Orlando should take more Pride in having the great Marta in our midst

Substitute players Marta and Danica Evans were the stars of the Orlando Pride's home opener match against Washington Spirit on Saturday, April 22, 2017.

You missed it, Orlando.

Historically and categorically, you missed it.

If you weren’t there Saturday at the new stadium — and many of you weren’t — for the Orlando Pride debut of the magnificent Marta, you missed the unveiling of the greatest athlete to ever call Orlando home.

Greater than all of her fellow one-name wonders.

Greater than Shaq.

Greater than Dwight.

Greater than Tiger.

Greater than her Brazilian brethren Kaká.
