As a fan of the USWNT and the Washington Spirit, I’m quite displeased to have left the bunker of medical school studying to find my legit fave, goal keeper Ashlyn Harris, having to say anything about something that isn’t soccer. Ashlyn was goal keeper at UNC as well so we've got history. (A history of whooping ass across the pitch!)
Its one thing if she wants to say something about her personal life but for her to have felt forced by you people(on social media) is unconscionable. Our lady footballers are awfully open with us. Take what they give you with glee but to drag a comment out of someone means there’s been some disrespect.
They give us great football. They do us proud on the international stage. They practice day in and day out, when we’re not watching or thinking about them or praising them for international competition. Their commitment to the game, love of it, and desire to represent our nation well drives them. What you can expect from our world-class ladies in cleats is phenomenal football.
That’s it. That’s a whole lot.
Everything else is quite frankly not your business unless they invite you in. Their lives past the pitch are by invitation only.
Ashlyn hasn’t handed out a single invite.
No one needs help telling people what they want them to know. I need everyone else to get fine with not being in an actual stranger's business!
