Headlines: Croix Bethune to miss rest of season after off-field injury (Soccer 09/05)

Morning Footy: A soccer show from CBS Sports Golazo Network

The Morning Footy crew react to the devastating news that NWSL rookie-standout Croix Bethune has suffered a season ending injury after throwing out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals baseball game. She just won a Gold Medal at the Olympics with the USWNT and also tied the single-season assists record previously held only by Tobin Heath. With 7 games left in the season, she was bound to break said record and was a shoe-in for Rookie of the Year. A terrible injury not only for Croix, but for the fans of the game as well as the Washington Spirit who currently sit second in the standings and a front runner to win the NWSL title this season.

Morning Footy is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
