Abby Wambach Interview on Substance Abuse Admission

[@peaceharmony4115]

Respect. Absolute respect. Wambach was not only a great athlete -- hands down the best female striker the game has ever had -- but she also has genuine humility, gratitude, and the courage to speak openly about her demons.

[@aliya6577]

Such an incredible woman and athlete. I don't care what the haters say, you don't have to like her but you can't deny her courage and her pure skill. What a woman

@@highlyfavored2434 I don't take anything from her life, because I've lived far longer than she has, and have done more than kick a soccer ball or butt it with my head. Get off the hero worship shit, "double M". I loved watching her play, but that's as far as I'm going to go.

[@aaaAAA-um9bb]

She is truly a brave woman she owns up to her mistakes that most of us can’t do and I respect her for that.

[@BlueMoonCityzen]

never mind *man

[@BigDaddy-xx1gk]

Lots of people confront their problems and own up to their mistakes. She was born into a family of privilege, and had natural athletic gifts, which she used to her benefit. Good for her, but you don't have to make her sound like fucking Gandhi. He was a truly brave person. She has about as much bravery as most of us. She's just a person, that's all. Terrific former soccer player, but just a person.

Shirley Scott *man

[@aeiresslumpkin4866]

She’s famous, she doesn’t need to do this for publicity. And race has nothing to do with this, so why would you even bring it into the conversation. Yes, people like us, that have the same skin color as us do get targeted and discriminated against more. However other people’s struggles don’t diminish hers. There’s a time and a place for everything, but race wasn’t even a topic in this video so there’s no point in bringing in race and diminishing her struggles and her bravery.

No look at her she's a girly girl 😜

[@spartan7911]

Yes, and so is Robin Roberts

[@BigDaddy-xx1gk]

I loved watching her play soccer. However, she played soccer. It isn't like she was a trauma surgeon who saved lives, or a teacher who educated people, or a nurse, who helped heal others. Let's take it easy on the genuflecting and idolizing. She was a soccer player. Second, she still isn't even 40 years old, so it isn't like she's some wise, sage older person who deserves a great deal of respect for a lifetime of experience. These millenials nowadays are so enamoured with entertainers, and young people that it's no wonder they find her so worthy of their worship. I , on the other hand, save my admiration for people who have lived longer and done a little more without the spotlight. Again, I loved to watch her play. I just am not going to worship her.

[@liliajoon]

Please remember that millennials are 23-38, please don't generalize. Gen Z is the generation that grew up with smart phones, tablets, and Instagram. Also, super agree on the worshipping! The celebrity culture is so scary sometimes. But I believe it started with generations past, it's not new - just now so compounded with the internet.
