Football is a game built on domination and violence. But when troubling incidences of domestic abuse and sexual assault among players make headlines, die-hard female fans must grapple with their love for a game that may not love them back. A sexual assault survivor named Katherine, former athletes and fans work to treat the problem at its root: locker rooms full of swagger but lacking in respect.
