Jen Buczkowski and the NWSL’s Retirement Problem

After FC Kansas City’s game against the Chicago Red Stars, defensive midfielder Jen Buczkowski officially retired from the NWSL. That is an odd thing to say considering we are only five games into a 20 game season.

If you are unfamiliar with the National Women’s Soccer League then you may wonder if Buczkowski was injured or simply not good enough to be on the team. Well that’s far from the truth. In fact in the three plus years that the NWSL has been a league, Buczkowski has played in every single game for FC Kansas City.
