Football vs. Soccer: UK Fan Culture, League Systems & Charlotteโs Hull City Fandom
Charlotte is back for her second episode on Name One Player! Since sheโs from the UK, she gives us an insider look at what being a football fan in England is really like. Charlotte breaks down the English football league system, explains what makes matchday culture so unique, and we compare how football (soccer) is experienced in Europe vs. North America.
We also dive into Charlotteโs history as a Hull City fan, why the club means so much to her, and what it would take for football culture to grow in North America. And of courseโshe ends the episode with a truly shocking Name One Player story you wonโt want to miss. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sky Sports Halo: What Even Happened?!
This week, Charlotte joins me to unpack Sky Sports Halo - how it even came to be, and why the whole thing was so shocking that it felt like it couldn't actually be real. She also shares some insider context from within the sports world that gives a much clearer picture of what was actually happening behind the scenes.
We talk about her background working in and around sports, our honest thoughts on the Halo, and the bigger conversation it sparked about how women are treated in sports spaces. We get into whether creating โsafe spacesโ actually helps women or if it ends up separating us from the larger sports community. We also look at the PR and branding angle and whether Sky Sports can realistically recover from this moment.
Itโs thoughtful, funny, and a surprisingly wild deep dive into what happens when intentions, execution, and audience trust all collide.
