Arizona Cardinals players Zach Ertz and Michael Wilson are watching the FIFA Women's World Cup with a lot of personal interest these days.
"They just reached out and said 'hey, we're doing this with some of the national team players, would you be willing to write it?' And I said, 'Yeah, of course,'" Ertz said."So I ended up writing the little letter. It was definitely heartfelt. Never you want to see your wife cry, but at the same time when your words move her, I guess it's OK."
"The time change is tough, not seeing each other a lot and stuff. But having Zach helps a lot because he had to do pretty much the exact same thing with Julie," Wilson said Friday after training camp practice."So we just support each other and love each other and just are rooted in our loyalty and our trust for each other."
The Cardinals are entrenched at the team hotel and have meetings after practices. But the Women's World Cup is on in the background, as Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is doing his part to help out Ertz and Wilson and the team is on board in support the U.S. women."I think that both of those women might be better athletes than the guys we got wearing red and white and black in there," Gannon joked."But no, the team is excited for those guys.
