| Political Correctness takes down an amazingly successful athlete - Hope Solo |
| 2016-08-25 |
| [For The Win] With one swing of the axe, Hope Solo’s trophy-laden international career has come to an end. At least for now, and probably forever. Citing her comments following the U.S.'s loss to Sweden earlier this month, the U.S. Soccer Federation handed down a six month suspension to Solo, who was suspended for 30 days for a separate incident last year. |

| #7 Yep, accumulation of incidents is no accident. It was a lame, PC excuse but it was all they needed. |

| #4 It wasn't political correctness that got her canned. It was bad sportsmanship. She has a history of running her mouth at the wrong time - like when being arrested, not just when losing at the Olympics. That makes her toxic to organized sports and sponsors. |

| #3 Frank G nails it - she's been a tolerable pain in the ass (world's best goaler), and now that she's 35 and opened up her mouth yet again, she's expendable. |

| #1 yeah yeah yeah..but it's also an accumulation of life choices and actions. Check out the arrest record and history of her and her hubs Jerramy Stevens. Seems like they said "ENOUGH!" |
