Here is the entire Q&A Chris Wingert had on Facebook today. It took a very long time reformatting for the forum so I apologize if anything is messed up.
Stephanie Boston:
No question, just wanted to say thank you for your years with RSL. You are a true professional & all around good person. Best of luck. You Will be missed.
Danielle Wiker Nielsen:
How much do you miss Utah and RSL already?! What will you miss the most? I will certainly miss watching you at the games, and I still plan on wearing my "Wingert" jersey! Haha.
- Chris Wingert: Thanks so much Danielle! I miss the people the most, that's a no brainer! Appreciate message
Dustin Troutman: It is said that we the Americans are not born into playing football "soccer" that this is something we don't live buy and thus we are not worthy competitors when put up against the rest of the word so sir are we the USA a force to be recognized. Your thought and thanks for your time with RSL
- Chris Wingert: Of course, as kids, we aren't surrounded by only soccer, like the rest of the world. With that being said, more american children are playing soccer than ever before and our league and our country are way beyond where we have been in the past.
Adolfo Ruiz:
Good luck in NYC we miss you already
Pj Murray

I know you have heard it over and over but you will be missed here. RSL isn't going to be the same anymore. Good luck with NYCFC. I am sure it's nice to be closer to your family again, just don't ever forget about your RSL family.
Eric Gordon Ramsay III
Who wins in tennis you vs dad?
- Chris Wingert He wins prob 4 of 5 sets still
- Chris Wingert beat him good the other day tho
- Eric Gordon Ramsay III When was last time the islanders shut out the Rangers ?
- Eric Gordon Ramsay III Wow! Beating your dad is a tuff thing to do. Congrats! Ok, here's the question of the day, who would you rather face: your dad in tennis or Fabian Castillo in soccer?
Pete Williams
I see all my soccer questions have been answered. So here's a different one: read any good books lately?
- Chris Wingert its been a little while! i need a new one! any reco's?
- Pete Williams: Depends on what you like to read! I have been reading a lot of "Science Fiction Megapacks" on my Kindle lately, which are great if you like SF short stories, because they only cost 99 cents, have 25 short stories in each, and are easily digestible if you're short on time. So, check em out I guess!Also just got done reading "An Army at Dawn," which is a great book about the US Army in the North African campaign, if you dig military stuff.Thanks for the reply and good luck in N.Y! Just not when you're playing us, haha.
Maria Lindsay
I never had the pleasure of meeting you (too shy), but loved cheering @RiOT & tweeting you (mariaelena726). Just want you to know how very much we'll miss you in UT come March & appreciate all the special things you did for us amongst them being an outstanding player!! cry emoticon
- Chis Wingert: Thanks so much Maria! really appreciate that! See you soon

Miles Dunn:
'Who is the toughest player you've ever had to defend?
- Chris Wingert: The toughest player to defend 1v1 the past couple seasons is probably fabian castillo
Heidi Reese de Roda:
