Quote of the Day

It's just important to note that we have stood up for the failures of our employers. The people that have put things in place for us, it wasn't set up for success. I'm really optimistic with how the players have responded, but there's also so much work to do. I hope that in the future we're set up for success.
-- Orlando Pride F Alex Morgan, on what has transpired around the NWSL recently.
