Might as well just list all the former Red Stars, since they all tend to thrive after leaving Chicago... for some reason...

Of the 2020 Red Stars rookies, only Ella Stevens was given a follow-up contract, but multiple players have thrived after leaving Chicago:

In comparison, the Ligue 1 Players of the Year for the same past 12 years:
- 1 came to NWSL and stayed (Cascarino)
- 3 came to NWSL for one season then returned to L1 (Thiney 2x, Le Sommer, Marozsán 3x)
- 4 stayed in L1 (Majri, Diani, Katoto, Tabitha Chawinga)
- 1 went to Sweden D1 (Schelin)

In comparison, the WSL has had 6 Players of the Season:
- England (still in WSL)
- Kirby (still in WSL)
- Kerr (still in WSL)
- Daly (still in WSL)
- Shaw (still in WSL)
- Caldentey (still in WSL)

The 5 who play in Europe:
- Little (WSL)
- Dunn (Première Ligue)
- Kerr (2x) (WSL)
- Heaps (Première Ligue)
- Kerolin (WSL)

The league has had 10 MVPs (2 won twice).
Of those 10, 9 still play (assuming Wilson returns).
Of those 9, 5 now play in Europe.
The 4 remaining:
- Biyendolo, signed thru 2027 (maternity)
- Fishlock, thru 2026 (final?)
- Wilson, UFA? (maternity)
- Chawinga (2x), thru 2028

I named my fists after lying parents, because this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.

I have now lived in MN longer than I lived in Wisconsin.

I wear my Fuller Aurora jersey and my Smith (Wilson) USWNT jersey a LOT. But I am technically a transplant as well.
