U.S. Soccer has suspended goalkeeper Hope Solo from the U.S. Women’s National Team for six months for conduct that is counter to the organization’s principles.
quote:
“The comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden during the 2016 Olympics were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our National Team players,” said U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati. “Beyond the athletic arena, and beyond the results, the Olympics celebrate and represent the ideals of fair play and respect. We expect all of our representatives to honor those principles, with no exceptions.
“Taking into consideration the past incidents involving Hope, as well as the private conversations we’ve had requiring her to conduct herself in a manner befitting a U.S. National Team member, U.S. Soccer determined this is the appropriate disciplinary action.”

Hope Solo acted like an a-hole and got 6 months suspension, but committed domestic assault and got a month. Great job, America.

I will be disappointed if she is the starting goalie in France or in Tokyo.

She is trash

Lol. That gets her suspended but not domestic abuse.
They only did it now because she's not needed anymore

I just don't see how you suspend somebody for this. Ronaldo would've gone to prison for what he said about Iceland and for throwing a reporter's microphone into a lake if he was American, I guess.

Six months is a lot of unstructured free time for Hope Solo.

Briana Scurry ain't walking through that door.

Even if she is still the best option in goal?
Who gives a frick if she's a despicable person, as long as she doesn't steal a team vehicle or beat up a 17 year old right before a world cup, I'm ok with her coming back.

She played like shite this Olympics. If she's the best option, that's pretty sad.

So a 4 game sample size in one isolated stretch is what we're going by here?
In terms of her performances on the field throughout the years, I think she deserves the benefit of the doubt.

She is not Ronaldo. She is a good keep but at this point a distraction. Time to move on.
That is conservative me.
Liberal me wonders if the whole stink by the women's team about fair pay does not give each of them a shorter rope.

Feel bad for her family for those 6 months, gonna suffer a lot of beatings
Posted on 8/24/16 at 8:24 pm to jackwoods4
US Soccer is trying to find a way to show her the door. She's been a loudmouth with the pay inequality bullshite amongst all the other nonsense she pulls. Her act is wearing thin and it's time to move on. She's a great GK, but don't kid yourself they will be fine with Naeher and Harris waiting in the wings.

They have more than enough reason to show her the door. They simply dont need to answer the door in 6 months.

Hope Solo has brought more negative attention to US Soccer than the organization needs. Between the physical abuse, the Zika tweets, the Sweden comments, and the lawsuit over equal pay, she's gotta be put in some sort of timeout.
I don't think it will do much good though, because Hope Solo is a piece of shite.

Bitching about a CBA that they agreed to should give them a shorter rope.

It actually looks like they terminated her contract (it was expiring in four months). This is their way of moving on, but IDK why you would just not call her up and then not give her a new deal. This is just dumb.
FWIW I think the team is better off without her. No distraction and lots of people in the NWSL circles on Twitter say our other options have out performed her the past couple seasons.
