Zena and Sabreena take stock of a historic WNBA weekend, including A’ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, and Kelsey Plum all reaching individual milestones while the Golden State Valkyries set a record for the most wins by an expansion team. They also get into the latest injury news out of Indiana. Then, senior investigative writer Carson Kessler joins Zena and Sabreena to discuss The Athletic’s latest investigative series on stalking in sports. Carson explains how this project came to be and the trio explore a variety of topics including: the frequency of stalkers and why those numbers might be underreported, what stalking looks like in the digital age, and how colleges and leagues can protect their athletes going forward. Finally, Zena and Sabreena debut “Explain the Game”, where they answer a listener question about how something in the WNBA works. _________________References:‘I’m sitting behind the bench’: Inside sports’ escalating stalking problem by Carson KesslerWNBA power rankings: Golden State Valkyries aiming to make history by Sabreena Merchant _________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________Get in touch!
