FYS16 #23: Monica Esenwein on Spirit, playoffs, and National Anthem

The second episode this week features Monica Esenwein from Backline Soccer. Monica and I have been sharing a media table at Spirit home games all season and have gotten to know each other pretty well during that period. Her colleagues at Backline Soccer have been very kind to have me on their programming and I thought it was only fitting to have her on mine. The first half of this episode is about the win on Wednesday night against the Reign, the potential playoff match-up, and how we feel about the Spirit overall. The second half addresses the national anthem controversy from the same game. I served in the military and Monica comes from a military family, so we both had plenty to say about the situation.  If you're not ineterested in more national anthem banter, don't worry, the first 25 minutes is all about the Spirit. Please, take the time to listen to that, because that's what is most important right now. Follow our guest on Twitter @Monz59
