Episode notes

This is Love takes a very broad view of love, sharing stories not just about romance. Listen for stories about love and all of the surprising forms it can take. Today we talk with Steph Young from The Athletic talking about the pattern of abuse and women's soccer in the United States. We are angry that it took over 200 people sharing their trauma to get to this point right now.

Allegations of misconduct have rocked US women’s soccer for the last year. The Athletic’s Steph Yang breaks down a new report on the degree to which league officials ignored complaints and protected abusers.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
