And I just feel like there are so many players who are dedicating their lives while they're active players and then beyond to continuing to grow this sport. And I love listening to a broadcast and having former players, looking at the GM of a team and having former players. 100%. Owners now, former players. I never considered any of that when I was growing up.
Coach, that was the one thing where, okay, maybe if you want to continue in the sport. Oh, Sid.
Thank you, but I don't. I don't know if I have patience. You can do it. But it's, yeah, I never considered that we could be a GM or an owner or anything bigger than that tiny being a player, being a coach.
I think so.
Yeah.
When I think about women in these roles, we've talked a lot about if women's teams need to have a woman for a coach.
Yeah, and Angel City just announced the hire starting in June. And I know a lot of fans, supporters... People who cheer on Angel City were really hoping for a woman. And I think what you're speaking to is like, we need more investment in developing coaches, referees, so that in time, the best, when we say we want the best person for the job, there is just hundreds of women to choose from.
I think now we feel sometimes that people are asking us to maybe sacrifice the quality of a ref or a coach to have a woman. And it's a hard one because like you said, we want to have women in leadership roles and in management roles. And we want young girls to see women in those roles.
well you and I could talk about soccer football all day and we will definitely add our our on field bits every episode but I think that's all we have time for for this episode so it's time for another break but uh stick around because there is more BFFR coming up soon you'll love this part
Okay. Let's start with something that we're loving. Go ahead. For me, I just rewatched all seasons of Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte. And I just love that show. It makes me feel so good. I was a little bit stressed out and I watched it. And I also think that I would do well there and would love to speak like them. I burn for you, my lady.
We are loving that. Thank you. That's what the kids do nowadays. Yeah, I've seen that. Do you have a win of the week?
Yeah, I think for me, a win would be running laps around the field. Allie ran for the first time.
Pain free. First time pain free in a long time. I was running a lot, but it didn't feel so good. It was not pain free. Yeah.
Oh, you were at the butcher.
The cut of meat, the meat itself.
So a little update. My parents lost their home in the Palisades fire and we were great. We're fine. But there is a whole process with what happens after the fire with the debris and the rubble and the land and the soil and the house just. All the debris was removed. Our big tree in the front yard was cut down and taken away. So it's just this bare leveled piece of land. And it is bittersweet.
It is... Now we can look forward to rebuilding and my parents are going to rebuild, but it's, it is this, this weird sense of loss. Like even when everything was rubble, it was still there. Like nothing was recognizable, but it was there and now it's gone. So I think I'm just kind of processing that, but it was a loss that is still positive because we're moving forward.
But yes, I. You started it intense and I kind of. Okay. I took it there.
My bad.
Yeah.
