Crystal Dunn excited about “incredible platform” with NWSL first to return

Officially, the first pro team sports league to return in the United States from the coronavirus pandemic is slated to be the NWSL, which will hold the NWSL Challenge Cup in Utah beginning June 27.

North Carolina Courage star Crystal Dunn, one of the few players who can claim to be both a current world champion and current league champion right now, spoke to Mike Greenberg on ESPN’s SportsCenter special Monday, discussing the coming reopening of a variety of team sports.

While the NWSL was not originally slated to be on the SportsCenter special, an outcry from fans on social media apparently worked, as Dunn was a late invitee to the proceedings.
