I'm sure her quitting the Reign had nothing at all to do with the fact that, with her USSF contract terminated, her pay would be cut from north of $250k to just under $40k. I also find it amusing that Carli Lloyd is blowing off her club team's last 4 games for a book tour that was supposedly scheduled in advance. The behavior of this generation of WNT players compared to the WUSA/99WWC winning generation is just night and day. The WNT players clearly don't give a crap about NWSL. When USSF offers them the same contact as the MNT this winter (meaning the guaranteed roster spots, restrictive call-up rules and subsidized salary for NT members playing in the NWSL would be eliminated, in lieu of a block grant to NWSL for the individual clubs to allocate as they see fit) and they decline, I'm very interested in how that will be spun by Kessler. Because that's likely what's going to happen.
