U.S. women's national team (USWNT) and Orlando Pride forward Alex Morgan has admitted there is a lack of trust between the National Women's Soccer League and its players.
The NWSL Players Association (NWSLPA) said they will extend their talks with the league into next week as they demand changes amid the ongoing fallout from several instances of abuse across the league.
Morgan has been outspoken in her criticism of the league, particularly their lack of intervention when abuse against her former coach Paul Riley was reported earlier this year.
"I feel optimistic with what information [the NWSLPA] has given me," Morgan said on Tuesday. "However, the demands that the PA has put forth for the NWSL to commit to and to approve have still not been taken care of, and there has been an extension. So that in itself says that the NWSL still is being a little too reactive.
"I know that there are a lot of things that need to change but we need to start building that trust, and at this point it's just not there yet."
