A few days before Amanda Da Costa played her last game as a professional soccer player, the New Hampshire Union Leader released a feature covering Morgan Andrews that said, “Saturday’s contest will mark one of Andrews’ final appearances for Boston this season.”
Some fans took this to imply that Andrews’ season with Boston would end early, followed by a quote that further sounded as though she would be finished with soccer after this season. Perhaps it only sounds that way to those who are already paranoid, but sports fans can be a suspicious lot, and perhaps Boston fans were especially tender having just lost midfielder Emilie Haavi and now Amanda Da Costa due to off-field reasons.
