1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're taking

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: one last ride on our favorite baby horse before she

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: gallops off into the sunset. On today's show, we got

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: a whole lot of news to catch you up on,

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: plus your dream female football players, ai in sports balls, elephants,

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: and a legend announces she's hanging them up. It's all

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: coming up right after this welcome back. Here's what you

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: need to know today in soccer news. It's the end

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: of an era. US soccer legend Alex Morgan announced her

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: retirement from professional soccer yesterday. Her final game will be

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: this Sunday, when the San Diego Wave hosts the North

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Carolina Courage at Snapdragon Stadium. The club also plans to

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: celebrate her career during its final home match of the

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: season on Sunday, November three. Why not play the rest

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: of the season? Why finish playing on Sunday?

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: Well.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: In her video, Alex Morgan also announced she's pregnant with

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: her second child. Congratulations to her, and here's a little

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: bit of the heartbelt video that she posted.

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: I have so much clarity about this decision, and I

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: am so happy to be able to finally tell you

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: it has been a long time coming, and this decision

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: wasn't easy, But at the beginning of twenty twenty four,

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: I felt in my heart and soul that this was

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: the last season that I would play soccer.

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: The impact we have on the next generation is irreversible.

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: And I'm proud in the hand I had in making

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: that happen, in pushing the game forward and leaving it

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: in a place I'm so happy and proud of.

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: The thirty five year old is going to go down

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: as one of the best to ever do it. She's

32
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: a two time World Cup, cham Bean and Olympic gold medalist.

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: She ranks fifth in US women's national team history with

34
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty three goals and ninth in caps with

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty four. In addition to her incredible

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: resume of awards and honors and all the things she's

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: done on the field, her legacy is also built upon

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the work she did for player safety and gender equity.

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: In March of twenty twenty one, she helped organize over

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty NWSL players to demand that the

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: league create an anti harassment policy and implement other specific

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: player safety guidelines that ultimately helped spark the NWSL's reckoning

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: and led to the removal of multiple abusive coaches. Morgan

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: also helped lead the US team's fight for equal pay.

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, she was one of five players whose

46
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: name was included on an equal employment opportunity complaint against

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: US Soccer, which sparked the eventual lawsuit in twenty nineteen

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: over unequal pay. Morgan has been one of the big

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: faces of soccer in this country and a massive part

50
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: of the push for relevance, for excitement from fans, for attendance,

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: for viewership, and she will be dearly missed. More footy news.

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, France Football magazine announced the footballers nominated for

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four Women's Balon d'Or, an annual award

54
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: presented to the world's best player. It's also the most

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: hilariously mispronounced award in all of soccer, with even the

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: greats like Meghan Rappino constantly calling it the Balon Dior

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: get your head out of the fashion world pinot door,

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: as in of gold Ball of gold Ballon d'Or anyway.

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: Five members of the gold medal winning US women's national

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: team are nominated for the Award. Captain and midfielder Lindsay Horan,

61
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: goalkeeper Lissenair, and forwards Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith and Mallory

62
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Swanson all well deserved, But there is one notable emission

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: that's getting a lot of buzz. Naomi Germa. US women's

64
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: national team coach Emma Hayes said Germa is the best

65
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: defender she's ever seen. Longtime US women's national team captain

66
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Becky Souerbrun came on this very show and said, quote,

67
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: when I think of Nay, I think of dominance end quote.

68
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: The newly nicknamed Secretary of Defense not making the cut

69
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: feels like latant defensive player disrespect and it's not uncommon

70
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: for the ballandor off to cues of prioritizing European players

71
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: and offensive players. Of the thirty twenty twenty four nominees,

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: only seven play for clubs outside of Europe, and only

73
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: four defenders plus keeper Nayer made the cut. England's Lucy

74
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: Brons is the only defender to make the top three

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: in the award's five year history. Also, can we get

76
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: some new photos for the ladies. We'll put a link

77
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: in the show notes, but if you haven't seen them.

