It’s been a difficult few days in the wake of Friday’s Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz will discuss how the sports world is (and isn’t) responding to the devastating decision.

Plus, El and Steph will also dive into two more intense but important topics on today’s episode. First, the hearing regarding potential discipline for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson — who recently faced 24 civil sexual misconduct lawsuits — begins today. El and Steph will detail how the process works and what we can expect.*

Meanwhile, a Russian court set this Friday as the start date for wrongfully detained WNBA star Brittney Griner’s trial. El and Steph will detail what it means and how it will impact Griner’s case.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX — the U.S. legislation which gave female athletes the right to equal opportunity in sports. So, today’s episode of The GIST of It is a celebration of the landmark law and its impact on women’s sports. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz will discuss what Title IX covers exactly, a few of the trailblazers who paved the way in women’s sports and what the next 50 years under Title IX might look like. Cue that confetti.

El and Steph break down the most recent news and look ahead to how the NFL might respond.*

Then after the break, we’re returning to the sports story that dominated headlines last week — the ongoing feud between the PGA and the controversial LIV Golf tour. The U.S. Open tees off today and will feature golfers from both sides of the divide, meaning there’s about to be major drama on the links. Spicy.
