'Wow' - Alex Morgan's ESPYs Outfit Is Going Viral
Former USWNT soccer player Alex Morgan made quite the fashion statement at the 2025 ESPY Awards on Wednesday night.
Morgan was honored with the Icon Award during the 2025 ESPYS, which recognized her incredible career and significant impact on the world of sports. She wasn't the only notable athlete who received this award Wednesday night. The two-time World Cup champion shared the stage with WNBA legend Diana Taurasi.
"We're standing on the shoulders of giants, and this is a huge tribute to them as much as us," Morgan said. "So, to the women before us, it's because of you that we never have to apologize for speaking up or for fighting to raise the bar. It's because of you that we have no limits."
While fans appreciated Morgan's speech, it was her dress that truly grabbed everyone's attention.
Morgan, 36, wore a stunning silver and black dress that left some people speechless. Others were just praising the 2012 Olympic gold medalist.
"The best!! She's an icon," one fan said.
"Mother is mothering," a second fan commented.
"She looks so good ugh," another fan wrote on X.
"Alex Morgan is a generational talent," a social media user said.
Morgan played her final professional match with the San Diego Wave on Sept. 8, 2024. That being said, she's best known for her run with the national team.
"I grew up on this team, it was so much more than soccer," Morgan said. "It was the friendships and the unwavering respect and support among each other, the relentless push for global investment in women's sports, and the pivotal moments of success both on and off the field. I am so incredibly honored to have borrowed the crest for more than 15 years. I learned so much about myself in that time and so much of that is a credit to my teammates and our fans. I feel immense pride in where this team is headed, and I will forever be a fan of the USWNT. My desire for success may have always driven me, but what I got in return was more than I could have ever asked and hoped for."
We can't wait to see what's next for Morgan.'Wow' - Alex Morgan's ESPYs Outfit Is Going Viral first appeared on The Spun on Jul 17, 2025

SafeSport Center opens search for new CEO
The U.S. Center for SafeSport posted the opening for a new chief executive officer on Thursday, hoping to find a leader to steer the agency into a new era after several troubled years as a start-up. The center, a non-profit that opened in 2017 and is charged with handling sex-abuse cases in Olympic sports, hired consulting firm Korn Ferry to lead the search and work with a search committee made of center board members and advisors. 'This is more than a job search. It is a reflection of our values and the people we are accountable to — our staff, athletes, and the broader sport community," said Board Vice Chair and search committee lead Chicka Elloy. April Holmes stepped away from her duties as board chair to serve as interim CEO in place of Ju'Riese Colon while the search takes place. The center parted ways with Colon in April, not long after Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, began querying the center when details emerged about its hiring of an investigator who would later be charged with rape in a case that dated to his time before he joined the center and was working as an officer for the Allentown, Pennsylvania, police department. The center, which also opened a search for a new chief financial officer, said Korn Ferry 'is currently conducting organizational assessments and confidential outreach to identify candidates who exemplify both executive acumen and a people-first philosophy.' The job description said the center was looking for someone with a 'deep understanding of the sports ecosystem and/or experience working in fields related to abuse prevention, compliance, or athlete advocacy.' ___

The live streams will be shown on the @MLS, @InterMiamiCF and @AppleTV TikTok accounts, starting with Inter Miami's second Leagues Cup match against Necaxa on Aug. 2. The other three live stream dates will be announced at a later time.

Apple also said the Oct. 25, 2024 match was their most widely viewed sporting event. 'After the overwhelming success of Player Spotlight: Messi, which delivered our biggest-ever live U.S. sports audience on TikTok, we knew we had to bring it back,' said Rollo Goldstaub, Global Head of Sports Partnerships at TikTok, in a statement.

