How We Got Gerrymandered, Titans Fire Sale, and Is Nashville Just an Airport?
On today’s Friday News Roundup, producer Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are joined by Tennessee Lookout reporter Adam Friedman to learn more about why Nashville got gerrymandered into three congressional districts. Plus: Why are the Titans having a fire sale? Will we get a National Women’s Soccer League Team? And is Nashville just … the Nashville airport?
And stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for the weekend, presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. Celebrate the news that Nashville might be getting a professional women’s soccer franchise by heading to Geodis Park to cheer on the U.S. Women’s National Team in a friendly match against Iceland! Olympic gold medalists are on the roster, from Rose Lavelle and Naomi Girma to Mallory Swanson — who will mark her 100th game as a national team member. Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, and you can also reserve a spot on Saturday to watch the team practice ahead of the game. Don’t go gently, go in Tecovas!