78
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: You got to see the absolutely inexplicable shots used for

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: their nomination announcements. Mal looks like she smelled bad cheese,

80
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Trinity looks like she's about to fight somebody. And Brazil's

81
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Gabby Portillo is winning a white Man's overbyte dance off.

82
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: And if you don't get that reference, go watch when

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Harry met Sally. All right, we continue with the soccer news,

84
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: and we have some unfortunate news. Washington Spirit midfielder Croy Bethune,

85
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: who just yesterday was announced NWSL Rookie of the Month

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: for August, will miss the remainder of the season with

87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: a meniscus tear, and the manner in which she got

88
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: hurt is especially tough to swallow. The twenty three year

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: old sustained the injury throat going out the ceremonial first

90
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: pitch as the Washington Nationals honored the Spirits four Olympians

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: upon their return to DC. A total freak injury and

92
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: such a bummer. We're wishing Croy a speedy, thorough recovery.

93
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: She has such a bright future ahead of her and

94
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: she's still the front runner for NWSL Rookie of the Year,

95
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: even though she won't play the full season. She's been

96
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the Rookie of the Month for every month this season

97
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: except for July, the majority of which she spent with

98
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: the national team. Tonight, we got just one NWSL game

99
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: on deck Angel CITYFC in the Seattle Rain. Every game

100
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: an important one for ACFC from here on out because

101
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: the club's still sitting just outside of playoff contention in

102
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: the ninth spot. We got seven games on the NWSL

103
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: slate this weekend, and we'll link to that schedule in

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: our show notes. Also in soccer, a quick thought on

105
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: an NWSL announcement made by ESPN, The Worldwide Leader announced

106
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday that they'd be introducing NWSL game recaps yay

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: using generative AI technology. Oh listen, I've seen AI written

108
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: sports stories pop up all over the place lately, and

109
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: they're bad, really bad. Do you remember when gedet media

110
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: stopped using lead AI generated articles for high school sports

111
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: stories after the term close encounter of the athletic kind

112
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: became ubiquitous in the AI generated articles about close games.

113
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: That was last year, Like every close game, it said

114
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: the two teams had a close encounter of the athletic kind.

115
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: Hilarious and terrifying and terrible, and in the case of

116
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: women's sports stories in particular, I often see incorrect gender

117
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: when referring to athletes because AI is ultimately trained by

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: sports coverage that already exists, much of which makes men

119
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: the default. I reach out to someone at ESPN who

120
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: said humans will be checking the output and that it's

121
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: ultimately a positive move because game recaps that wouldn't otherwise

122
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: exist will be produced, and that's true, like NWSL recaps,

123
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: just game recaps, not long form, not opinion have not

124
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: been available on ESPN, So I'm excited about that and

125
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: tentatively hopeful that they will be better than the ones

126
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: we've seen so far. My real hope is that this

127
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: is just a baby step that ultimately leads to staffers

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: being hired to write those stories. I haven't seen AI

129
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: get it right yet, and we always want to see

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: more human people hired to work in women's sports. In

131
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: Paralympic headlines, Oksana Masters, who had the distinct honor of

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: carrying the Paralympic flame at the opening ceremony, won gold

133
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: and the H five cycling road race yesterday. This is

134
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: her seventh Paralympics, and Masters, who hails from Louisville, Kentucky,

135
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: has picked up two new gold medals. She also won

136
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: the paracycling H four to five individual time trial. She's

137
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: now an eight time gold medalist and an eighteen time

138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: medalists across four sports. In an interview after the road race,

139
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Masters was all smiles and made sure to shout out

140
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: her support system, saying quote, the ultimate gold medal is

141
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: hugging my mom because without her, I would not be

142
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: crossing this finish line. Meantime, legends Jessica Long and Tatiana

143
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: mc fat and have also added to their career metal halls.

