We’ve hit episode 50 of Full Time with Meg Linehan, and we’re celebrating with an extra-jammed pack episode. First, Sandra Herrera of CBS Sports hops on to catch up on the USWNT Send-Off Series, the NWSL and her new podcast with CBS and co-host Lisa Roman, Attacking Third. Then Adam Crafton of The Athletic joins and we get a bit outside the women’s game to discuss what’s been happening at Euro 2020 when it comes to rainbow armbands, stadiums lit up across Germany, and how governing bodies are addressing homophobia.

Caiti Donovan, VP of data and insights with Sports Innovation Lab, joins Full Time to walk us through a new report designed to unlock the business case for women’s sports. Driven by fan data, we discuss the changing profile of fandom, quality over quantity of fan engagement and why fan behaviors are more important than fan demographics when trying to grow the game.
