S4 Ep135: Thanksgiving Roast w/ Kaiya McCollough
On this Thanksgiving Episode of FTCUTD, Greggo and Skye are joined by Cultureverse member Kaiya McCollough, having linked up over the weekend in Louvegas, we recap our trip covering the NWSL Championship between Chicago Red Stars and the Washington Spirit, which saw Washington grab their first NWSL title off the maestro performance from Trinity Rodman. We go thru our experiences in the city, meeting colleagues we've come in contact with on social media, and the vibes felt thru the weekend.
But good things don't last long, as news broke late Sunday night that Chicago Head Coach Rory Dames resigned, shortly before a major story broke that Dames was the subject of multiple complaints by several players, including USWNT star (and former CRS player) Christen Press, in which also involve dismissed complaints that went up to the US Soccer Federation office. We discuss that and how the relationship between the NWSL and US Soccer hierarchy (namely former WNT head coach Jill Ellis) fostered an environment that retaliated against those who supported pro-Black agendas. As the league goes into an offseason of uncertainty, we give our exasperated thoughts on what comes next for the league (also be sure to catch a special Shea Butter FC/Diaspora United 2-part pod that goes into this in much deeper detail).
In the 2nd half of the show, Kaiya subs out for Gameday Ty, where we go into the first round of the MLS Playoffs, which saw the Home Team go out in a whimper to NYCFC and our frustration with teams playing in Yankee Stadium, and perennial power Seattle go out in a shock shootout loss to Real Salt Lake, and we give our picks on the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Wrapping up the topics we go into the inevitable dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer at Manchester United following another embarrassing loss, and the potential of Mauricio Pochettino dipping out on PSG to take the United job.
In 2UP/2Down we go into car purchases, Thanksgiving greens, and MORE!!
