Summary: Phil and Anto are joined by Temryss Lane of Fox Soccer Channel to have a discussion about the recent failure of the WPS and what some of the biggest contributing factors were that went into its demise. We also try to get underneath how a new generation has yet to come to grips with the sport and its trajectory in terms of how sport and athletes are marketed in tandem with a new connected world has put leagues for women abroad in better stead given that club culture and youth development is of a standard where the game is now growing exponentially. Some of this uniquely American as well given that women will go to a professional game for men but do not seem to carry over into sports played by women. Even more importantly, Temryss is also a new ambassador for a key initiative with Nike N7 that will target Native American and First Nation communities in the United States and Canada which includes Sam Bradford of the Rams and Jacoby Ellsbury of the Red Sox in an attempt to empower these communities through activity and competition. Temryss gives us some insight into her community and what some of the challenges are for native cultures in North America and the goals and objectives will be for the groundbreaking initiative.
