Women’s soccer legend and Bay FC co-founder Brandi Chastain joined Sarah as part of the iHeart Women’s Sports Strong Start event at the NWSL Championship. Brandi discusses the history of women’s soccer in the Bay Area, the challenges of launching a new NWSL team, her interest in coaching at the national team level, and the time she signed a car. Plus, draftees react in every which way, the lottery gods give hoops and gay shit fans a thrilling possibility, and we stan bat fans booing a lame duck.
