Sandra Herrera and Lisa Roman welcome Chicago Red Stars forward and NWSL PA representative Kealia Watt and Executive Director of the NWSL Players Association Meghann Burke to the show. They discuss what the PA does, Kealia's role as a player rep and the turmoil that has kept the NWSL in the news the last few weeks. Kealia speaks out about the players' decision to demonstrate at the 6-minute mark of games. Meghann gives an inside look at the demands the PA set forth to the NWSL, why the league meeting these demands is so important and how the players want to see the league restructured.