144
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Long one gold in the S eight four hundred meter

145
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: freestyle on Wednesday, a full twenty years after she won

146
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: gold in that same event as a twelve year old

147
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: at the two thousand and four Athens Paralympics. Long's Paralympic

148
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: medal count is now up to an incredible thirty thirty medals. Wow,

149
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: is that a record, you ask? Surprisingly, not even close.

150
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: US Paralympic swimmer Trisha Zorn, who competed in seven Paralympics

151
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty to two thousand and four, won an

152
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: incredible fifty five medals, including forty one golds. She is

153
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: still the pardon the pun gold standard. Meanwhile, Tatiana McFadden

154
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: became the winningest American track and field athlete when she

155
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: won silver in the T fifty four one hundred meter

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,400

256
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: and I want to give you a warning here. What

257
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm about to discuss involves mentions of gender based violence

258
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: and death. You may have heard the horrific headlines this

259

Speaker 1: week about Ugandan marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegay, who competed in

260
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Paris last month at the Olympics, having been set on

261
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: fire by her boyfriend. On Thursday, we got the awful

262
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: update that she passed away from multi organ failure as

263
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: a result of the attack. Chep de Gay, who lived

264
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: in Kenya, had been in critical condition after suffering burns

265
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: on seventy five percent of her body following Sunday's attack

266
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: at her house. Rebecca's father, Joseph told reporters quote, I

267
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: blame her death on negligence by the government because the

268
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: authorities should have taken it seriously. When we first reported

269
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: that this man had become problematic and he was fighting her.

270
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: We reported to the police, to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations,

271
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: but they didn't take any action to save her life.

272
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: End quote. Chep de Gay is the third elite female

273
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: athlete to be killed in Kenya in the last three years,

274
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: in both confirmed and alleged acts of domestic violence. Amnesty

275
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: International Kenya made a statement that Chep Degay's death quote

276
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: highlights the urgent need to address femicide in the country

277
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: and demanded hashtag justice for Rebecca. Rebecca Chep Degay was

Speaker 1: thirty three. Welcome back, my little Orange Slices. It's been

310
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: how amazing going to a Liberty game is. People asking

311
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: are you going to be at the Libs game on Thursday.

312
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are in town for

313
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: the US Open, but it really is sort of the

314
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: social event of the calendar. It's something that people are

315
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: dying to get to. They're boasting a sixty four percent

316
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: attendance increase at home games this year. Between last year

317
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: and this year, season ticket holders have gone up one

318
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: hundred and six percent year over year. And there's this

319
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: so called solbrity get it, clebrity row of famous fans

320
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: and it's just the Barclay centers popping. It's really cool

321
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: to see and I can't wait too experience so shouts

322
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: to the limbs. We got to take another break when

323
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: we come back. Well, what the fact about some balls?

324
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, Welcome back, my little slices. It's time for

325
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: a What the fact US Open edition? Did you know

326
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: that until last year the US Open used different balls

327
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: for the women, or that there are even different kinds

328
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: of tennis balls? I sure didn't, But thanks to the

329
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: super bad ass Justine Brown of Together, who enlightened me

330
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: over honeyduces at the Open, I'm all caught up. So

331
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: here's the deal. For years, the men at the US

332
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: Open use what's known as an extra duty ball, which

333
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: means the felt on the outside of the ball is

334
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: woven slightly more loosely than the regular duty ball that

335
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: the women use, other than that they're the same size.

336
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: Wait all of that. Per a twenty twenty two New

337
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: York Times article, the regular duty balls the women use

338
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: play faster. Quote felt that's woven more tightly, doesn't fluff

339
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: up as much and can wear away, so there's not

340
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: as much friction when those balls make contact with the

341
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: ground or the strings of a racket. The additional friction

342
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: of a fluffy ball allows players to create maximum spin.

