"The off-field stuff is what is most meaningful and I think what I'm most proud of leaving this team and leaving the game," she said. "We've been a very special generation of players, but I think it says a lot about us that everything we've accomplished on the field pales in comparison to what we've done off the field."
"I'm very excited to continue to be a part of the growth of women's sport, not just football. I think we are at a very special time. I want to use my platform and my leverage, but now I'll have more time to do that."
