We are once again asking the NWSL to protect its players. In today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen and Steph discuss Houston Dash head coach and general manager James Clarkson’s suspension based on the recommendation of the NWSL and NWSL Players Association's joint investigation.
We also want to note that today’s podcast includes mention of allegations of sexual harassment, so if you need to pass on today’s episode, we’ll see you next week.
Special thanks to our friends at American Giant for sponsoring today’s pod! There’s nothing better than listening to a podcast in your favorite hoodie, and American Giant’s collection is durable and comfortable. And they’re giving GISTers a special deal: 20% off your first order with code THEGIST. Happy shopping. 
And a shoutout to our friends at Canadian Tire for their sponsorship, too! Canadian Tire’s “Keep Her In Play” program benefits their Jumpstart Charities’ Girls in Sport initiative and their raising funds through a special auction including items from The Tragically Hip and Canada’s favorite athletes. Christine Sinclair collectibles? Say less. Learn more about how Canadian Tire is keeping girls in sports here.