343
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Those who rely heavily on that spin could struggle to

344
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: make a regular duty ball travel the way they wanted to,

345
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: especially after a few games when the ball begins to

346
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: lose whatever fluff it had right out of the can

347
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: and get smaller end quote. So I guess that difference

348
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: was enough to rankle some players. In twenty twenty two,

349
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: world number one Egas Fontech called the balls that the

350
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: US Open horrible during a news conference questioning why the

351
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: tennis major required women and men to use different balls.

352
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: It was the only Grand Slam tournament not to use

353
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: the same balls for all players. Spontek pointed out that

354
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: she felt unable to prepare adequately because the US Open

355
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: balls weren't available at home in Europe, where she trained.

356
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: She and then number four Paula Badosa spoke to women

357
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: SENUS Association CEO and chairman Steve Simon in twenty twenty

358
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: one and asked if they could switch to use the

359
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: same balls as the men. Well, it turns out the

360
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: type of ball that they use was up to the

361
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: players themselves and their Women's Tennis Association Tour leadership. US

362
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Open Tournament director Stacy Allister told The Times that sports

363
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: science experts on the women's tour felt that the faster,

364
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: more aerodynamic ball helped limit arm and shoulder injuries, and

365
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: that the WTA always requested the regular duty balls, so

366
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: they just kept it that way. But after the complaints

367
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, the players in the WTA elected

368
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: to ditch the regular duty balls in favor of the

369
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: extra duty ones. So beginning last year, the men and

370
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: women have been handling the same balls all week long

371
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: at Flushing Meadows. Love to learn new things like that.

372
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: I just had no idea there were different tennis balls. Also,

373
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: one last tenis note we are thrilled to learn that

374
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: ESPN Films has greenlighted a Billy Jean King thirty for

375
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: thirty cannot come soon enough. We got some Slice submissions

376
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: to highlight after yesterday's Fight Me when we asked you

377
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: to pick the top four pro female athletes you'd like

378
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: to see play women's tackle football. First, the great Sam

379
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: Rappaport of the NFL, who we talked about on the show.

380
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: She came through with some good ones. Billy Jean King

381
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback, Angel Reese, Candace Parker, and Ri Kogumbawallee at

382
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: wide receiver Kelly O'Hara and sid Colson at dB and

383
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: she Carrie Richardson at Rusher. This is a just tremendous

384
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: O'Hara and Colson at DBE is inspired. We also heard

385
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: from at J Moore eleven twenty three, who said, how

386
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: can you leave Sidney McLaughlin Lavarroni off? Your team can

387
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: hurdle opposing tacklers and has the endurance to last all

388
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: four quarters. That is a great call. That is an

389
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: excellent call. Someone also chied at us for forgetting Asia Wilson, which,

390
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: to be fair, she could play every single position for sure.

391
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: We also got a great email from DP that reads,

392
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: in part the tight end everybody was looking for was

393
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: Candace Parker hands down Kelsey at quarterback obviously, and speaking

394
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: of Diana TARRASSI, how could we leave out Alyssa Thomas

395
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: on defense? Yeah, we'll probably get a load of penalties,

396
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: but it might force the other team to make business decisions.

397
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: Trinity Rodman has to play. I don't even care what position.

398
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: Any new nawse on gum like that will make a

399
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: great football player. The Secretary of Defense aka Naomi Germa

400
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: is obviously going to be the lockdown corner. Lastly, Shakerri

401
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: Richardson at wide receiver because I can only imagine the

402
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: celebrations if you put Kennedy Carter at running back. We

403
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: may break a record for penalty yards, but we will

404
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: be thoroughly entertaining while doing it. Damn D that's more

405
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: than four players. But I do think we'd win a

406
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with that squad. So I appreciate you, and

407
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate you writing in. We love that you're listening,

408
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: but we want you to get in the game every day,

409
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: just like D. So here's our good game play at

410
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: the day. Let us know which four pro athletes you

411
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: think would dominate women's tackle football. You can message me

422
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: but also sad depressing, a reminder that time waits for

423
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: no one. A tick tick tick talking of our own clocks,

424
