Click through to the video in the article to see Hopes reaction. Is this part of a PR effort by her camp

If it is her PR firm should be fired. Cursing and and angry? Not the image US soccer wants at all.

Folks this isn't about her comments. She's been a train wreck for awhile now. time to let a new GK get in the net and gain some experience before the next big events ramp up. From that same link

�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,� Gulati said in the press release.

I know why she was suspended. I agree it was for a history of bad behavior. She was on some type of probation.

I was surprised that this video was made public. She was clearly in a room with her people

So I have two theories why it was made public

1. The video was leaked to make her look more sympathetic
2. The video was stolen by some low level person in the law firm/agent

Ultimately Solo sees herself as a victim and one who should be given some slack. She was given slack but she's burned through her chances. Cutting bait is the right call.

So are you going for theory #1

No. Theory #3. Video was leaked to confirm she's a nut job and justify cutting bait. 😀

That was my thinking - to pre empt any possible apology tour she may be planning. Lochte was on GMA this morning to plead his case. I expect her to follow suit as well.

Or, maybe, just maybe, she has finally learned that if you keep cra**ing on the people that keep giving you 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances they finally say "enough."
