We talked about it around the Olympics: Alex Morgan leaves behind an Alex-Morgan shaped hole in the sport...but she also did years of tireless work to ensure that the game would be even better after she left #NWSL #USWNT nytimes.com/athletic/56755…

I spoke to interim Wave HC Landon Donovan about jumping into the deep end midseason, empathizing with Alex Morgan, and trying to score more goals #NWSL “I just want the end of her career to be celebrated, because she deserves that." - Donovan on Morgan nytimes.com/athletic/57459…

#NWSL has hired former FIFPRO women's global policy director Sarah Gregorius as sporting senior director. I spoke to her about how she sees this as an opportunity to advance global player standards through setting league policy: nytimes.com/athletic/57493…

SAN D13GOAT 🐐 Alex Morgan x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Alex Morgan retiring with some psychic damage for the elder millenials in her Wave presser: "Some players are closer in age to my daughter than they are to me." #NWSL

Naomi Girma asks the final questions for Alex Morgan in this press conference: favorite soccer memory, and can the Wave still bring Charlie on away trips. The symbolism of next USWNT captain asking former USWNT captain about the end of her career got me misty for sure.

From Alex Morgan's final pregame press conference: her reflections on going from drafted in 2011 in WPS to #NWSL where the players bargained for no more drafts, building a legacy, and continuing to invest in women's sports: nytimes.com/athletic/57506…

Alex Morgan announces retirement Thursday. Same day Wave announce lower bowl of Snapdragon sold out so they're opening upper bowl. Friday they open 300 lvl. Don't know if they'll make a sellout in just 4 days...but it could be close. #NWSL

Alex Morgan will play her final NWSL game this Sunday in San Diego after announcing her retirement from professional soccer earlier this week — and she’ll also provide a reminder of her commercial muscle at the same time. ✍️ Meg Linehan nytimes.com/athletic/57511…

To honor AM13, Sunday's San Diego Wave FC vs NC Courage match will air on CBSSN, Paramount+, ESPN2, ESPN+, Prime Video, and NWSL+, marking the first time a women’s sporting event will be shown across multiple platforms simultaneously in the U.S. More: tinyurl.com/2s3vekt9

"From the start of the game, I thought the ref didn't have any control, and it was not enjoyable to to be on the field with him. He wasn't really giving us the respect that we deserved." - Sarah Gorden after 3-2 ACFC loss to Reign in which 2 goals called back after VAR #NWSL

In Reign postgame, AMC says initially she was like "What are you doing?" on Ji So-yun's goal. "But then I see-" (mimes curve with her hand) Tziarra King: "She's been on one lately.... I'm like, keep that train rolling, girlfriend." #NWSL
