LYNN WILLIAMS on her shock trade to Seattle and her message to Gotham FC fans

[@emmabenjamin2932]

It’s so funny to me how Sam has connections to all the breaking news lately - Lynn, Becky, Kristie.

[@kalmenbarkin5708]

Almost like she was one of the best players in the world and is friends with all the best players from that era

[@WomensGameMiB]

we can't wait to watch Lynn in Seattle ❤

[@alisamarotta2352]

Going to hate seeing Lynn leave the NJ area ....really became part of the community...All the best with everything 🎉

[@KingJollyTofu]

Seattle is DEFINITELY having an okay time.

[@piemacri]

Happy to have had Lynn for two seasons at Gotham, Go Bats will forever be her trademark! Maybe this will be my excuse to finally buy and reign jersey. Congrats on both of your weddings!

[@dylanmaxey2531]

Happy for Lynn, now she is so much closer to family! Plus a closer flight to Australia! EDIT: Seattle is a great place to live, lots of fun things to do just with a more "chill" vibe.

[@clairesarson3622]

I have taken the 2-hour direct flight from Seattle to Fresno round trip every other weekend for years to see my family! Welcome home Lynn :)

[@erin-k1t]

Marley asked me for directions at the semifinal game last month and I was so star struck hahaha Excited for Lynn and for Seattle!

[@dhagerty]

This is a huge, huge gain for Seattle. Wishing her all the best on her new team. I hope they know what they're getting and give her the chance to do what she does best - score goals.

[@jocelynehoughton8277]

Welcome to Seattle, Lynn! We are STOKED to have you!! Can't wait for next season 🎉💙✨️

[@russhammond8781]

As with all of your pods the interviews are awesome. A fantastic blend of both on the field and off the field life! Thank you!

[@USWNT.REIGN.T.V]

IM SO EXCITED FOR HER TO COME TO THE REIGN. Excited to see what she will do with the reign! She’s such a technical and talented player and I think we need more people like her on that team. Also excited to see what she will bring to the front line and how she’s gonna work with other players.

[@wesleyholmes]

SOOOO EXCITED to see Lynn and all her fire up here in the PNW! will definitely help us get back on track

[@2195brodie]

So excited about you playing in Seattle. I'm live 6 hours away in BC Canada, so I can come watch 1 of your games.

[@khamel45]

As a Seattle fan, I was so happy when I heard about this trade.

[@np1376]

Going to miss Lynn at Gotham, but I'll root for her on Seattle regardless.

[@japeri171]

I hope Lynn is successful in her new endeavors, both on and off the field.Happy marriage and good work in Seattle.

[@faceymagee1283]

I can’t wait to see Lynn in Seattle. She will thrive. Great team players there!!! Fishlock will love her!! 🎉

[@feliciad733]

Congrats to Seattle!

[@ccw9091]

So happy for Lynn to come to Seattle! See you too soon Sammy!

[@01FozzyS]

Congrats to both events,Lynn! At least you'll be closer to home. Enjoy your honeymoon!

[@justafan323]

Come on Sam!! Help her move!! That’s what friends are for!!

[@daynalynn6910]

Omg did we just see the first limit to Sam's love for Lynn 😂

[@ginporte4764]

So excited! Love you both and Becky!!!❤❤❤

[@mckennagaddis662]

She's going to LOVE THE rivalry matches between Seattle and Portland at Providence Park and Lumen Field!!

[@karisalmon3234]

I am SO pumped!!! I am only an hour away from Lumen Field where I will get to see Lynn play!!!

[@treycarmichael3605]

Sam do YOU have any BIG NEWS for us this week?!!! You seem to be in the epicenter of LOTS at the moment!

[@dennisnguyen8105]

Will miss you but I understand your desire to be on the West Coast and of course, Seattle is closer to Australia. Go Bats!

