Jen Buczkowski and the NWSL's Retirement Problem

Jen Buczkowski retired from FC Kansas City and the NWSL and she isn't the only player to leave the game too soon.

Almost two months ago (has it been that long?) 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 were only five games into a 20 game season at that time.

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.
