lesbian mafia is hellbent on kicking her off the USWNT. Maybe we need two teams.

Rapinoe needs to be exorcized like the demon she is. Her presence on the national stage is an impediment to moving forward more than anything Korbin can post.




Dude, step back from the keyboard

You are way too angry about this.
I am angry that the story didn't end with the apology

removing Albert from the squad but she will be 'available' to play in the tournament. My guess is she will remain available but will not play at all.

I have not heard any mention of Eva Gaetino in this controversy at all, which is good, but I hope that she is not being drawn into it. As a former teammate at ND and current teammate at PSG I suspect that she is and, as a first time national time member, she just wants to make a good impression with the powers-that-be.
Hopefully that is not the case. We will see. At this point I

am ready for the prior generation to move on, and I would add Horan to that, She is the captain, and her response is an utter failure of leadership in my opinion. Yes, they needed to address the situation, but it has been completely one-sided. Morgan too. She's living off of past glories. I would like them all to go away. some getting swept up unfortunately but bring in more youth and reset.

Regarding Horan, she's good but not great (imnsho). My stance on that should not surprise anyone. Good but not great for your captain doesn't cut it. Her leadership has not particularly stood out to me, either, but maybe she is very effective behind the scenes. For her handling of this dustup she gets an F from me.
She's now playing so I am assuming this is officially over

now unless she does something stupid on social media.

I am very happy to hear that. She made a mistake, no doubt.

It should be handled. and she needs to do better. I hope that she and everyone can learn from this, grow, do better, and look forward, not backward.

Thank you for the reply, I am running around and hadn't seen the current status.
I should clarify: she's "available" per Kilgore *

according to SportingNews and the game does not start until 12:30 pm.

Based on her performance in W Gold Cup I am inferring that she is not starting due to this controversy until someone says otherwise.
They will deserve whatever they get. Their priorities are

be scrutinized by a review board for possible offense to anyone. And if any post was deemed offensive in any way, then remove the person. No apologies can suffice.

Or, we can move forward. Which do people want? In many ways the USWNT is lucky this has stayed quiet since the initial dust-up. Lots of media covered the story and the apology and let it go at that. But then it continues to percolate under the radar with the possible removal. They remove her it will blow up big time. Do they want that?

Again, it may be we need two teams, not one. If they remove her we may see that happen with politicians getting involved.
