Hope Solo continues fight for change with bid for U.S. Soccer presidency

Hope Solo made a name for herself as one of the most accomplished soccer goalkeepers in the world. But she also made headlines for what happened off the field. In her years on the national team, Solo spoke out about coaching decisions. She was suspended for 30 days in 2015. She encouraged teammates to join her in a federal complaint alleging wage discrimination. In 2016, U.S. soccer terminated her contract after she made negative comments about an opposing team at the Rio Olympics. Solo joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss why she's running to lead the U.S. Soccer Federation.

Yes is president, you could allow drinking and driving for all the other little girls growing up like high school kids. You're such a role model. My little dove

[@davidcartagena1272]

So beautiful, what a waste of a woman

[@ronswanson5629]

She has a horrible quick temper she has shown it time and time again. Here's a good idea, put someone who can't control their emotions into a position of power in an organization. What could go wrong.

[@IllinoisStrider]

So she gets a pass for domestic abuse because she's a woman? If a man punched his spouse and his nephew like she did, would he be allowed to run for president of US Soccer?

[@RachelDavis705]

She never punched her spouse - stop spreading fake news. In this case the "domestic violence" was her nephew, who she had a fight with, but she didn't live with him and barely knew him, so yes, it was assault, but calling it a "domestic violence" situation is incredibly misleading.

[@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904]

Rachel Dobbins She beat her spouse and her sister as well as her nephew. Research.

[@SarahDempz]

She didn't punch her husband! She defended herself after her 6.5ft nephew punched her! Stop half reading the news! She knows her stuff and she knows what to do!

[@ohthelovelypoems]

She defended herself! You're spreading false information & because she was outspoken for change & better pay for the women's team she was black balled.

[@giadap9501]

Sarah Dempz thank you!

[@timb9257]

My advice to Hope, organize a women's team and travel to play MLS teams at least once for half the gate and concessions. It would be very popular. Maybe even start a womens MLS league. I would watch.

[@nhuphungnguyendoan233]

I always hope for solo, no matter what, she's still my favorite goalkeeper and I want to see her on pitch more. I love U

[@bosteroyboliviano1445]

Beef sandwich...

[@joejackson9986]

Arby’s

[@vishunte5276]

She is an awful human being, an entitled Karen if there is one. KZbin Search - "HOPE LOST: Hope Solo booked on DWI, child abuse, resisting arrest charges"

[@_JudgeDredd]

The only change she’s fighting for is the right to drink and drive with kids in the car hahahhahaha

[@alexjuarez8395]

Yesssss I love what she trying to do let make a change in us soccer

[@cesarhands2930]

Domestic Abuser!!!

[@davanmani556]

Hope for President 2020.

[@hollowjack8711]

Han Solo is her father

[@michaelcrabtree5750]

No ways

[@scarred10]

I will assume she has no hope of ever becoming that.

[@hamala7437]

Yes she had been through bad time but she tries to overcome and live better avoiding it and not allowing things to affect her. Totally her rights. Will you allow a person to correct his ways

[@adventureproali5704]

Hey hope you are such a strong woman I respected you from.the beginning I myself play football I saw you play in Trinidad where I am from btw i went just to see you play you are passionate about the better quality of football you ate real and you are brave keep it up oh yeah you are beautiful I do have huge crush on you next time you in Trinidad look me up

[@user-wm6zj4eb9t]

Wonderfull time to waiting for you SOLO dream come true hopely ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hier6238]

That guy on equipment all you need are friends a ball and 2 jumpers for goalposts and there you go you can play football.

[@Tony83sthlm]

She can become the head-cleaner in the locker room.

[@afifkamaruddin4099]

Sedapnya suara kakak @ (atau) kak Solo (Malay).Solo sister @ (or) sis your voice is good (English).

[@endicotttyler]

“So, tell me. What’s your running platform?” WELL YA KNOW, WHERE TF MY MONEY IS.

[@darlineenriquez9635]

Just because we are female we are not all soft. Some of us are black and white like males.

[@lukedaikitoo]

in Europe soccer is for everyone. just wanted to point that out since she mentioned that other countries arent the same as the us

[@MandeepKaur-pk5tq]

She’s still the GOAT. Nobody is even close.

