Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.1k ratings
  • like the athletic itself, they’ve just thrown up their hands rather than covering the NWSL

    Sakovitz specifically is essentially a tiktok personality acting like a reporter but is no more than a bad podcast host. No knowledge. No understanding. Just platitudes and social media taglines. It’s fallen so far and is rendered totally useless as of 2026.

    Given up on this. No idea of NWSL history - just slavishly repping the current favs even tho the league is renowned for its parity.

    Sakovitz specifically is essentially a tiktok personality acting like a reporter but is no more than a bad podcast host. No knowledge. No understanding. Just platitudes and social media taglines. Meg Linehan is the only one they have who does any reporting and that’s been less and less year on year. Why can’t they just take this seriously as a soccer podcast?
