Alex Morgan is retiring, and the top line of every press release or story covering the news will rightly hail her as one of the greatest women's soccer players ever.
They will celebrate her 200-plus career goals, including 123 for the U.S. women's national team.
They will call her an Olympic gold medalist and a two-time World Cup champion, because she is.
They will tell the tale of how Morgan evolved from "Baby Horse," a lethal forward with blazing speed, to a more traditional target striker who was no less effective.
They will tabulate her accomplishments, and the list will stretch on and on, seemingly endlessly: National Women's Soccer League and UEFA Champions League titles, player of the year awards, golden boots and golden balls, ESPYs.
