Welcome to Episode 117  of Shea Butter FC, a podcast by, for and about Black women in soccer. In this episode, Skye and Sylvs are joined by Deacon Skyscraper aka André Carlisle and Lady Statue of Liberty aka Coach Courtney Stith of Diaspora United for the Part Two of the cross over to talk about the beginning of the SheBelieves Tournament, reflect on Emma Hayes tenure so far and delve into how her approach to changing the culture of US Soccer will have to include anti- racism work. Then we briefly review the upcoming NWSL season, and give their Hits and Riffs/Food Takes in a special edition of our segments in celebration of Black History Year. Come Vibe! As noted in this episode we are dropping  merchandise celebrating HBCUs for Black History Year:  “Elevate, Celebrate, Educate. These are three words that get to the heart of why Shea Butter FC was created. We elevate and celebrate Black women in the game through education and community building. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have lived these principles in support of Black people in America since Reconstruction. It felt right to throw our support behind these institutions that elevate Black intelligence and talent, celebrate our many accomplishments and leaders, and educate Black people in a country that continues to fight against it. Furthermore, HBCUs have men's and women's soccer programs that are rarely amplified, despite their success. We want to change that. You can join the movement to Elevate HBCU Soccer with this merch. Tell your family, tell your friends, and support your favorite HBCU by choosing from our many color combinations. HBCUs and young Black people need us now more than ever!

So, um, you may have heard that Naomi Girma has gone to Chelsea. You may also have heard that across Diaspora United and Shea Butter FC there are three separate Chelsea fans. SO OF COURSE WE SHOUTED ABOUT IT! We discuss how impactful it is that a Black woman, first generation American center back was the first million dollar transfer in woso. We also talk about why she may have left San Diego, how good she is (and can become), and how she fits at Chelsea. Then we step back to dissect the 'NWSL Exodus' panic, chat Chelsea v. Arsenal, the WSL title race (or, maybe, race for 2nd), UWCL updates, and the mighty Frauen Bundesliga. Please subscribe, rate and review.

The United States Women's National Team are back in action this weekend against South Korea, and it's the official beginning of the Emma Hayes era. Diaspora United's André Carlisle joins on Episode 134 to give us a glimpse into the possible future of the USWNT! Before André joins, we run through the roster and note some of the changes from the April team that won the SheBelieves Cup. There are a few new faces in camp as the USWNT prepares for two matches against South Korea. We discuss some of the new additions as well as some returning players to the national team. After the break, André is here to discuss Emma Hayes. From her ruthless, relentless philosophy to how she utilizes different tactics for various opponents, Carlisle breaks down some of the changes we can expect to see implemented by Hayes and how this team will line up against the rest of the world. Will change come slowly or quickly? Either way, it's clear that the expectation for Hayes is to return the USWNT to the top of the world rankings and be dominant, but a lot has to change and improve to make that possible.

Courtney & André had a LOT to talk about so get comfy and ride with us. NWSL trade chaos has already started so we run through recent trades, including one that dropped mid-recording. We then talk Ballon d'Or, PRO's refusal to properly recognize, categorize or train NWSL referees (and what they're doing about it), plus spotlight some recent international fixtures. #DiacreOut After the break we do a deep dive into the USWNT's two matches in Australia. We get into Lynn and Midge ballin out, Emily Fox and Sofia Huerta locking down left and right back, Alana Cook puttin people in her pocket, the problem with Lindsey Horan, and we beg Vlatko to chill with this 541 thing he's obsessed with. Whew, think we'd be done right? NOPE! Then we roll into our inaugural Diaspora United 2021 NWSL Awards in which we crown our most stylish player, most disrespectful player, comeback player, goal of the year, rookie, defender and attacker of the year, and of course the real MVP. After all that we move to Heated & Hyped where we're both still fuming about Brazil's weak ass farewell to Formiga, who deserved so much more and much much better.

YOU NAME IT" (SBFC x DU Crossover , Pt2) , we enter the SBFC Sanctuary to discuss the fallout of the investigative report on Rory Dames by Molly Hensley-Clancy, that highlighted multiple complaints of misconduct of Dames from many Red Stars players past and present including Christen Press, Jen Hoy and Sam Johnson, and as a result we also call out the US Soccer Federation and Jill Ellis. We explore the Angel City FC and San Diego Wave FC contributions to “Get Ya Fit Right” in the form of Kits and Promos. We give our collective thoughts on the NWSL End of Season Awards results and then analyze the SBFC Holiday Meal Best XI. We close it all out with the Turn Ups and Quiet Storms providing everyone with their good musical vibes of Yesterday and Today for this week's edition Hits and Rifts!

Welcome back to Soccer Over Gotham! Hosts: Ruby and Gary Interview: Courtney Stith of Diaspora United podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/diaspora-united/id1549424536 On the episode: Gothams 1-1 Draw in KC League News Preview of first Louisville game.

The international break is over but it left plenty for Courtney & André to #discuss. We start off with a quick review of some key scores and goalscorers from the international break, including France dominating then struggling, Marta doing a(nother) madness, plus the Aisha Buhari Cup and more. Then we talk about the USWNT's two matches versus Paraguay and attempt to answer the question that seems to vex many a U.S. soccer fan: Is Catarina Macario good? We investigate! We also talk about the slew of bad takes that follow every big win by the USWNT, Casey Krueger being amazing, Crystal Dunn being disrespected (again), Sophia Smith being incredible, and Mal Pugh back and ballin out! After that we do some quick hits on the potential chaos of Kansas City's draft exemption becoming a tradable asset and FIFA22 getting it all the way wrong with their Top-22 rankings. Then we hop into things that really got us heated, from geoblocking to the foolish idea of a biannual World Cup that refuses to die. But we end on a high note and talk about things that have us hyped (shoutout to the WNBA!). Please listen, subscribe, rate and review! Follow us: Twitter - @DiasporaUtdPod Instagram - diasporautdpod
