Every organization behind any sport should focus more on raising talent rather than sucking out money from the players. The rising monetary issue isn’t a new thing. It was also there when?Alex Morgan?used to play soccer at her high school.

63% of the school sports budgets are stagnant or decreasing, and 24% of the high schools don’t offer?sports. While being interested in sports, 42% of families are not able to afford the cost. This is a major issue for the future of the USWNT. Every legend was once an amateur who used to play soccer on his or her school premises. If nobody plays because of the affordability, then there won’t be any players representing the nation in the future.

It’s pretty brave of?Morgan?to address all the issues with no fear on her face. Even though she knows that this can be dangerous, she cares more about the sport and its future than her own.

Misogyny is pretty common everywhere. This has even led to the downfall of a lot of female players, both physically and mentally. The way Alex Morgan stands up for the helpless is a symbol of a true legend that would be inspiring the future generation for a long time.
