What a week it has been for Trinity Rodman!
And she caps it off with a goal as the captain of her country today.
Yeah, I just kept trying to answer one question.
It was, is my legacy done at Spirit?
Am I done with Spirit as a whole?
I think there's a lot more I want to do, if that's community, if that's on field.
And I love DC, the community, the fan base is everything to me.
And I wasn't ready to give that up yet.
Yeah, obviously it's been a roller coaster of emotions through it because there's one side of wanting to be paid well, wanting to stay in the U.S.
and represent my country, but also there's the other aspect, the other piece of we want to get a lot more players paid this and to just continue to raise the bar for that because, again, celebrating me, but at the same time it's a big moment for soccer as a whole and another stepping stool for
another opportunity for somebody else and hopefully numerous amount of people around the league.
Yeah, this is new territory.
What? I want to talk about corner kicks this entire fucking time. Perfect, because I don't take them. So I'm going to just see what happens. My first corner kick was in the championship four years into my pro. Stop. I literally walk up to the corner and I was like, what are we doing? Championship, we're losing. There's like a couple minutes left. I'm standing there like...
Everyone's looking like, no, stop.
Oh my gosh. I cried. I like collapsed and cried, but I don't know. I feel like there's like no true celebration afterwards because Hey, you got to go back to your season and under BSO. So we celebrated like the night of
partied with our coaches and our staff and everything that was fun and I didn't take the medal off even the flight home like it wasn't it was glued to my neck when did you first take it off probably when I went to sleep when I got home because I was like okay that's a lot but even through security I was like trying to wear it and they were like no I was like oh
I'm like staring at it through the thing. Wait, where did you put it when you went to bed? I have this little case that I got when we won in 2021 for my ring, but it's like big. And so I just put it in there. Hopefully it's still there. I haven't checked on it in a minute. Wait, what? I should probably check to see if she's okay.
