Cobi talks to the guys about his VP platform, including reimagining the US Open Cup, how to better connect with underserved communities and how to reach an even wider audience. The guys spend a lot of time talking about the systemic racism that is in the game and beyond. Finally, Cobi shares stories from his playing days and some advice for Mark McKenzie as he begins his career abroad.