[@oshea03]

Lynn Williams wins championships on every team she's on! Seattle, you got a great one. Treat her well ❤

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Sam and Lynn. Congratulations on getting a move that helps you in your personal life. I was surprised to see this first on another channel. I commented before that Aussie based players might provide an opportunity for an expansion team in Hawaii. Happy Christmas and New Year to you and anyone reading this comment. Question for Sam. Should your favourite Yorkshire pudding be included in Christmas dinner? It is a cause of controversy in UK We need to get it settled in case auntie Sammie comes for a future seasonal family visit.

[@cindyloupas3108]

I wish you were coming to Angel City instead but I am happy for you to be close to your family. Also, many Congrats on your Wedding.

[@julialvarado9770]

We’re going to miss Lynn at Gotham. But Go bats and go Lynn

[@kinetickatana]

Good Luck in Seattle Lynn!!!

[@Jay85_38]

Congrats on everything Lynn!!

[@CtxAR]

Thanks for all you did Lynn🫡🫡 I’ll always keep supporting! #onceabatalwaysabat 🦇

[@natrisp6809]

So exciting for the newly married Lynn - congratulations 🙌

[@DarbyEwing]

My good vibe of the month! ❤

[@lucy.whitaker]

Please make an episode of Lynn and Sam road trip from New Jersey to Seattle.

[@rebekahroulierlmhc]

Lynn fan wherever ❤

[@yadthink]

Congrats to Lynn on her wedding! Random question: Do NWSL players receive money to help relocate when a trade happens?

[@jaimet574]

Sending ❤s to ya Lynn.

[@trygginoregon]

Just an aside, The last time I moved from coast coast, the moving company told me... sure we can put your car in the moving truck too. All in one! Incredibly convenient. Hope you don't stress.

[@kycone]

You’re not actually supposed to 🤣 they have many options for pulling the car behind a U-Haul.

[@johnflynn7754]

Lynn should call local Two Men and a Truck. They have an option called Value Flex which is a pod option where the pick up a deliver!!

[@AngelCityFClovr]

exciting!!!!!

[@MatthewMcNutt-iz6zu]

Greetings. Speaking personally, it's crucial for Seattle to cast aside the incongruous absence of success last season and re-establish themselves as the dominant force in the hyper-competitive NWSL. I hope Megan Rapinoe is buzzing with fervent anticipation regarding this acquisition.

[@davidvandruff9368]

Lynn, congratulations on your marriage. Best wishes! Is Marley a soccer player as well?

[@davidt3956]

Moving across the from Australia. Fun. 🤣

[@draiajackson9971]

This maybe good Seattle is rebuilding right now.

[@anoopgopikala8237]

Nice ❤❤❤

[@BMarie-hr2md]

Lynn a great way to move your home from NY to Seattle is ABF Freight - UPack. I used them in 2016 much better rate than Pods and all those moving companies. I currently reside in Seattle and can't wait for your first game. It will be my first professional Women's football game!

[@pilots85]

glad you are closer to family but Seattle? As a Thorns fan, I never want The Reign to get better!!!!

[@Whatever_Clever]

I hate packing/unpacking so so much that I would seriously consider buying a luxury RV.

[@carolinedemitchell2646]

I think I'm busy that day 😂

[@margaretsteigerwald1124]

Gotham's loss. Seattle's win. Good luck,Lynn! What a great new chapter!

[@margaretsteigerwald1124]

And, BTW, why is it still so problematic to have the new employers in women's sports pack up her NY apt and move it across country? C'mon!! Do you think men's sports figures at this incredible level have to move themselves? Nonsense! Is this the next hurdle women athletes have to jump? I suppose when she's picked for the 2028 Olympics she'll still have to pay her way.

[@gracehue8]

Pack your raincoat Lynn & let’s go Reign!

[@danielleizzy17]

Do they help yous pay for some moving expenses?

[@Doninmemphis]

Always a battie! Good luck Lynn!!

[@BMarie-hr2md]

It may be different for you since you're a recognizable sports star. Seattle is known for its "Seattle Freeze" people are cold as ice here. And, it's way too white (prepare yourself for culture shock).

[@TheHillsTrailBrothers]

Seattle people are stuck on themselves pretty much.

[@justafan323]

Lynn looks and sounds tired
