Chelsea Green suffers a broken nose during her match against Zelina Vega for the United States Women's Championship. Jesse Ventura buries the finish of the Steel Cage Match between Damian Priest & Drew McIntyre. Speaking of Drew, he'll be taking some time off from WWE as he was reportedly banged up.

The Orlando Pride made it three wins in three attempts Saturday afternoon on a hot day at Inter&Co Stadium. While the opponents didn't offer up the usual own goal this week, the Pride needed both a Haley McCutcheon goal and a Marta penalty — taken a second time after hitting the post as Kailen Sheridan left her line early — to get the dub against the San Diego Wave this week. While it wasn't a crisp performance, it was another win, and you can't be too unhappy with wins. We break down the talking points from Orlando's win over the Wave, check back on our score predictions, and make our selections for Player of the Match.The international break is now upon us, and a couple of Pride players might face each other in this window when the United States Women's National Team faces Brazil.This week's mailbagbox wants to know about Haley McCutcheon's goal celebration music, players not named Emily Sams suiting up for the USWNT, an interesting hypothetical involving either Kerry Abello or Marta, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.With no Orlando Pride match to preview this week, the show ends after the mailbagbox, but it was a lengthy one, at least (both this episode, all things considered, and the mailbagbox segment itself). We'll be back next week to get you ready for the Pride's trip to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Reign.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 80 went down:0:15 – The Pride played better against San Diego than they did at Gotham, but it still wasn't as good as Orlando is capable of playing. We'll gladly take the win, though.25:46 – The mailbagbox has plenty of questions this week.

In this episode of The Great Debate Show, hosts Jarvis Jeffries and Terrance Smith dive into the review of WWE's Saturday Night Main Event, marking its return for the first time since 2008. The hosts dissect the predictability of the event, noting how it felt more like a house show with lots of lighting but little substance. The event featured five matches, including standout performances by Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, with a clean victory for McIntyre. They also discuss the historic crowning of Chelsea Green as the first-ever United States Women's Champion, highlighting her social media prowess and perseverance. The hosts express their disappointment with the main event between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, criticizing the overly predictable outcomes and lack of any exciting surprises, like the appearance of Randy Orton.

The Orlando Pride were off for the women's international break over the weekend, but that doesn't mean there wasn't stuff for us to discuss (and if there's one thing we love to discuss, it's definitely stuff!). Emily Sams saw her first minutes with the United States Women's National Team, and the Yanks unsurprisingly won. Barbra Banda finished 12th in the race for the Ballon d'Or, which seems low, but it's still quite an honor to be considered the 12th-best player in the world. And we looked at the Pride's Brazilians, who earned a draw and a win against Colombia, with Adriana scoring a goal for her country. Our mailbagbox this week asked us if we listened to "Hot to Go" and wanted to know about the Pride's attacking chemistry, a hypothetical Women's Club World Cup question, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show. After the mailbagbox, we looked ahead to Saturday's matchup against the Seattle Reign. The all-time series hasn't been kind to Orlando, but it's been better at home and the Reign were pretty good for most of the history of the series. We give our key matchups and make our score predictions while admitting that hey, we haven't necessarily had a lot of time to watch Seattle games since the Pride went to Washington back in May. Here's how Episode 67 went down: 0:15 – Emily Sams' USWNT debut, Pride Brazilians in international play, and Barbra Banda's place on the Ballon d'Or list. 9:16 – Our mailbagbox is full of great questions, as usual. 22:40 – Our look ahead to Saturday's regular-season finale against Seattle.

One road loss became two as the Pride turned in a disastrous performance against Gotham FC on Sunday. Seb Hines went back to his starters to get try to regain the team's momentum as the regular season winds down, but unfortunately, things went from bad to worse for the defense, which was substandard and reminiscent of some of the bad Orlando teams from the past. It was not the response Pride fans wanted to see after the team's first loss all season in Portland, but it is what it is. We break down the Pride's second straight loss. I don't even remember if we checked our score predictions from last week, because the weekend destroyed us, but we did make our selections for Player of the Match. Our mailbagbox this week asked us if Rafaelle will be healthy this season and if she'll get to start if she is. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp.

After the mailbagbox, we spent some time discussing recent Orlando Pride news, including Emily Sams getting a call-up to the United States Women's National Team, the Pride and Summer Yates exercising the midfielder's option year for 2026, and the date of Orlando's first-ever home playoff game. I misspoke about what day of the week it was, but I realized it and gave the right day, so please stop yelling at me. Or at least stop yelling at me about that. Here's how Episode 66 went down: 0:15 – The Pride have not yet regained their mojo. 15:10 – Our mailbagbox wants to know about Rafaelle. 23:17 – Miscellaneous Orlando Pride news to take us into the international break.

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.

