    I'm of two minds about this Women's World Cup promo running on ESPN now:

    On one hand it's great that ESPN is running a promo of the WWC. However, is it a good thing that a member of the American team is so willing to play along with one of the most tired and cliché jokes about the sport?

    I'm not sure. Experience tells me that there is a significant amount of people in this world that don't understand parody and satire. To those folks, this commercial probably just reinforces their perspective that soccer is a sport not worth their time.

    Am I overthinking this?