[@finleybock6783]

nice job hope solo you should keep on going. I love you as a person

[@michaelmorgan9842]

Abuser

[@darlineenriquez9635]

No one will understand unless your a strong female. It’s so easy to attack a female with a strong personality because it is not the norm. I have this issue myself. Maybe her way of communicating it’s not the best but let’s face it the backlash is not the same if a male would do out. I back you hope

[@afifkamaruddin4099]

& you are so beautiful,strong & wonderful former female An American Soccer Player or Footballer was playing as goalkeeper.

[@Fmontes]

President of CRAZY.

[@CapnBlood]

Why did CBS This Morning stop posting all it's news segments on KZbin and even on it's own website. What's wrong, afraid of getting your news out?

[@r.annrousseau170]

Yawn

[@factorial6909]

Bring charlie rose back!!

[@mojok7070]

She's so hot

[@micahchildress]

Why was there zero mention of her domestic abuse trial? Is this really the person who should be running the U.S. Soccer Association?

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

M C Irrelevant.

[@TokenBlackman7]

@M C - And this is apropos... HOW!?

[@scottcollier5041]

No!!!!

[@unknownismylastname3800]

Domestic abuser lol this so stupid jajaja

[@mars3579]

Why does anyone care about her personal life she will change soccer in America US woman national team 100 time better then men national team but they make one percent of what man make women won World Cup men team won shot she’s the best goal keeper ever in America and the world I am notAmerican or related to her I’m just saying it from soccer perspective I’m not from America and from country to live to watch football

[@ronswanson5629]

Gets arrested for domestic violence, belittles police stating that her necklace is worth more then they make in a year, wants to be a champion for poor people. Lol

[@MandeepKaur-pk5tq]

She came from the bottom, unlike a lot of others.

[@SuAmigoElilegal]

she will never be given that title

[@jonanthony9601]

Hey...I may have man-face, but I don't have man-temper!!! - G. Bundchen

[@derek0452]

She gets my vote. Presidente. Who said domestic violence? All lies.

[@shannonbarry4561]

didn't know you spoke for the people who don't like feminism. I think you mean "I don't like feminism simply...". You're acting like she is such a bad person when you don't even know her and she's not the one who called women worthless.

[@tewodrossamson790]

Still better than karius lol

[@TheBalascas]

What a stupid federation! Call Hope back now! She ist awesome , best goalkeeper in the world, a legend !

[@4Skenderbeu]

US Womens Soccer team lost 5-2 to 14yr old boys FC Dallas team (WHOS NOT EVEN A NATIONAL TEAM) and then went on 60 minutes to complain about equal pay lol... if you want equal pay then u should play against the same opponents what us. men play... theyd get crreeaaammmmed

[@shannonbarry4561]

So what they lost. That has nothing to do with the concept of the wage gap. The wage gap is based upon the concept that the USWNT and USMNT both work hard and deserve equal pay. They both put the effort in. Also, the USWNT has won more title's than the men in the last 10 years.

[@4Skenderbeu]

Mens World Cup made 3.5 B$ and Womens World Cup made 75 mil$ in previous tournaments THATS why men get paid more because they have more viewers (3.2 Billion) just like Rhonda Rousey got payed more in her prime than men AND she was the Main Event but u never heard men complaining about that

[@shannonbarry4561]

You never heard men complain about that because that is one out of thousands of women that got paid more than men. Women have a right to complain about injustices of there payment. Men don't have to complain because they make how much they should.

[@4Skenderbeu]

Shannon Barry what injustices exacly?

[@4Skenderbeu]

Shannon Barry and where?

[@richardgrace4500]

Isn't this the same woman who has had like a dozen domestic abuse cases against her and got a lifetime ban from womens soccer and the u.s womens national team

[@MandeepKaur-pk5tq]

Was she guilty?? NO

[@guillermobarrios8605]

DO you have equal viewership and skill set? Can anyone seriously name a few woman soccer players? No. Until the opposite is true you are not entitled to "equal pay".

[@ridzky123]

Domestic assault
