Lesle Gallimore talks Seattle Reign's new era and the Hope Solo documentary
This week's Full Time podcast has a bit of a Seattle feel.
Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan caught up with Seattle Reign general manager Lesle Gallimore to learn more about how the NWSL club's recent ownership change has affected their 2024 season in both frustrating and exciting ways.
Gallimore also opened up about her decision to feature in the new Netflix documentary 'Untold: Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer' -- she unpacked some of her feelings on the legendary USWNT goalkeeper too. Before being at the helm of the Reign, Gallimore was at the University of Washington for 25 seasons. There, she coached Solo in the early 2000s. Tamerra and Meg also weighed in on the documentary and some of its glaring journalistic deficiencies.
After all that, there's still time to talk NJ/NY Gotham FC becoming the first NWSL club to visit the White House, the curiosities of ESPN's GM survey, and the return of the English Women's Super League.
