The NWSL & the USWNT's generational shift and goodbye Chicago Red Stars
Description
Change is upon us. In the NWSL and on the U.S. women's national team.
This week, on the Full Time podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan delve into what this means both on and off the pitch. Who will step into the spotlight? Who will be the new culture bearer? Who has that dawg in them?
What should fans be looking out for as Emma Hayes utilizes an experimental roster during the October international friendlies?
A new generation is taking over as legends take one final bow and retire. Now over a decade old, the NWSL is the first U.S. women's soccer league to reach this natural point in a cycle.
There's also the matter of the Chicago Red Stars' rebrand, featuring a new crest and name: Chicago Stars FC. Steph Yang joins the podcast fresh from speaking to club executives about the intentional decisions that went behind the controversial move.
Then, Chicago native and CBS Sports writer and broadcaster Sandra Herrera pops in to share her perspective from the Windy City.
