WNBA prepares for charter flight takeoff and a USTA WTF

Hey there!

Content warning: Today’s episode contains mention of sexual assault.

Today’s episode of The GIST of It starts out with nothing but net, as co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss a plethora of league-altering WNBA news, most notably the announcement that charter flights could be implemented for all teams as soon as this season.

Part 2 sadly brings a WTF, after a federal jury ordered the USTA — tennis’ governing body — to pay a $9M settlement to a player who alleges the organization failed to protect her from being sexually assaulted by a coach. Just awful.

Thank you to Aflac for powering today’s episode! Just like The GIST tackles the gap in women’s sports coverage, Aflac closes the gap that health insurance leaves behind. Learn more at aflac.com/thegist.
