From The Atlantic.

Fifty years after the passage of Title IX, professional women’s sports is a huge business, boasting record-breaking viewership, sponsorship deals, and valuations. But challenges for equity with women’s male counterparts remain—in pay, media exposure, and access. Join Clara Wu Tsai, the owner and governor of the New York Liberty, and Atlantic contributing writer Jemele Hill for an inside look at how innovation and investments are expanding the reach of women’s sports. Then, Hill leads a conversation about the explosive growth in women’s sports, the rise of the superstar player, and what’s ahead for the next generation of women’s athletes with the sports journalist and Atlantic staff writer Sally Jenkins, ESPN and MSG Network basketball analyst Monica McNutt, and Sarah Spain, the host of the podcast “Good Game With Sarah Spain.”

Speakers include:
Clara Wu Tsai, Owner and Governor, New York Liberty
Jemele Hill, Contributing Writer, The Atlantic
Sally Jenkins, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
Sarah Spain, Journalist, Podcast Host, and Author
Monica McNutt, Basketball Analyst, ESPN and MSG Network
