Show Notes
Kansas City’s women’s pro-soccer franchise has a new team name. The Kansas City Current was introduced Saturday night at halftime of the final game of the NWSL team’s inaugural season. What do you think of the new moniker?
Soccer reporter Shaun Goodwin discusses the new name, plans for a new stadium and shares some general thoughts about the team’s first season on today’s episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.
After a break, the topic turns to Sporting Kansas City, which missed an opportunity to own first place outright in the Western Conference by losing at Minnesota on Sunday. No goal for Johnny Russell in this one, but he did log an assist.
