If the NWSL wants to keep its star players in the league they better make sure they good hotel accomodations.

The Thorns stayed at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Kansas City last week ahead of their game against FC Kansas City and both Sinclair and Morgan complained on Twitter that the hotel had bed bugs.

".@NWSL there's no other way to address continuing problems. Hotels have been unacceptable. For ex. :Bed bugs/mold @ Adams Mark Hotel in KC," Morgan wrote. She later deleted the tweet.

Sinclair's tweet warned other NWSL teams that they should be wary of the Adam's Mark Hotel.

Alex Morgan is entirely and exactly in the place where she will be most taken care of. Possibly to a couple multiples beyond her talent.

(The comments in that article include a few rounds of "oh, she still plays here?" Actually, given most of her issues the last two seasons involve injuries, I'm starting to wonder if she overtrains... to compensate for all the appearances etc.)

The league requires a minimum "3-star hotel" be arranged by the home team. Usually, bed bugs shouldn't be a problem. Too bad FCKC doesn't have more help from Sporting. Too bad they weren't paying attention to other things that this particular hotel had kept sort of quiet. http://www.kshb.com/news/kansas-city-he ... violations

I believe Christine Sinclair made the initial Twitter complaint. Morgan backs her up, and naturally on this side of the 49th, all the attention is on Morgan.

Oy. And vey.

To be fair (and, yes, Ms. Morgan's celebrity outstrips her recent production, but that says as much about all of us as it does about her), bedbugs and mold are no bueno for anybody, much less an alleged professional league.
