Christen Press, soccer player for Angel City FC in the @NWSLsoccer, and Kara Nortman, cofounder of Angel City FC and managing partner for Monarch Collective, sits down with senior writer Emma Hinchliffe to discuss the latest $100 million investment into teams, leagues and players.

Kara describes how she got involved in the pay equity fight with the U.S. Women's National Team and how signing Christen as the first player for Angel City FC sparked her interest to start the fund into the league.

Christen details how she spent her career fighting for betterment, fighting for pay equity, and fighting for basic resources for athletes that just weren't there. Now many of her current teammates started their own business and became entrepreneurial to get more money.

Both women explain that there is still a gap between the demand for women's sports and the delivery of the content to various platforms. Christen admits she has trouble finding her own team's away games to watch live and thinks that the investment from Monarch Collective will hopefully aid the growth of finding content more easily and accessible to those who want to watch the games.
