For those downloading this week’s show, we wanted you to know going in it’s going to be a lengthy one — but one well worth the listen. In addition to the normal rundown of the Premier League, MLS Playoffs and the other usual weekly segments, we also welcome on our friends from Detroit-based podcast The Outer Drive, Fletcher Sharpe and John Brown II. The guys joined to chat about the soccer explosion we’ve seen in Detroit and Michigan over the last few years, their thoughts on possible MLS expansion in their town, and the impact the sport can have in the ongoing inequality struggles our country is currently experiencing.
