(It’s 12:30am & I can’t sleep so I am choosing to be messy. I have negative interest in the man so this is purely for fun)

Should I send it?

Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 17h

OK WE HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED OUR LIMIT. IT IS NOW ILLEGAL FOR NWSL PLAYERS TO RETIRE.

Any player who retires from this day forward shall be punished with an infinite injury free career with the team of their choosing

Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 5d

NWSL PLAYERS NEED TO STOP RETIRING IMMEDIATELY

Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 17h

Since there’s no shot I make it to LA…. What are the odds I could get to Chicago for November 2nd ? And yes, I am completely serious

Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 17h

I did intentionally dress in my Re-Inc “Christen Press is coming back like a flower in spring” shirt & ACFC quarter-zip today b/c I wanted to be constantly reminded apparently

could we get some Kreigs retirement energy to LA now maybe

Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 19h

I would do just about anything to be in LA on Sunday.

Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 20h

since watching her tear her ACL at my first NWSL game to now, I literally cannot put into words how much Christen means to me. I am literally an NWSL fan because of her. I am an Angel City fan because of her.

Maybe once I've stopped crying, I will be able to write something up
