About this episode

This week, Chelsea is sitting down with soccer star and equal pay advocate Megan Rapinoe to look at women in sports – the progress we’ve made toward equality and what needs

to happen next.


Megan and Chelsea are talking on the heels of a major victory off the field —a settlement designed to bring equal pay to our US National Soccer Team women players after a years-long

fight led by Megan and her teammates.
