MEXICO CITY -- American-born Aaliyah Farmer asked to be released from her team in Mexico's top women's soccer league after just one year because she was subjected to harassment in the country, UANL Tigres coach Pedro Losa said Wednesday. Losa did not provide details about the type of harassment Farmer said she faced. The 22-year-old was born in California but has Mexican descent and plays for the country's national team. She was released earlier this week and signed a three-year contract with the Chicago Stars of the National Women's Soccer League.
A decade before emerging as a star for Monterrey (commonly known as Rayadas), Burkenroad was living in a car by a beach during her junior year of high school. She had bounced around between hotels and spare rooms across San Diego as housing became an obstacle for the teenager and her single father, who struggled with mental health issues and finding work. During this time, Christina searched for comfort in unhealthy behaviors like drinking and drugs.
