What’s the difference between a player going pro and making 35,000 a year or a college student getting a full ride at 35,000 a year?

She’s a soccer stud. No question about it. But she’s from Texas. None of us know her. Playing three years at UVA doesn’t make her a Hometown hero.

She has the pedigree to do well in the NWSL providing she stays healthy and doesn’t get frustrated at that level.

Leaving behind college to make money is fine as long as you got the degree. So hopefully she did

This thread has taken such a weird turn. As a PP mentioned, if she doesn’t have her UVA degree, she can get it later. Many pros go this route. Not sure why it matters to anyone what her degree is in.

Also, she may be from Texas, but she’s attended UVA for three years. It’s entirely possible that she’s friends with posters’ kids. And why would she need to be a hometown hero for us to take an interest? I follow Catarina Marcario’s career despite never having met her because I loved watching her play for Stanford. She’s someone who also left college early, and now she’s playing for the USWNT and Lyon, living the dream. I wish more people were rooting for these women instead of criticizing them and being patronizing about their life choices.

Lighten up Francis, it's not meant to be right, it's meant to be funny.

What is wrong with you people? Like Pavlov’s dog whenever someone says “UVA.”

No she has to play against that level and see if she can be productive. Lots of college stars do not bust a grape in the pros.

Nah, in the NWSL most rookies live with their coaches.

She was the ACC offensive player of the year. If you don’t care, why comment??

I'm also in the who cares camp. This is not newsworthy at all. It's entertaining to see opinions on someone no one knows and event no one cares about.

Every year a lot of players are going to declare for the draft. I don't think this is really newsworthy.

Retired? With what pension? More like “stops playing”

You must be a joy at parties.

Don’t cry about it.

So she shouldn’t play in nwsl? She should go get a job? That’s your point?

She she do whatever she wants. I just don’t understand the excitement

So, why did you click on this thread, exactly?

I don’t know. Curious. It’s great if she’s living out her dream. But it’s her dream.
