I am a writer. I could not afford to take 15 months off from my writing career to play detective.
The next day I was put on paid leave from my new job at Louisiana State University. This is very painful to me, though once again I understand the circumstances in which my employers find themselves in light of these actions taken against me.
I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special.
