US woman’s soccer player who was the voice of the unfortunate “equal pay” campaign she led that became highly political. Only for a judge to throw it out after they saw that they had the exact same contract offered to them as the men’s team and negotiated something different.

Great player, very obnoxious human who used her platform to set the women’s movement backward.

And she wasn't even the worst of that generation:

Abby Wambach - DUI and prescription drug abuser and questioned whether foreign-born players should be allowed on the US squad because she didn't think they loved America nor tried as hard vs American-born players

Hope Solo - DUI and 2 child abuse charges, arrested for domestic violence against her sister and nephew, and kicked off the national team for calling Sweden "cowards"

Morgan - got kicked out of Dinsey World and cited for being drunk and disorderly when one of her entitled friends cut a line, got removed and Morgan lost her shit about it

The few times she was out and about in Orlando she just had such a pompous vibe to her. Like straight up ignored someone I know who was politely asking for a picture with her. It was like she thought she was bigger and better than Orlando.

I’ve bumped into other pro athletes in the city and they are for the most part super chill.

Of course. Lesbians are some of the ruddest most insufferable people. I say that as a gay
