I agree with Sandra. But I’ll say what she didn’t. It should have been an IG post. Unless you were viewing her story then you never personally saw the apology unless it was reposted by someone else. A good show of accountability would be to see the apology even now on her page. If you think her apology being in a story that only stays up for 24 hrs is a coincidence then you are naive. That was a personal choice. Almost like it never existed. I also agree with some points by Jenny. However, outside of an apology that has disappeared and these internal conversations there’s nothing else. Korbin’s family are deep into their beliefs she shared. It’s going to take a lot for her to be more inclusive and sensitive. I will say, hearing a take from someone not in the community will never hold the same weight. Sorry Jenny. The harmed community will always be the voices I’d listen to more. Same thing with race and people telling me and other black people how to feel. It’s the harmed community who we should listen to the most in what could make things better and it’s been clear.
I find it hypocritical and ironic that some of the same people in these comments that are talking about how hateful it is that some players and media personalities are disappointed or are speaking out about Korbin Albert's inclusion on the Olympic roster, are the same ones that hoped the USWNT would lose at the last WWC because of these insinuations that those women were being patriotic enough by singing the NA! Let me be clear, in reality the hate stemmed from people being turned off that some of these same women were fighting for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community and equal rights for women in general, period. The hypocrisy in this country has gotten out of control, a country where everything has become narrative based and about culture wars
If Jenny said she was from the same community I’d weigh her opinion much more higher. Of course what she said is true in some ways. How do we close that gap? But Sandra is also right. A good show of faith was not a 24 hour story. Whoever directed her to do that gave her poor advice. Anyone who thinks otherwise isn’t coming from neutral views. We should all be able to agree that that wasn’t the best show of accountability. An IG post would have gone so much further. Yes, people notice these things, especially the harmed community.
First reaction...Coach Hayes made the right choice leaving Morgan off, its time to see new players have the opportunity shine. The Korbin thing, I think she was more frustrated than anything having heard how Rapinoe was at the Olympics and though her response on sm was very wrong it was her "wrong" way of showing how she had enough. All in all, I think the USA fans are excited to see how these new players will perform on this huge olympic stage.
AM13 hasn't scored a goal for club this year (at the time of writing). AM13 herself said after WC '23 that forwards are measured by goals scored. It should be no surprise she's left off the team. Croix at 9 assists and 5 goals deserves a spot. If AM13 wants to get back on the roster, she needs to start scoring like mad.
The Interim coach was good enough even for Olympics!She did a "decent" job won a couple trophies and the team liked her! America don't need English Coaches Not good enough,never win any big trophies! look at Waves English Coaches boring games not exiting for fans in the stands!Alex Morgan was too much for the new coach to handle!
If you leave Albert off you could be destroying a brilliant, line-breaking mid. Let her answer all the questions on and off the pitch at the Olympics which don't mean as much as the World Cup. If she's not up to snuff then replace her. But with who is the question. Who are the wrecking ball #6? Been a weak position since Ertz retired and other teams take advantage of that.
Lily does not have a Dutch passport, so she is not eligible to play for them as of now. She might be pursuing it but she cannot be called up to them at this time until she’s a citizen.
Interesting, a panel of 3 women discussing Albert. One is arguing to move on and to support the full 18 player roster. The other two aren't buying her arguments. They want Albert to suffer. They want a lifetime ban from USWNT. They point out that her performance has dropped off, even as Hayes says that her performance merits her inclusion on this roster. This is a hateful video, with 2 people seeking revenge. Thanks, Jenny, for being the adult.
someone on twitter jas drawn up a chart counting the number of gay players who were in squads fir tournaments over the last 10+ years and are complaining their isn't enough gay players. I mean forg6about talent, if your gay you are good enough
This is not hateful when they are discussing the hate that Albert has shown. We do need to move forward but her apology was only after she saw potential monetary consequences.
You ready in between the lines also buddy The whole community wants her to suffer. Nothing was ever said when the old number 15 was disrespecting the flag double standards for and against.
I don’t disagree with you Jenny, I think you make a great point. I think the difference to me is that she is representing our country on this team and this team has continually stood on strong core values that she does not share and actively stood against by sharing her views on social media - so is she the right person to represent USA on the world stage? But also we don’t see what work they are doing internally and I’d be super interested in that and Korbin’s response within the team
You don't retire one of your best players right before the Olympics. Period. Alex Morgan scored a great header into the net four months ago in Olympic prep. Her height for these shots is a plus. Her savy in transition and inside the box is something this team needs. There are only two players I would put at the same level as Morgan on this team Mallory Swanson being one of them. Rodman, Williams and Smith are going to get smoked by the powerful European teams. I forgot the name of the other impressive new comer. I'll look it up and get back. Dunn is a horrible passer. No way you put half of the players on this roster ahead of Morgan. Lastly you don't retire one of your best players and fan favorites like this at the last minute. It really is heartless and lacks class by this British coach.
Rapinoe made light of her achilles injury. We forget how Harris treated some of her teammates when they didn't agree with her, but that was never spoken about. it seems to always be one sided. Talk about it all...The conversation needs to be had that equality for all IS needed, but lets talk about it all.
Let's just call it what it was for years with the USWNT the players some more than others had to much power. It was hard for younger players to get caps which caused a development problem. The world has caught up because you had passed coaches more worried about if people liked them than making tough decisions. Spanish women have won on all three levels of their national team that shows commitment to development. That's what Emma has to get back to is development of our Younger players.
