Jemele uses this week's "The Filibuster" to show decades' worth of receipts on women's sports being a viable investment. With the help of Jane McManus, an adjunct NYU professor, columnist, and author of The Fast Track, she explains why this year's women's sports boom can be sustained. Then, 776 founder and serial entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian Sr. joins Jemele. Alexis reflects on co-founding Reddit and how he translated the disruptive techniques he learned from tech into investing in Angel City FC and creating ATHLOS NYC. Alexis forecasts whether his daughters will become professional athletes under the guidance of his wife and tennis G.O.A..T., Serena Williams. He also playfully shares everything he does better than Serena. Finally, Jemele answers a listener question about covering sports as a woman in this MAGA climate.
