This is The Power Play — UNBothered’s solo special where OC breaks down the women’s sports headlines that move the needle. No interviews, no filters. Just the stories too big to wait.

In this episode, OC dives deep into:

• England’s WSL raising the bar with a salary floor and pro standards.
• The WNBA’s fight between lifestyle upgrades and the real power play — revenue splits.
• Dallas Wings risking Paige Bueckers’ generational talent and why trading Arike might be best for everyone.
• LA Sparks folding under pressure, Kelsey Plum’s late-game gambles, and the roster fixes that could make them title-ready.
• White shorts and the hidden performance tax female athletes pay.
• Taylor Townsend proving edge > etiquette at the U.S. Open.
• Caitlin Clark’s Nike logo missing the “generational” story that Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson logos nailed.
• The WNFC Combine in Miami: trainers, athletes, decision-makers, and why this is women’s football’s first real pipeline.

Plus Quick Hits on playoff chaos, Indiana’s new $78M facility, and more.
