Join us as we dissect the implications of the recent incident involving the Spanish soccer president and analyze an overarching theme that has recurred yet again in women's sports.. This episode uncovers the shift in fandom focus from the sport to the exposed social issues, exploring the net effect on audiences worldwide.