The awkward truth behind the biggest moment of Daniel Dubois's career
In many ways, Oleksandr Usyk's rematch with Daniel Dubois this weekend is the natural next step through a heavyweight landscape that has been as scenic over the last two years as it has in decades. The simplest sell for this bout is that Usyk is the unified champion and Dubois is the IBF title holder; all of the belts, as ever, 'must' be unified (even though they never stay that way), with the winner at Wembley Stadium set to be crowned undisputed champion. Undisputed status eluded all heavyweights for 24 years until Usyk outpointed Tyson Fury 14 months ago, yet the unbeaten Ukrainian only held that status for a matter of weeks before he gave up the IBF belt; in honouring a rematch with Fury, Usyk allowed interim IBF champion Dubois to be elevated, and the young Briton retained the official version of the belt with a demolition of Anthony Joshua in September. • Follow Usyk vs Dubois 2 live with • Purchase Usyk vs Dubois 2 on DAZN now These are the basic facts, which position Usyk, 38, and Dubois, 27, as opponents in London this weekend. There is also their history: a unified title fight two years ago, when Usyk climbed off the canvas to stop Dubois in Poland, with the latter's camp swearing that the low blow against the southpaw had in fact been a legal body shot. But to dive deeper is to realise that Usyk vs Dubois 2 is actually a somewhat awkward match-up. Dubois is an evolved version of the competitor who arguably threatened Usyk in one major moment in their first fight – but otherwise struggled to put a dent in the former cruiserweight king – and a victory for the home fighter would perhaps be the 'better' outcome for the division. Usyk may well retire regardless of the result, but a win for Dubois would feel more like a changing of the guard and allow fresh match-ups, after four years in which Usyk's bouts have solely come against Fury, Joshua and Dubois, all of whom he will have boxed twice by the end of this week. Yet that recent history is also why a victory for Dubois might lack some weight. Joshua got two stabs at defeating Usyk, one in 2021 and one in 2022, and was beaten across the 12-round distance both times. Fury also had two goes and got closer than 'AJ' to accomplishing the goal, yet the 'Gypsy King' was still outpointed last May and in December. The decisions to make those rematches were understandable, and although the same applies this weekend, there is a feeling that is difficult to shake: that the British battalion will seemingly get chance after chance until one can finally beat Usyk. And if Dubois does at Wembley, what will it mean at this point? Of course, a win against a man who doesn't know how to lose would be impressive, especially if Dubois can secure a stoppage. Yet Usyk's legacy as a two-weight undisputed champion and the greatest fighter of his generation is secure. And at 38, if the former Olympic champion gets old overnight as fighters often do, won't that asterisk forever be pinned above a hypothetical Dubois win? There is also the matter that Dubois had the chance at a fresh match-up in February, only to withdraw from his planned title defence against Joseph Parker on two days' notice, citing illness. There was the opportunity to reschedule that bout after Parker crushed Martin Bakole, but attention conveniently turned to Usyk. Understandably so, of course, especially in a business like boxing. A shot at redemption, undisputed status, and the biggest payday of Dubois's career were always going to trump what was on offer in a title defence against Parker. That's just how this sport works. And an adjacent issue to all this, so to speak, is the knock-on effect that a Dubois win could have on Fury vs Joshua. Dubois could trump Fury and Joshua as the best heavyweight in Britain right now, if he does what the veteran pair could not. Some would argue that Dubois's present superiority over Joshua was confirmed with his performance against the former champion in September, but there would surely be no room for debate if Dubois were to leave Wembley victorious on Saturday. The issue here is that the lustre of Fury vs Joshua, which has already diminished over the last six years, would suffer again. Not that Dubois will care. And so here we are, on the cusp of an undisputed heavyweight title fight and rematch that makes all the sense in the world, yet which also carries an awkward edge. Still, Dubois has the power to smooth out that edge on Saturday. If he does, there will ironically be nothing smooth to the scene at all; it will be more destruction from 'Dynamite' at Wembley, and an image of Usyk that no one has seen before. Therein lies the true intrigue of Usyk vs Dubois 2.
