Time and time again we get reminders of how awful 2020 is. The latest of those reminders came on Monday, when the Orlando Pride pulled out of the NWSL Challenge Cup — and most likely any chance at competitive play in 2020 — just days before the team was supposed to play the Chicago Red Stars on the first day of the tournament.
Instead, players and staff are in quarantine and we may have to wait until 2021 to see any Orlando Pride soccer. We’ve also potentially seen the last of some of our favorite players. We discuss why Orlando made the right decision and how the players shouldn’t be put on full blast for making a wrong one.
