Forget the Hope Solo thing. It was domestic only because she was related to the 250 lb 6’2” nephew that she pushed down.
I am not condoning it. She was drunk and obnoxious. BUT, it wasn’t Ray Rice punching out his baby momma.
Congratulations to Hope and all the US Women. Great game. Grat tournament. All for little or no pay. It’s easy to pull for these players because they really do it for the love of the game.

Congrats on the win.
But if this was the men’s team and the goalie was under investigation for the exact same charges as Solo is, it would have been broadcast 24/7. The “outrage” would have been worldwide.
But because it’s a woman, not a peep. That’s wrong. Very wrong.