This is all interesting but I'm still no closer to understanding WHY Emma made this decision to drop Alex Morgan and whether the panel agree with the decision or not. Is it that Alex is not currently on the top scorers chart for this NWSL season nor the Assists List? If she had a strong Gold Cup and was looking as quick(?) as ever, why's she been left out? Maybe I need to keep looking for clips on here of Emma talking about this decision because it's not brave without a solid rationale behind it. What is the case to leave her out and do we feel it stands up to scrutiny?
This message did not age well. Fast forward one month and you know why. USWNT won the Paris Olympics gold medal. Emma Hayes has been right from the start.
It's about on the field, not off !!( In regards to Albert) ...it's about the front of the jersey to me not the name on the back....there are a lot of " bad apples" on sports teams and we all still root for them on the field....this is no different for me...
I like Jenny's take on the Korbin Albert issue, at least in principle. That Albert plays for a French club team certainly slows down the progress of moving beyond the rancor and upset Albert's social media intolerance caused. I suspect, unfortunately, that this is never going to go away, that she will continue to hear boos every time she steps on the pitch for the rest of her career. She's either going to have to learn to deal with it or perform some kind of public act of contrition that more than makes up for her behavior (hard to envision what that might be) or she is going to ultimately fail as a USWNT player. It's very hard to hear a chorus of boos from your own team's fans, especially when your sporting performance is quality. I have no idea what would silence those more vocal and militant fans, but there are only a few choices of how Albert and the team deal with that. It would be a shame, from a football perspective, if those who felt a sting and insult from Albert's social media communication won some kind of moral victory and forced her off the team. That would silence the boos - and I'm not sure anything less would silence the boos - but it would cause the team significant damage. Maybe that's the price to be paid for the lesson that intolerance will not be tolerated. (Oxymoron intentional.)
I don’t think it will even come to that. The midfield pool of talent is going to be what ultimately has her off the roster. She’s solid but there’s already talent that can replace her that don’t come with those distractions. I agree, I don’t think she’ll ever be embraced. Ultimately, this is her family’s doing. She was brought up with intolerant views and she shared them as a young player and it likely will follow her, her entire career. Maybe this will be a lesson learned and she breaks the cycle in her own family.

Every single, and yes even Carly Lloyd had a send off or a "last game", I'm sure US soccer will do this for Alex when she announces her international retirement so I think she will get 1 more game in a friendly. Let's not be too disrespectful now to a great player who has 123 goals and is the 8th all time top scorer in the W game. World Class left foot!!
Sometimes we forget that these people are still just very young children and do I agree when your mind is closed no but how do you open a mind , you show them..... they must learn from it so yes acting inappropriately on your Instagram is not acceptable and it's a hard life lesson but so is the media shaming someone until they are belittled to nothing..
Do you think there is any weight on the Albert decision caused by the fact that she plays in France and that could be advantageous for the team? Her and Horan could bring experience and wisdom due to that… just a thought!
Jenny's take was a cop out. It felt as if we couldn't ask for a reasonable stern consequence and the only one was a permanent expulsion. We expect consequences for actions that tally with hate and bigotry and not a slap on wrist. From we are dealing with it in house from the captains to Emma hayes "let's embrace her", is that it?????. It seems a minimilazation of the issue.
Kudos to Emma on not making legend picks. Building a roster based on name and past performances will not win championships. Ex: Rapino being on the last world cup roster 🤨
Alex Morgan did everything on her time for uswnt but now she is not fit uswnt team. I just wondering why everybody was surprised about Alex, her performing not good year ,two years ago so the coach did was right.
I do think Alex Morgan’s career is over on the USWNT it is time to move on from the old washed up soccer players. Sorry to say I am not a fan of Alex Morgan to be quite frank. She use to be good but when you turn 35/36 years old it is time to pass the torch to the youngsters like Sophia smith or Morgan Weaver/Summer Yates just to name a few.
Disagree 3000% Alex Morgan should’ve been that roster. You focus on the Olympics then focus on anything long-term. You can face her out after the Olympics, but not taking her was absolutely a stupid choice. Kruger doesn’t bring anything to this team so she should’ve left behind and had Dunn be left as a defender. If this is a statement choice by Emma hayes it’s a poor one.
Jenny amazing with your opinion on Korbin Albert debate. I love it!!!! Did this channel sais anything how Rapinoe disrespected the American flag and said men who transition to women should play in women sports. Nothing was said. Stop it!!!
Any One please Explain why Alex Morgan Career Over. By the Coach????. If the Coaches make this decision. We All USA should let the Coach Out off USWNT. All People please make the coach out of USWNT.
Alex can now advocate from home lol, Emma is stacking her roster with players who just want to ball, she doesn't care about you whiny Americans and your feelings and I'm here for it lol
What were YOUR initial USWNT roster reactions?
Jenny is 100% correct about the Korbin subject.
Thank you, Sandra, for saying exactly how I feel about the Korbin Albert situation.
Soy Milk
@@centenoj85 Your micro aggressive homophobia is exactly why we all do not feel safe still in this world.

Props to Emma. It’s the right thing to do.
I think Jenny’s take on Korbin Albert is lame at best.
It’s not all or nothing.
This is idiocy. These are complex and nuanced issues.
