    Jill Loyden retired from the USWNT. As you may recall, she lost her sister to domestic violence about two years ago. She believes that Solo should be suspended until her adjudication is complete.

    Here's Loyden's editorial from USA Today:

    I wish she would have done both separately. She did herself a disservice by releasing both the retirement news and this whole Solo hoopla at the same time. We all know which one people are going to focus on. As it is, even in her retirement, she is being overshadowed by solo, as she was in her entire NT career
