NFL off-field updates & Solheim Cup preview

Hi there!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz dive into two complex NFL headlines. First, El and Steph revisit the lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was recently accused of sexual assault after facing 26 civil suits accusing him of sexual misconduct.

El and Steph also discuss the developing story regarding the police detainment of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and two of his teammates ahead of last Sunday’s game. The incident has come under serious scrutiny.

Then in part two, the gals preview the 19th edition of the Solheim Cup where the top women golfers in the U.S. and Europe will be facing off in Virginia as Team USA looks to take back the trophy and Team Europe chases a four peat. Who’s ready for the tee?

A big thank you to our friends at Aflac for powering today’s episode! Just like The GIST tackles the gap in women’s sports coverage, Aflac closes the gap that health insurance leaves behind. Learn more at aflac.com/thegist.
