NWSL Challenge Cup Controversies and Exciting Matchups

OL Reign forward Bethany Balcer criticizes the scheduling and national broadcast time slots of the 2023 NWSL Challenge Cup, stating that the league is making the same mistakes as in previous years. Balcer expresses frustration that if her team advances to the final, they won't be able to host the game in Seattle due to the fixed CBS time slot. She suggests putting the game on YouTube for better exposure and views.
