Here's a message from Heather Mitts:

I am sure all of you are as shocked as I am about the sudden news that our league will not go forward. It comes at a horrible time as the World Cup is only days away. We were banking on the success of the US in the WWC to help solidify another season for the league. We unfortunately can not look forward to that now.

I just want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and from the rest of the team as well. It makes me so proud that although we remained in last place all season long, we ended second in the league in attendance behind the Washington Freedom. You all have been so supportive, and we appreciate it so very much. You are true fans inside and out. I have to also say thank you to all the WUSA employees, coaches, GMs, and sponsors. We couldn't have had three amazing seasons without their hard work and efforts. I am sure they are as shocked and disappointed as the players are right now.

It breaks my heart that we couldn't do more to make this last. I wish that millions of aspiring professional soccer players could still have our league to aim towards. Soccer is growing here in the US but it still is a long way away from where it needs to be to succeed here in the states.

I had the opportunity to play a sport that I loved for a living for three amazing seasons. I was extremely lucky! I will always cherish the memories! Hopefully I will be a part of the National Team in the near future and you all will continue to support me. Thank you so much. Everything happens for a reason! Maybe this is opening a door for something else down the road. A bigger and better women's league and for soccer to grow! Take Care and Go Charge. ~Heather
