The drama in women’s sports is REAL this week — and we’re breaking it all down.

From Angel Reese’s suspension and the chaos in Chicago, to Alyssa Thompson’s shocking move overseas, to the US Open final with Arena Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova, we have something to say about all of it. We talk WNBA playoffs, the mess in the NWSL, Cathy Engelbert cosigning our post (yes, the WNBA Commissioner!), and Abby Wambach joining the Dub Club. Plus, Sloane Stephens, Taylor Townsend, Liz Cambage fighting in the comments, and so much more.

👟 Topics we cover:

Angel Reese vs. Chicago Sky’s dysfunction 

Alyssa Thompson’s Chelsea transfer fallout

Arena Sabalenka & Amanda Anisimova’s US Open showdown

We just got back from the 2025 US Open — and we’re bringing you with us. From sitting courtside for Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez to watching Taylor Townsend light up Arthur Ashe after her feud with Ostapenko, we lived the full fan experience.

We share what it was like to see Naomi Osaka vs Coco Gauff in person, break down the biggest matches, and give our unfiltered reactions from the stands. Then we shift gears: the WNBA playoff picture is finally coming into focus — who’s surging, who’s in trouble, and which bubble team still has a chance. And in the NWSL, the league risks losing yet another superstar overseas.

👋 We’re Let Her Shoot — the podcast that covers women’s sports the way fans deserve. No kid gloves. No fluff. Just respect for athletes and the game.

A’ja or Phee: Who’s the REAL WNBA MVP?

his week on Let Her Shoot, we’re breaking down everything from the Euros final to the politics of USWNT retirement games — and then Joy Taylor pulls up for her first real conversation since leaving FOX Sports.

We talk about the fallout, the rumors, what actually happened behind the scenes, and how Joy’s navigating the noise. It’s honest, funny, and lowkey therapeutic.

Also in this episode:
⚽ Chloe Kelly praise + Spain vs England fallout
🏟️ USWNT send-off games — who gets one, who gets erased
🏀 Paige Bueckers load management drama
🎤 Joy Taylor on FOX, the future, and staying grounded when the internet gets loud

Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Very necessary.

Paige Nielsen pulls up to Let Her Shoot just in time for the Women’s Euros Final, and she’s got thoughts. On England’s shaky run, Spain’s technical flex, Sarina Wiegman’s sub choices, and why Chloe Kelly is that girl.

We talk queer visibility in soccer, LGBTQ backlash across Europe, the rainbow armband controversy, and Paige’s own global coming out journey — from Seoul to Qatar and back. Plus: NWSL locker room vibes, being traded for cash (??), sneaky beef, and whether drama is actually good for the women’s game.

Come for the Euros chaos. Stay for the cultural commentary and the gay speakeasies in the Middle East.

🎙️ Featuring: Paige Nielsen (Houston Dash, NWSL Champ)

💥 What really happened at Azzi’s party
👕 Why the CBA protest mattered — and what the players want
