Natalie Portman & Angel City’s Big Bet on Soccer | The Circuit with Emily Chang
In this episode of The Circuit, Bloomberg’s Emily Chang sits down with Angel City FC’s three co-founders for their first-ever joint interview. Natalie Portman, Kara Nortman and Julie Uhrman gathered a star-studded, mostly women-led investor group to launch the team back in 2019. Now in their second season, the team is already selling out stadiums, boosting the profile of the national league and changing the culture of professional sports.

She's failing upward. It's wild how that stuff works. The whole vc game is insanity.
FC Barcelona managed to get over 90.000 people at least twice, and they are dominating european Football. They also have the best Player over the last three years (2x Alexia Putellas, 1x Aitana Bonmati).... What about staging a game ANGEL CITY vs FC BARCELONA ? Anybody ready to take that challenge ?
IF women actually watched and supported women's sports, I BET THAT WOULD HELP.

It's only a sport if you can bet on it. in Vegas
I think one should be paid a proportion of what they bring as income.
That's a nice looking stadium! Gonna have to check out a match there once the Women's World Cup finiahes up. Love the competitiveness of the NWSL, esp compared to the European leagues that are dominated by the same teams every season.
Female sport is like Schrödinger's cat, if you don't open the box, the cat is either dead and alive. But if a feminist open the box, the cat is 100% dead.

Recap by Tammy AI
This is Bloomberg. This video should be a discussion how I can short/long this soccer league, to make money. Also a legal segment on how they are avoiding lawsuits in regards to their discrimination of men.
Watching this I was like ok I can handle a little bit of toxic feminism to promote soccer into a larger sport in North America, but no this is mostly about profits.
What an amazing team of female leaders. I loved Kara’s comment on unicorns.

Why?
It's all about equity and definitely not about trying to get profits. The issue is, you have so many companies targeting women. Women only have so much time. You're essentially drawing and quartering women's minds, driving them crazy. The adverts targeting men feel like they're half of what women get.
Watching women’s sports unironically 💀
15:58 there really is not another environment that we can share like this and jump on each other… other than sport
0:25 ? are they though?
Why is she talking about men the whole time?
Ahahaha 😅 Ouya fail lady. This is destined to bomb. Didn't she get sued for misrepresenting that console?
I love watching money burn 🔥
On average females at their peak perform at the level of 14-15 years males who earn nothing at that age. There is a huge men discrimination/wage gap.

When I heard this for the first time, I was actually surprised but it is true. A lot of the women national teams, tested against 14 year old boys before the current world cup. Given the low performance, the women make a lot of money and play in front of fairly large crowds.
