This is after Hope Solo said the Swedish team played like cowards (she said a lot more, but).
“The comment spread like wildfire and Solo was roundly criticized for being a sore loser and defying the competitive spirit of the Olympics.
“Solo says now: ‘The media said I was the selfish one, that I was the poor sport. But I cared. I went home heartbroken and some of the players went to Rio to party. It‘s all how you want to tell the story.‘” #USWNT
“ The lawyers at Winston & Strawn who worked on the filing saw their email inboxes flooded with messages from young girls who wanted to contact the players. Some of them were writing papers for school projects. Some just wanted to let the players know they supported them. Others were saying thanks.
‘It was a moving response,‘ says Jeffrey Kessler. ⬇️

As an avid soccer fan, I chose this library book for a reading challenge on #LibraryThing to read a book about a sports figure. I very much love to watch Carli Lloyd play on the US Women‘s National Team (#USWNT). Any other #soccer fans out there?
