This past June, Hope Solo's past arrests came up once again as the World Cup approached.
USA Today reports that back in June of 2014, Team USA's famous soccer goalie was arrested on 2 counts of domestic violence after assaulting her nephew and her half sister. Many people believed that she should have been immediately terminated from the team after such actions, but when she pleaded not guilty, her case was dismissed. However it was still believed that even without being proven guilty, the violent nature of the incident should have gotten her completely kicked off of Team USA. And yet the team made no action against her, and she was allowed to continue playing in the following World Cups for Team USA.
I have an interest in this story basically because I am a very sporty person. I love watching sports, playing sports, and basically just sports in general. Famous athletes are of course human and make mistakes just like everyone else. But I find it interesting the drama that ensues when one of them show their humanness.
