“Players Should Be Able to Choose”: USWNT Star Alex Morgan Voices Opinion on NWSL Draft 2022

As San Diego Wave and Angel City FC prepare for their debuts next season, the NWSL is taking some exciting turns. Moreover, many players are switching clubs, as the two new teams are on the hunt to sign renowned talent. Notably, San Diego Wave made a penultimate move when they signed Alex Morgan, bringing home the two-time World Cup winner.

However, she recently spoke about the players needing a chance to select their teams. With many teams picking up the players of their liking, Morgan thinks players should instead pick their teams.

Alex Morgan suggests a new plan

The draft system is prevalent in most of the sports in the United States of America. The teams select different players from colleges or schools in a bid to strengthen their squad. Notably, the top prospects are ranked from the number one position, with different teams selecting players for their sides. However, Morgan opened up about the players needing a chance to prove themselves alone while respecting the draft decisions.

“Even though players should be able to choose where they play(that discussion is for another day…) I want to wish all the players luck who entered the 2022 NWSL College draft! Although having a team bet on you by being drafted is an achievement in itself, the greatest thing you can do is bet on yourself. Believing in your abilities on the field is why you will get so far in this sport,” said Morgan.

Indeed, her point sounds valid for most people as it helps players take control of their own destiny. While Morgan spoke about the draft rules, the spotlight still shines over her move to the San Diego Wave.
