(Don't) Pardon My Take: Friday Five With Meredith Weiss

“What’s something happening in women’s sports right now that you think is underrated or under-discussed?

Women’s college softball. Texas just won back-to-back national titles and the championship series averaged 2.2 million viewers. Last year the Women’s College World Series actually out-drew the men’s. And it’s not just the team. Texas’s Teagan Kavan just became the first player in history to win Most Outstanding Player twice. A pitcher making that kind of history would be a household name if she were a man. Instead the “rise of women’s sports” conversation focuses almost entirely on basketball, even though softball has had the audience, the drama, and the stars for years. That gap is the story.”

Boomshot owner and principal Meredith Weiss is interviewed on Kelsey Smith’s “Friday Five” as part of her sports and business Substack, (Don’t) Pardon My Take. In it, Meredith shares the best career advice she’s ever received and gives Nelly Korda her flowers.
