So if you haven't heard already, Hope Solo was suspended from the Women's team for making comments regarding the Swedish team:
This is the letter informing Hope Solo her contract with the USWNT has been terminated.
She responded with this post:
Hope Solo's response to SI on her suspension.
People were quick to compare Hope's punishment with Ryan Lochte's:
Today Hope Solo got suspended 6 months for inappropriate comments while Ryan Lochte is now rumored to join Dancing With the Stars ð¤
And why Ryan wasn't punished for his gas station shenanigans:
If Hope Solo is getting six months for calling a team "cowards" what does Ryan Lochte get for inciting an international incident?
Like really
Maybe Hope Solo wouldn't have gotten suspended if she made up a story about being robbed at gunpoint instead.
What kind of punishment did he get?
Ryan Lochte dumped by sponsors. Hope Solo suspended for six months. It's easy to come down hard on athletes you don't need in 2020.
Hope Solo gets suspended for 6 months practicing her right to freedom of speech, but Ryan Lochte defaces public property and nothing. Wow.
An opportunity on "Dancing with the Stars" apparently:
So Hope Solo gets suspended for speaking her mind meanwhile Ryan Lochte gets cast on "Dancing with the Stars"?
Some people were really against this decision:
I'm not a fan of soccer but I think it's complete bs that Hope Solo was banned FOR SIX MONTHS after she stated her opinion about a team..
Bottom line is: there seems to be a double standard here.
Hope Solo trash talks: suspended 6 mo. Ryan Lochte lies his way into an international incident: boys will be boys.
