“Float Like a Butterfly…’ – Amid Self-Produced Film’s Oscar Recognition, USWNT Veteran Alex Morgan Hits Fanbase With Iconic Muhammad Ali Line

Alex Morgan is possibly one of the most influential women’s soccer players out there. She has been a pioneer in the growth and development of the women’s counterpart of soccer all across the globe. Considering her stature in the game, she still remains to be extremely down-to-earth and humble with her fans. The USWNT star doesn’t shy away from interacting with the fanbase on social media.

Just hours ago, Morgan shared one of Muhammad Ali’s famous lines on Twitter.

It was quite a pleasant surprise for the fanbase. Amid a busy NWSL season, the soccer star has been in the limelight in recent times.

Alex Morgan’s iconic Ali reference

Without a doubt, Alex Morgan’s sight is on the upcoming World Cup. While the USWNT are strong favorites, Morgan will gladfully lead the attack with younger stars. Amidst all the preparation, the USWNT posted quite an eye-opener on Twitter. In the tweet, she posted a picture of herself during a training session with the San Diego Wave FC.

As the caption, she wrote, “Float like a butterfly…”. The USWNT veteran let the fans complete the quote in the comments section. This iconic quote by Muhammad Ali dates back to 1964. Decades ago, he was the underdog facing Sonny Liston. At that time, boxing reports predicted that Liston might genuinely kill young Ali. However, the future boxing legend wasn’t scared.

Moments before entering the ring, he dropped this iconic line. He said, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can’t hit what the eyes can’t see”. Ali topped it off by shockingly winning the game on a technical knockout. Following that, he won against Liston again a year later and established himself as the greatest in the world.
