I was surprised at how emotional I got at Morgan's retirement announcement and during the game (the actual taking off of the cleats!). Made me question if I was a lesbian traitor because I don’t remember being this emotional over Rapinoe’s retirement. It must’ve been the combination of factors though: the sudden announcement, my sneaking suspicion that Stoney’s ouster and general Wavé shitshow made Morgan’s decision easier, and that an irreplaceable unicorn (a great athlete with mainstream appeal who does good work) is leaving the arena. Argh, getting emotional again now.
