Portland, Or - Portland Thorns rookie Madison Winter reportedly found out that she’s been traded to Sky Blue FC when she performed the mandated Tik-Tok mirror wipe meme for the NWSL opening weekend brought to you by Secret deodorant.
“I thought that when I did that I would show up in a Thorns kit,” stated Winter to The Nutmeg News. “But apparently I’ve been traded to Sky Blue.”
Sources with the Thorns state that they figured that Winter would find out one way or the other, but that having her show up in Sky Blue kit would be a fun way to find out that she would not be playing for the Thorns this season.
“We’ve had a lot of players leave the team this year,” stated one anonymous staff member. “This made the experience a lot more fun for everyone involved.”
For her part, Winter stated that she was excited to play for Sky Blue, but still wondered if the way in which she was traded was appropriate.
“I suppose it’s all part of being a professional but I find the whole thing very weird,” stated Winter.
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Winter finds out that she was released from Sky Blue by trying to wipe on the mirror in her room in Utah.
