Ep 79: The WNBA players opt out of their CBA, the NFL Players Coalition, and fight doctor Linda Dahl
On this week’s show, all 5 co-hosts are back together again. After celebrating the reception Red Sox manager Alex Cora received in Puerto Rico (5:31), Amira, Brenda, Shireen, Lindsay, and Jessica talk about the WNBA players deciding to opt out of their collective bargaining agreement with the league (19:32). Then the gang discusses the NFL Players Coalition, Eric Reid, Malcolm Jenkins, and the messiness of organizing (31:22). And Shireen interviews Dr. Linda Dahl, one of the few women to serve as a ringside doctor for the New York Athletic Commission, about her punchy new book "Tooth and Nail: The Making of a Female Fight Doctor" (45:23). Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile (59:05), our Bad Ass Woman of the Week, starring Alexa Moreno (1:02:07), and what is good in our worlds (1:07:55).
