesn't go to plan (but joy for our own Maya Joint), and a proper conversation on why female athletes are still being held to completely different standards.
