Salt Lake City, UT - NWSL Player Carrie Lewis accepted an unread European transfer offer in order to, “get the hell out of here,” as she desperately tried to do anything within her power to leave the country.
ANYWHERE.
“I can’t stay here anymore,” stated Lewis to The Nutmeg News as she packed her bags and booked a flight out of Salt Lake City by the time we interviewed her. “I saw the offer come up in my inbox and I just told my agent to take it. Turns out it was an offer in Estonia. Not sure where that is but it can’t be worse than here. I just can’t deal with this anymore.”
Between the pandemic, the insane conspiracy nuts now haunting our every waking dream, the politics, the rampant sexism, Dell Loy Hansen, the election, the President, and the overt, unending and ever persistent racism, Lewis stated that she feels like she needs a break from the United States.
“It’s too much,” stated Lewis via text. “I saw a lifeboat and I took it. Who knows, maybe if I have a long enough career I can emigrate. I’m not ruling anything out at this point. Do you know how far a EU passport would get me? Amazing.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as former teammate Cheryl Johnson announces that she has accepted an unread offer to play in Iceland.
