Fame? I don’t think so.
100 % the fame. She is dating a big time MLB player with the Braves. She has used off her good looks for a few endorsement ads. etc. Her sister is married to another pro athlete so they almost fall into the "Jersey/cleat Chaser category.
That's a little judgement and unfair. It could also be that two passionate athletes have that in common.

Wash Spirit is in need of a huge rehaul. Hopefully this year and these players will help. It's just not a great program. That's why all the sad faces at the draft.
Agreed, it's not. I hope Sky Blue FC turns it around for her. She probably should have gone to Europe instead. Longer seasons, better coaching

She will improve over time. Perhaps quickly
The Spirit system seemed to encourage many players to attackers the deep wings and cross.
Lavalle is better and looks better because she attacks and plays the middle
Mallory is a player that wants to go forward and attack.
On the USWNT she is stuck behind Rapinoe and others.
She is an example at a high level of a player who could make the USWNT and start regularly if she could play another position at elite level.
There are a few quite others a head of her beside Rapinoe(who is way over the hill). She just has not done much. She did get injured in her first year right?

She will be fine. She's still way ahead of everyone else her age

Mal Pugh, who gave up college soccer to become a professional soccer player, was left off of the Olympic roster. The best thing Spirit did for her was trade her. I hope Sky Blue FC can get her back on track.
