On Saturday, Mar. 2, Elena Delle Donne was one of the players who represented the United States in a major sports match. That sounds right. She is on Team USA’s women’s basketball team. But what if I told you that Delle Donne played for the U.S. women’s national soccer team against England yesterday? That sounds weird. Did EDD change sports? Not exactly.
The American soccer team wore jerseys where each player wore the name of a woman whom she wanted to honor in commemoration of SheBelieves, a movement to inspire girls and women to “accomplish their goals and dreams, athletic or otherwise” according to its website.
