A Word: Golden Lady Ballers
More people are watching women\u2019s sports than ever before, and the U.S. has high hopes for the Women\u2019s World Cup. Still, there\u2019s a lag in media coverage and resources for women athletes, particularly women of color. On today\u2019s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by Subria Whitaker, the chief of the non-profit organization Grow the Game. They discuss why the growth of women\u2019s sports still isn\u2019t matched by media coverage and economic resources, and how that impacts audiences and athletes of color.\n\nGuest: Subria Whitaker, founder and executive director of the non-profit, Grow the Game\xa0\n\nPodcast production by Ahyiana Angel\n\nYou can skip all the ads in A Word by joining Slate Plus.
