The bittersweet moment we’ve been expecting has finally happened. Jordan Morris has left the Seattle Sounders, having been loaned to Championship side Swansea City for the remainder of their 2020-21 season. This move certainly raises questions about the present and future for Jordan, the Sounders, and us — the fans.
When the news officially broke I was listening to Left and Leaving by The Weakerthans. I didn’t time this and it certainly wasn’t on purpose, but sometimes life is just like a sappy indie movie. The song details the author’s relationship with the place he’s from and how things are too familiar; longing for something that isn’t so known.
