The reporter’s question wasn’t actually about the NWSL being the first team sports league to return in the United States, but Portland Thorns midfielder Lindsey Horan needed to vent.
“It hasn’t really been put out there enough — there’s been a lot of social handles that haven’t said the NWSL is the first league back but have talked about all these other leagues besides us,” Horan said on a conference call Thursday. “It’s really frustrating. I don’t understand that.”
Horan, of course, is referring to the tendency of some sports personalities and media outlets to hype up July as the return of team sports because the NBA, MLB and MLS are all slated to resume.
