No more drafts in the NWSL! Diving into a new, historic CBA + MLS transfer window changes
Ep. 167
•
It's a new era in the NWSL: the draft is no more. On this episode, Joe Lowery dives into NWSL and NWSL Players Association's historic new collective bargaining agreement. What changes were made? And how will they impact the future of the league (and of the women's game)? Then, it's full steam ahead into a discussion of the transfer window dates here in the U.S. for the men's game. Should they be tweaked to give teams a better chance to compete for high-level players from abroad? All that -- and more -- on the show.
