After serving Seattle’s fans for over 14 years, Reign FC midfielder Jess Fishlock announced her plans to retire at the end of this year’s season.

History tells us he’s right to trust his gut. The Rave Green have earned a reputation as the most consistently excellent team in Seattle. In the last 25 years, they’ve only had a losing record on two occasions, and they only missed the playoffs once in club history. In that same span of time, the

Professional soccer, unfortunately, has never been guaranteed to be welcoming and friendly. For every great thing about the beautiful game, it has always coexisted with ugly speech and behavior. Certain clubs, for decades, have had to repeatedly report incidents of hate and sometimes stop playing entirely, because their fans can’t help but chant slurs like “puto” and “rent boy” at their opponents. As the pinnacle of soccer culture, you’d hope that FIFA would take the initiative to set a better example. Unf

It might have lacked the usual stakes of World Cup soccer, but those rooting for Team USA were jus