S3E18 - For the Glory KC is back with the 83rd episode of the show!  Sporting Kansas City are now winless in five straight. Heading into the Real Salt Lake game, it never really felt like they were going to win, but they kept it close for a long time. There were six changes to the lineup, as well as four subs used. The offense wasn't clicking but John Pulskamp nearly came through with some hero ball. Sheena and I weigh in on that lineup choices, all the missing players for illness (Radoja) and injury (Rosero and Walter). Plus, is this the last we'll see of Marinos Tzionis? It felt like he was setup to fail playing out of position with zero minutes in MLS or MLS Next Pro this year. One of my favorites, Alenis Vargas, has some answering to do for that performance against RSL. I advocate for the 'kids' all the time, but this was a terrible shift from Vargas that might see him relegated back to SKC II or the proverbial Vermes 'doghouse.' And we absolutely can't avoid talking about this bizarre situation between Daniel Salloi and Brayan Vera. It wasn't all downer news around Sporting KC though. Jake Davis signed a long-term contract extension, which is a welcome addition. And it seems really likely that Alan Pulido took a pay cut, which is a big deal. The Kansas City Current nearly lifted our weekend up before a four-hour delay in the game and a fluky second half goal that allowed the Houston Dash to draw level. Despite the Current outshooting the Dash 29-8, including 14-3 with shots on goal, they couldn't pull off a win and find themselves at least temporarily out of first place looking up at the Orlando Pride. The way the rain delay was handled and the scheduling nightmare it has left the Current in was the ire of Vlatko Andonovski in the post-game press conference. We have thoughts!

The United States Women's National Team have an important week to navigate as we preview the SheBelieves Cup on Episode 131. The USWNT have a difficult 2 matches coming up, as we discuss the change to the SheBelieves Cup format and how the team will need to approach it. While they bring in a really good squad, with some new additions and some returning veterans, the competition for Olympic spots is going to be seriously tight over the next few months, as a national team roster's worth of players was left off the squad. And, they have to come together and beat Japan and either Canada or Brazil to win the trophy. After the break, it's time to discuss Korbin Albert's controversial social media over the last week. It's clear that the team will have to address it this week as they prepare for SheBelieves Cup, and we discuss the implications of her unacceptable social media posts along with her liking a post that joked about Megan Rapinoe's injury. The team that is normally unified has to rebuild that unity as they enter this international window. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and YouTube!

It was considered one of the biggest snubs of the Women's World Cup in 2023. Ashley Hatch has been around the United States Women's National Team since 2016, and even played in multiple games for the national team in 2023. And yet, when the roster for the Women's World Cup team was released, Ashley's name wasn't on it. The tough thing is that, like many disappointments in life, Ashley doesn't really have an answer for why it didn't work out the way she'd hoped. She does, however, recognize that she has the power to choose how she responds to that disappointment. “It's an opportunity to either lean into your faith, lean into your testimony, or it's an opportunity to lean away or push it away.” —Ashley Hatch Links & References: World Cup snubs The latest on Ashley's Olympic hopes Temple open house storySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here is the blurb that will be posted with the FOX News Rundown podcast for JULY 17, 2023: FBI Director Christopher Wray was in the hot seat last week, facing tough questions from the House Judiciary Committee regarding the FBI's alleged bias and unfair treatment of conservatives. After several allegations that the FBI is being weaponized against the GOP and has wrongfully worked alongside social media companies to censor many conservative viewpoints, House Republicans have expressed their determination to eradicate any leadership that has led to this alleged corruption. Though Director Wray has denied all allegations of misconduct or bias, House Republicans will continue to investigate until they feel that balance within the FBI is restored. On the Rundown, Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) joins to discuss his frustration with Wray's denial despite “explosive” evidence of bias, why he believes “institutional rot” is at the core of the FBI's alleged wrongdoing, and how he and fellow House Republicans plan to address this issue moving forward. This week, the FIFA Women's World Cup will kick off, with the games taking place in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time in the tournament's history. The games roll out on FOX Sports starting July 20th and take place across Australia and New Zealand. Anticipation is building around the performance of the United States Women's National Team, which has won four of the eight Women's World Cups and has a chance to become the first team–in men's or women's–to win three consecutive titles. Two-Time FIFA World Cup champion Carli Lloyd and Former United States men's national soccer team defender Alexi Lalas are both FOX Soccer Analysts and join the Rundown to discuss the great expectations placed on the upcoming games, what's behind the rapid expansion of professional soccer fandom in the United States, and their most memorable experiences and opponents on the field.

