Christen Press latest USWNT player to be in ESPN's Body Issue

The Body Issue is a yearly special issue from ESPN that features athletes posing nude, but with a mission statement to emphasize their athleticism as opposed to sexualizing them. It features both male and female athletes and this year will showcase 10 men and nine women, including their first trans athlete, Chris Mosier.

There's usually a soccer player involved each year; last year Ali Krieger was in the issue, and the year before that Megan Rapinoe and Omar Gonzalez. Tim Howard, Sydney Leroux, Carlos Bocanegra, Abby Wambach, and Hope Solo have all done Body Issues as well.
