EMERGENCY POD: The NWSL's Historic New Labor Agreement

The NWSL Players Association has just signed a new collective bargaining agreement, which may be one of the most historically significant labor deals in American sports history. The elimination of the draft, universal guaranteed contracts and free agency, player consent for trades, and massive increases in minimum salaries without corresponding max salaries all give serious power to the players.

Eric and Evan unpack what we know so far about this seismic moment in women’s sports labor.
