An attempt to capture the whole, at @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...

Christen Press felt like a ‘villain’. The ex-USWNT forward played long enough to become a hero

The World Cup winner doesn't view her professional career as 'storybook,' but a journey full of lessons

I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have gotten Saara, and to have her leadership taking us forward!!

Minnesota Aurora FC @mnaurorafc.bsky.social · 12d

From day one, Saara Hassoun has believed in what makes Aurora special — people, purpose, and possibility.
We’re proud to share she’s stepping into the role of President of Minnesota Aurora FC.

The future’s bright — and very Aurora. 💫

I simply can’t overstate how great this is. Building a community-owned club that rivals and outperforms women’s pro teams has been insane, but Saara came in this year and took it beyond the next level. I feel so lucky we have her. VAMOS MILLONARIOS.

"The WNBA got handed a winning lottery ticket not seen in sports since Tiger Woods arrived on the PGA Tour.

The league should stop trying to light it on fire."

In seeming to not embrace the player who singlehandedly lifted the WNBA, the league risks losing her fan base.

Kayla McBride, very emotional, on this #Lynx season:

"It's the people you go to work with every day. ... You just want it for the people that are around you. ... In pro sports, it doesn't get as good as we have it in our locker room. ... This shit fucking hurts."
