## Resource

Being a Lioness may make you financially comfortable.  Being anyone else in the WSL is a very different reality.  Colin and Nat pull apart the numbers behind English women's football — from minimum wage rules for 18-20-year-olds to what happens when a league's biggest stars retire in their mid-30s with no fallback plan.  They're joined by Beth Fisher, senior advisor to UEFA Vice President and Mary Earps, for an inside look at sponsorship, fandom, and why the WSL still has work to do outside its Lioness elite. Plus: with Gianni Infantino's grip on FIFA under fire, Colin and Nat pick who they'd install as the next president of world football — from real-world contenders to a full-blown fantasy draft, Star Wars comparisons included.
