NWSL Players Association president Tori Huster and executive director Meghann Burke join Sarah to talk about the landmark collective bargaining agreement and the “free agency” frenzy that will get underway next week. Plus, the tears flow over jersey retirements (Megan Rapinoe and Maya Moore-Irons in the same weekend?! Why?!) and a lesson on Hall of Fame induction.