The boot camps feature combat training for boys and girls with a wide variety of toy weapons including knives, grenades, rifles and shoulder-fired missiles, and require the children to adopt military behavior, such as saluting, the schools’ social media posts show. The rise in the militarization of China’s youth appears to follow a 2019 Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee push for increased “National Defense Education” and a related effort directing schools to hold National Defense Education activities in 2022, according to government documents. Uniformed People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers oversaw all of the kindergarten boot camps. The boot camps were located in major Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Nanjing and Shenzhen, and were also run in more than half a dozen provinces. The programs featured roughly the same sequence of activities, according to a DCNF review of posts from the participating kindergartens. The boot camps generally began with basic military etiquette and proceeded to teach various military skills ranging from combat to emergency medical training. Additionally, a number of these programs also taught the children about famous PLA heroes and martyrs, according to the schools’ accounts. In May 2023, faculty members and more than 80 children of numerous provinces assembled on the playground for the opening ceremony of their school’s week-long National Defense Education camp, all wearing matching camouflage fatigues. “INHERIT THE RED GENE, CARRY FORWARD PATRIOTIC FEELINGS, LOVE CHINA, LITTLE SOLDIER,” declared a large PLA banner, which partially hid the kindergarten’s playset. Uniformed PLA soldiers then performed a flag-raising ceremony, with all attendants singing the Chinese national anthem, the social media post stated. “We solemnly swear to love the motherland from now on, to dedicate our hearts to working together to build the dream of a powerful country,” the children then pledged, according to the social media post. “Even if I fall to the ground I will continue onward!” PLA soldiers then taught the kindergarten recruits how to groom themselves and make their beds in accordance with military standards, before drilling them in how to stand at attention, stand at ease and salute. Experts say recent efforts to militarize China’s youth are part of the CCP’s ideological goals. Now compare that to the U.S., where students are regularly pushed into ideologies that despise everything the Founding Father’s did. https://notthebee.com/article/just-unfathomable-disney-world-is-just-about-empty-during-summer-vacation-season?fbclid=IwAR2ZgkovaL7WZCwrL8WVQuUm3MNqIpPK8z9WvOLKpsRIph9epbgE0Xknj4E "Just unfathomable": Disney World is "just about empty" during summer vacation season It takes real skill to drive this many customers away. The July 4th weekend was a 10-year-low for the massive company's Disney World amusement park in Orlando, but all the parks have been suffering recently. According to the Wall Street Journal, Park visitors in recent weeks have had significantly lower wait times to get on rides, according to data from Touring Plans, a company that tracks wait times at major amusement parks, including Disney World and Disneyland in California. Industry analysts say shorter wait times generally correlate with smaller crowds. The average posted wait time at the Magic Kingdom park in Florida — which has a special fireworks display on July 4 — was 27 minutes this year for the holiday, down from 31 minutes in 2022 and 47 minutes in 2019, the Touring Plans analysis shows. "It's something that nobody would have predicted — just unfathomable," says Len Testa, a computer scientist who runs Touring Plans. Testa says wait times rose in the following days. The Journal offers an assortment of potential reasons for the lull: Cruises and European vacations are back after the pandemic, Disney isn't offering much new, and Disney wants to slim down the crowds for richer guests anyway. But unlike the journalist class, most of America understands the two primary reasons: Your wallet is hurting Disney went woke https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4085828-a-record-share-of-americans-are-living-alone/ A record share of Americans is living alone Nearly 30 percent of American households comprise a single person, a record high. Scholars say living alone is not a trend so much as a transformation: Across much of the world, large numbers of people are living alone for the first time in recorded history. “It’s just a stunning social change,” said Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University and author of the book “Going Solo.” “I came to see it as the biggest demographic change in the last century that we failed to recognize and take seriously.” Homo sapiens is a social animal. Historians tapped ancient census rolls to show that our species has lived in groups for as long as such records have existed, stretching back at least to 1600. The U.S. Census shows that “solitaries” made up 8 percent of all households in 1940. The share of solo households doubled to 18 percent in 1970 and more than tripled, to an estimated 29 percent, by 2022. The solo-living movement intersects with several other societal trends. Americans are marrying later, if at all. The nation is aging. The national birthrate is falling. People are living longer — or they were, until the pandemic arrived. More than anything, perhaps, the rise of single-person households is about women entering the workforce and achieving economic self-sufficiency. The share of adult women participating in the labor force reached 50 percent around 1980. Historically speaking, “you don’t really see people living alone until women have control of their own lives and their own bodies,” Klinenberg said. Researchers see a marked downside to living alone, especially for older Americans, for people who live outside thickly settled cities and for pretty much anyone who is not alone by choice. A New York Times report on aging solitaries concluded that, “while many people in their 50s and 60s thrive living solo, research is unequivocal that people aging alone experience worse physical and mental health outcomes