Hope Solo is playing for Team USA in the Women’s World Cup, and more than a few people find that offensive.
With a domestic violence case dangling over her head and the recent revelation of the details of her arrest, Solo continues to be the U.S.’s starting goalkeeper, including in Monday’s 3-1 win over Australia. Team USA coach Jill Ellis has told reporters she “lives in a bubble” and hasn’t paid attention to Solo’s controversial situation, while U.S. soccer president Sunil Galati has failed to act.
Considering all that, ESPN’s Keith Olbermann said he had no choice but to call for Solo’s suspension and Galati’s firing.
Team USA next plays Friday against Sweden. Solo, in all likelihood, is expected to suit up for the Americans.
