As one of the Pride veterans you’ve been an important part of this team’s heart and soul since the beginning. You are a force to be reckoned with on the field and an absolute inspiration off it. I’ve lost a lot of people to cancer and to see you beat it, walk back out onto the field, proudly wearing the captain’s armband for the rest of that game – that moment meant more to me than I can put into words. Besides that your passion for cooking has actually made me try tofu, so I can’t wait for that cookbook to come out! This year should have been your comeback, and I’m sorry it didn’t happen that way – one thing I am sure of is that you’ll come back even stronger in 2021 and help the Pride go to the top of the league. Can’t wait to see you wear purple again! - Dani
You are the embodiment of what Orlando Pride is. Your strength and resilience is so inspiring. As one of the OGs, your leadership means so much to the players and the fans and I hope you know that. This was supposed to be your comeback season but obviously, things didn’t go as planned. However, I have no doubt that you will come back stronger and ever next season. I am so honoured to have someone as amazing as you represent this club. -- Myra
You are one of the most amazing and inspiring athletes and players and I am so glad the Pride has you on the team. On and off the pitch you always show so much passion and resilience. Seeing that you beat breast cancer was so powerful and inspiring. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and watching you beat it and come back just a few months later was not only inspiring me, but to my mom as well. You are such a positive person on and off the pitch and an amazing leader on this team. Please keep sharing more vegan recipes with us as I am in dire need of some new ones during quarantine! Thank you for always being you and I cannot wait to see you playing in purple again! – Danielle, the other vegan Harry Styles fan
You’re such a fundamental part of this team, on the field and off. The absolutely amazing amount of resilience, perseverance, and dedication that you showed in your return last season was truly something to behold. I’m so proud to consider you one of my role models and to say how much you inspire me. Even though you obviously weren’t able to play this season as you had hoped, I know you’ll be using that same resilience and perseverance to come back better than ever when the NWSL returns for real. I can tell how much you love this team, and I can’t wait to watch you rock the Orlando jersey again! Sending lots of love! --Ana Lise
Toni, as a player who’s been here since the very beginning, you’re one of the founding blocks of this team and it would not be complete without you. Your story is so inspiring and I’m beyond proud to be a fan of yours and so glad you represent my favorite club. Your resilience in your fight against breast cancer and coming back as quickly as you did speaks volumes about your character, strength, and dedication to this team. I’m so moved by your journey and honored to have seen it unfold and result in greatness. Even though 2020 didn’t look the way we had hoped, I can’t wait to see you take the field again in 2021 and achieve even more greatness. You have a great legacy here in Orlando and even within the women’s football community altogether. I’m so honored you play for my favorite team. Also, can we get Toni Pressley Snapchat takeovers again soon?! They were one of my favorite things and we haven’t gotten one since 2017. Please, I’m literally begging for another one. - Jill
Toni, thank you for being such an incredible human, for always bringing your best to the game, for your genuine love and dedication to this team. Pride is so lucky to have you on their team, and I feel privileged to be able to watch you play the game you love so much. Seeing how hard you fought last year to come back as quickly as possible after going through a hard time, makes me so emotional. I know how hard and excited you guys were this year and to bring your best and make us all proud, even though things didn’t go as planned just know we are all proud of the hard work you guys have put in and I know it will be worth it in the end. I cannot wait to see you wearing that Pride jersey with literally Pride and happiness because I know how much this team means to you. Você è maravilhosa, e o Brasil já te adotou como parte do nosso paìs. - Georgia
You are such an integral part of this team and the dedication you show towards it makes this team and its fans feel like a family that I can rely on to bring me joy. Seeing you beat breast cancer and coming back to play not that long afterwards was amazing and showed just how resilient and strong you are. It was so inspiring seeing you back on the field and donning the captain’s armband during the last home game, and it will always be one of my favorite memories and I am forever glad I was able to witness it. I cannot wait until we are able to see you back in purple again, hopefully sooner rather than later. (Side note, your puppies are so cute!! Please tell them I love them.) – Juliana
You are my favorite player. I followed you from the Dash to the Pride. It is tough to not be able to watch you in this tournament. You are so resilient and I know you will help lead this team when the season starts.
Our City Our Pride, since 2016. We started this together and we will stay in this together. You are our team. These supporters love this team from all around the world. It is so incredible to witness. We hope everyone on the team is safe and hearthy. We look forward to the day when we can all be in the stadium again. The Crown
You're one of the OGs! Your strength is inspiring, your passion and professionalism are to be respected and I just love to see how you've embraced so much of the Brazilian culture. Trust me, we have embraced you just as much! Thank you for being such a role model and inspiration to us all!
