Just days ago, Alex Morgan found herself embroiled in a troubling incident. It happened during an NWSL fixture, sparking her frustration with referee decisions, followed by expressing her thoughts after the game. But it appears that her online actions have now resulted in significant consequences, as the co-captain of the USWNT star has been hit with a substantial fine.

Already, the forward was coping with a disappointing 1-2 loss on their home turf against the KC Current. Now, her latest activity on the internet has seemingly invited needless trouble for her.

Alex Morgan pays the price for an outburst on social media

During the latest NWSL fixture between the San Diego Waves and KC Current, Alex Morgan received a reckless challenge from the opposition player. Stine Pedersen went in hard on Morgan in the penalty area and the referee didn’t make any call. In fact, the Danish star managed to avoid receiving a yellow card for the tackle, leaving the USWNT veteran infuriated after the game.

The Waves forward posted a video on X and also complained about why the referee didn’t make the call. The 34-year-old insisted on being glad that she saw her coming and didn’t “didn’t plant on that leg,” or else she’d “100% not be walking”. Apparently, these comments came to the NWSL’s notice, who have taken a strong decision against Alex Morgan.

The league has announced they have issued a fine on her for the comments that are detrimental to the league. Indeed, it is a huge call from the board. Certainly, Alex Morgan won’t be pleased to hear this news. She was already advocating for her cause, and in return, the player has been slapped with a fine. It remains to be seen how she reacts to the news. Unlike her outburst on social media, her team’s head coach surprisingly refused to comment on the incident. What happened further? Let’s dive deeper.

The San Diego Waves’ coach didn’t comment on the incident

San Diego Waves manager Casey Stoney was also asked about giving her opinion on Alex Morgan receiving a challenge in the penalty box. However, she chose not to comment on the refereeing decisions, even though her team suffered other referring controversies during the game too. Instead, she said, “I’m not gonna give the league any more of my money”.

The 41-year-old coach was seemingly under the impression that her comment could lead to a fine from the NWSL. Hence, this forced Casey Stoney to maintain her silence. She didn’t want any unsolicited trouble, unlike Alex Morgan, who is now stuck in the middle of an embarrassing situation. Nevertheless, let’s see what developments unfold surrounding this incident in the coming days.
