The United States women's national team has engaged in internal discussions regarding midfielder Korbin Albert's recent social media activity. Albert's posts were found to contain content that appeared to support anti-LGBTQIA+ sentiments and make light of an injury sustained by former U.S. winger Megan Rapinoe. Team captain Lindsey Horan and veteran forward Alex Morgan addressed the situation, emphasizing the team's commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Morgan expressed the team's dedication to using their platform to advocate for causes that are important to them, highlighting the significance of creating a space where fans and supporters feel heard and valued. Horan acknowledged the disappointment felt within the team due to the failure to uphold the national team's integrity, stressing the importance of fostering a team that fans can rally behind.
