Ashley Sanchez loves everyone and scored a banger last week. No Latina love this time around on this roster😢

[@candicepark884]

Why did you guys take down the instagram post?

[@raised_by_wolves8105]

Korbin Albert is awesome! So happy to see her chosen for the Olympic team. 👍

[@n00dledancer]

Jenny has a great point, and I definitely don’t think Albert should be off the team forever. I had a feeling Albert would make the cut, but her performances haven’t stood out to me for anything other than her ability to run around a whole lot, and that’s what makes the decision a bit questionable. In terms of the fanbase, I don’t think she’ll be forgiven by a lot of folks (if ever) until she literally faces up to her mistakes. Yes, she’s young, but she’s still an adult and a professional- a disappearing written social media apology and a statement read by team leaders isn’t real accountability.

[@Pumpkin-vg1ur]

I'm pretty sour with USA women soccer and Emma Hayes. She's just one silly straight christian homophobic girl but the organisation behind her are fully grown adults who are endorsing her views by the looks of it. Shame..I hope the gay players in the team are safe and protected.

[@f1l1felftom56]

Albert is selfish she benefits the Equal pay and liking videos hating on the woman who fights for the equal pay

[@hmahdavi]

Even if she had not made those stupid posts, there are several midfielders better qualified than her. The most prominent is Ashley Sanchez.

[@midgebattelle9084]

Jenny. Yes. Korbin qets room to qrow......Emma will see to it.. evolution revolution....

[@redbullpikachu6928]

I know what is really happening! It’s really very simple. It’s just a really bad case of extreme female jealousy!!!! Korbin is MUCH prettier than Morgan, Swanson, Smith, Williamson, etc. So, there is a major effort to put her down! The players from the USWNT see Korbin as a younger and prettier player that will so grab the spotlight! For the straight players they are SO Jealous it’s pathetic!!!! For the gay players they are SO mad that there is NO WAY that Korbin will ever be interested in them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Korbin is an absolute perfect girl!!!!!!! She is the female version of TimTebow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JenniferCole-gk4il]

Yeah beauty is in the eye of beholder so that might be your opinion but not general public. My issue w her is the fact she isn’t that great of a player

[@JenniferCole-gk4il]

And Tim Tebow can’t string a sentence so he might be pretty but he is rather simple

[@redbullpikachu6928]

Hi Jennifer Cole, I just want to let you know that I disagree with you two statements above, let’s start with the 2nd one first that you think Tim Tebow can’t string sentences together. Tim is a graduate of the University of Florida which is Florida’s Land Grant College & the academic flagship of the state. UF is Florida’s leading research institution in the areas of agriculture research, veterinary science, and medical science. It is a top 30 academic institution, it is one of the finest academic institutions in our great nation. It is Very hard to get into as a freshman! The acceptance rate is only 30% per year of all applicants. You pretty much need a 4.0 and around a 1350 SAT score to be considered for this institution. Tim not only was admitted, but he completely his bachelors degree with a 3.66 GPA, he was also an academic all American. While playing football at the University of Florida he won the Heisman Trophy, and he is considered by many to have been the greatest college football quarterback of all time. Today Tim’s job is to put sentences together to speak as an analyst on the ESPN network. Tim receives an annual salary of 6 million dollars a year to put sentences together on TV. Tim also is a motivational speaker, to book Tim to speak at your event will cost you around 75,000 to 149,000 dollars. That what people pay Tim to put sentences together! So, I have to say you above statement is somewhat inaccurate! Your other statement is that, “Korbin Albert isn’t a good soccer player.” We’ll, Korbin Albert graduated high school one year early, so she went to the University of Notre Dame as a 17 year old to start her freshman year year, Notre Dame is also one of the finest private Catholic institutions in our great land, and like UF only the absolute top students stand even a slight chance to get in as a freshman, Korbin was one of the absolute top recruited players in the land she was the ECNL’s player of the year when her club team, the Eclips from Chicago, won a national championship. At the University of Notre Dame Korbin won these awards: Nation Wide Best Freshman in 2021 All ACC team 2021 ACC midfielder of the year in 2022 NCAA All American team in 2022 All ACC team in 2022 And as a freshman she was a finalist for the Herman Trophy. She left Notre Dame as a before her junior year because she was given a contract to play for on of the BEST women’s soccer teams on the planet Paris St Germain. Then at age 20, Korbin was called up to the USWNT where she became the 2nd youngest player in team history to be capped!! So, when the GREAT Megan Rapinoe was the same age as Korbin is now, she had not yet played a single game with the USMNT, So, I once again disagree with you statement about Korbin not being a good soccer player.

[@machellovelivelife658]

Megan joked that getting injured was proof God didn't exist, a post piggybacked on that creating a post of God injuring Megan, and Korbin liked that post. Megan should not throw out jokes, if she can't take one back. Calling Korbin hateful because of that, is wildly embellished. As for the videos she liked that were allegedly "transphobic" "homophobic", I haven't seen the videos nor can I find them. I don't trust other people's assessment of those videos as my own, I would have to see it myself. Not everyone sees things the same way.

[@Pumpkin-vg1ur]

I can't see the apology either. It didn't happen. She's not sorry. I'd have to see it to be an authority on it. I did see the homophobic and transphobic content she shared and liked with my eyes. I saw she promoted hate on her social media. She can have her opinion but in 2024 you'd hope the organisation selecting and employing her would speak up and say that her views are not supported by the organisation. The absence of that sounds like an endorsement and it seems very strange to auction her pride jersey during pride week. I hope she spoke up for her beliefs and said she didn't want to participate given her views. She should be true to her beliefs and face the consequences. Anything less would be cowardly.