and shorter life spans.” The nation’s declining birth rate and aging population portend a time when America doesn’t have enough working-age citizens to sustain the national economy or to support the spiraling health care needs of its oldest citizens. The rise of single-person households can be seen as both a cause and effect of those challenges. “I think it’s something we should be worried about,” said Wendy Wang, director of research at the Institute for Family Studies, a conservative thinktank. “If we have fewer and fewer children, that means we have fewer people to work, to be consumers, to pay taxes.” Wang notes that low fertility rates are a global problem. Indeed, solo households are far more common across much of Europe than in the United States. According to United Nations data, solitaries make up 39 percent of households in Denmark, 45 percent in Finland, 42 percent in Germany, 38 percent in the Netherlands, 39 percent in Norway and 40 percent in Sweden. Even now, living alone is not quite so common in the United States as the data suggest. While nearly 30 percent of households comprise a single person, far fewer than 30 percent of Americans live in them. Roughly 13 percent of American adults live alone, research shows. Breaking down that figure by age groups, the population of solitaries rises from 4 percent of adults at ages 18-24 to 9 percent at 25-34, dips to 8 percent at 35-44, then rises again, to 12 percent at 45-54, 17 percent at 55-64 and 26 percent at 65 and up. Living alone is much more common in large cities. Singles now make up more than 40 percent of households in Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Denver, according to a paper by the British historian Keith Snell. Half of all Manhattan dwellings are one-person residences. Snell identified a Midtown Census tract where 94 percent of households comprised a single person. At younger ages, men outnumber women in one-person households. Young men are far more likely than young women to be single, and they tend to marry later. The gender gap in solitary living closes with age. In the retirement years, women are more likely than men to live alone. That statistic is partly about women outliving husbands, and partly about “grey divorce,” the rising rate of marriages that dissolve after age 50. The grey divorce rate has doubled since 1990. “It used to be that if people were married for 30 years and they entered their 60s, basically, they were going to stay married,” said Barbara Risman, a distinguished professor of sociology at the University of Illinois Chicago. “You would pass the risk of divorce. No one is ever past the risk of divorce anymore.” Through much of the 20th century, marriage was so universal that the very act of living alone carried a stigma. The share of Americans who had not married by age 40 hovered below 10 percent from 1950 through 1980, according to a Pew Research analysis. The figure has soared in recent decades, reaching 25 percent in 2021, a record high. The share of Americans in prime marriage years who are actually married has dwindled from about two-thirds to around half since 1990, Pew data show. Nearly two-fifths of Americans are “unpartnered,” neither married nor cohabiting. Researchers consider living alone a risk factor for loneliness and social isolation, conditions associated with a host of physical and mental maladies, from heart disease to obesity to anxiety and depression. Men tend to fare less well than women in single-person households, said Louise Hawkley, a researcher at the NORC thinktank who studies loneliness and social isolation. - Perhaps because we’re meant to be taking dominion & building families… Now for my favorite topic… sports! https://www.foxnews.com/sports/us-soccer-star-megan-rapinoe-support-trans-athlete-uswnt-roster-i-see-trans-women-as-real-women US soccer star Megan Rapinoe would support trans athlete on USWNT roster: 'I see trans women as real women' U.S. women’s soccer icon Megan Rapinoe has been a public advocate for the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, and ahead of what will be her final World Cup appearance before retiring, the one-time Golden Boot winner said she would "absolutely" support having a trans woman on the USWNT roster. Even if that meant replacing a biological female. In an interview with Time published Monday, Rapinoe recalled highlights from her lengthy career, including her battles both on and off the pitch. She was asked specifically about her push to defend transgender athletes’ participation in women’s sports. "We as a country are trying to legislate away people’s full humanity," she told the outlet. Rapinoe was one of 40 professional athletes to co-sign a letter to House lawmakers in April in opposition of the Protection of Girls and Women in Sports Act, arguing that the bill would exclude women and girls from getting "mental and physical health benefits." "It’s particularly frustrating when women’s sports is weaponized," Rapinoe said in the interview. "Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women’s sports? That’s total bulls---. And show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It’s just not happening." Rapinoe was asked specifically if she would support a trans woman playing on the United States Women’s National Team, even if it meant replacing a biological female. The OL Reign star said she would, but added that she did not view the act as "taking a ‘real’ woman’s place." "Absolutely," she told Time. "‘You’re taking a ‘real’ woman’s place,’ that’s the part of the argument that’s still extremely transphobic. I see trans women as real women. What you’re saying automatically in the argument—you’re sort of telling on yourself already—is you don’t believe these people are women. Therefore, they’re taking the other spot. I don’t feel that way." Rapinoe will make her final World Cup appearance this month as the United States Women’s National Team heads to Australia and New Zealand with the hopes of making history: becoming the first women’s or men’s team to win a three-peat. The 38-year-old soccer star announced over the weekend her plans to retire at the conclusion of the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League season.
