Celebrating the Women's Soccer World Cup Win
New York is hosting the ticker-tape parade for the U.S. Women's Soccer team to celebrate their World Cup victory. We are joining the celebration with Lindsay Gibbs, Sports Reporter at ThinkProgress and co-host of Burn It All Down podcast and Isabel Angell, associate producer of WNYC's The Takeaway. Then, WNYC's health reporter and associate producer, Gwynne Hogan talks to us live from the parade. Plus, the ceremony at City Hall.
@BrianLehrer The USWNT generated more revenue than the men's team since 2016 though.
