England goalkeeper Mary Earps is calling Nike’s decision to not sell her jerseys during the Women’s World Cup “hugely disappointing.” After trying to negotiate behind closed doors for months, Earps went public ahead of England’s opener Saturday against Haiti in Brisbane. “I can’t really sugar-coat this in any way, so I am not going to try,” Earps said.
Mary Earps is England’s vice captain for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, and The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper in the World. Ahead of the start of the tournament this week, she reflects on her career as a Lioness thus far.
