0:00 - 0:27 Such a wild and upsetting story.
0:28 Korbin Albert has "liked" and re-posted very upsetting content on social media
0:38 We read from a headline about the situation
1:01 Someone on Twitter found Korbin's upsetting Social media activity that was homophobic and transphobic and targeting Megan Rapinoe
1:35 Zodiac signs being demonic that one wasn't as bad
1:54 Cisgendered was offensive to Korbin
2:06 God was "saving" someone from being gay and transgendered
2:27 We read more from the article about what happened and what the posts were about
2:59 USWNT has always been a safe space for LGBTQ+ community
3:47 Reposing these things when she plays for USWNT who champions LGBTQ+ rights and is at the forefront of inclusivity
4:11 If she didn't want to be playing for a team who champions diversity and LGBTQ+ why not just decline a call up? She plays in Europe so she wasn't very well known here in the States before her call up
4:43 The USWNT fans are very pro LGBTQ+ and it is hurtful to see one of the players re-post things like this
5:22 She also liked something very personal about Megan Rapinoe! A Meme HAPPY that Megan got hurt in her final game! WTF!?!
6:09 Korbin was happy that Megan got injured. Korbin is also wearing number 15!!! WTF?!!!!!
6:35 Sometimes things are in the past 5-10 years ago. This was 6 months ago!!!!
7:00 She's young, will she learn? Her family seems MAGA. A family Tiktok mocking pronouns
7:37 Megan Rapinoe responded. Until Pinoe responded that is when it got a lot of traction
7:54 We read from an article about Pinoe responding to Korbin Albert - And more about Korbins reposts
10:25 Korbin's activity was found out then Megan responded
10:40 Korbin's apology statement
11:10 Was it a good apology? Was it a PR apology? She's young and will learn?
11:23 People kill themselves over bullying
11:48 Megan's official response to Korbin's activity
12:20 Some people use anti LGBTQ+ speech as their religion. But Korbin represents the USWNT!
12:36 Wanting Pinoe to get hurt!? That is Christian? Because she supports trans rights?
12:55 Pinoe is number 15!!!
13:10 A lot of current and former players reposted Pinoe's instastory
13:27 We read some comments I saw online
13:40 But some people are defending her. That she can have her own beliefs.
14:05 There are a lot of Christian players who don't repost these types of things
14:34 More comments. Celebrating an injury is like WTF!?!!
15:10 This Is really bad Karma!!!! not good!
15:40 She is on the USWNT which is so important to LGBTQ+ rights. Will this keep her off the Olympics?
16:17 Emma needs to forget about player-player relationships. She needs to worry about things like this!
16:28 The locker room may be kind of icy for her?
16:57 Glad Pinoe responded to this. Korbins apology was standard/ok. Some ppl double down in situations like this
17:15 She had a game with PSG and she scored a goal. And her teammates seemed like they had no problem with her
17:35 Some of the reposts were unclear. But some are VERY clear
18:03 Upsetting that someone who represents the USWNT publically posts these. With so much bullying in the LGBTQ+ community
18:40 If you make a change I will forgive someone!
18:55 Did she not catch on that ppl were going to see these posts? What was she thinking?
19:24 Will any of her teammates be able to be "normal" with her?
19:57 The women before her did so much for her and those after her. Now she trashes on some members? Not cool
When I wa twenty years old, I knew enough not to say or write hurtful things about people, especially people on my own team. This only brings division when we need everyone to work together and trust each other. So disappointing.
Standing up to bullies is necessary. Rapinoe has been a bully for most of her later career. The huge pressure brought upon Albert for liking some tweets shows who the bullies are in this scenario.
She also shared racist and anti-Asian TikTok’s - I took screen shots, kinda sucks
Amazing police-work Columbo!! I'm sure YOU have never said or done anything offensive in your important life.
Woke people nowadays call anything they disagree with "racist". So forgive us for disregarding your post until you have something a whole lot more concrete!
"I took screen shots": You did the right thing. Don't listen to those two hateful trolls who want to justify their believes with excuses and religious bigotry instead of facts.
@@07Flash11MRC you meant to say their “beliefs”. Russian trolls and or bots need to learn proper English.
Religious bigotry??? Facts???? Go ahead and start giving examples, sweetheart. Not sure wtf you’re talkin about, but I sure as hell don’t need a religion to tell me a guy f**kin another up the a** is animalistic and disgusting. You don’t like my view then you can f**k off with the rest of them. I don’t give a s**t if you’re offended by my stance or probably 2/3 of the world’s population who thinks the same. Be happy you live in a country that puts up w your bulls**t.
The context of the Rapinoe injury “like” was Rapinoe’s statement that the fact she got injured in her last game proved God doesn’t exist. I assume Rapinoe meant to be funny, but the comment could be viewed as disrespectful to religious people.
BINGO! For all the pearl clutchers on this thread: If you don't want a meme to be made, don't start by making a disrespectful joke about God.
@@JB-ti7blAgree but somehow many are quick to say otherwise.
To be fair, I don’t think Rapinoe cares at all about any memes that were made.
@annamc3947, thankyou, yes, context is important. Albert was NOT "liking" Rapinoe's injury. She was "liking" the satirical response (meme) to Rapinoe's statement that her injury is proof that God doesn't exist. And yes that statement by Rapinoe was offensive to many Christians, Jews, and Muslims who believe in a God. I must have missed the press conference where Rapinoe apologized for offending and marginalizing their beliefs. Albert played for Notre Dame, a Catholic University, it appears she's a Christian. She posted NO attacks against anybody, she shared a religious sermon, a patriotic video celebrating Independence Day, and shared posts of people praying for their God to help trans people, on HER social media, with HER friends and family, and now she is being persecuted for her views. If you don't like it STAY OFF her social media! Great way to grow the women's game, alienate Christians, Jews, and Muslims because compared to them the LGBT+Q population is overwhelming. Do the math.
I don't agree with her comments but...... isn't everyone entitled to their own opinions? are they now doing the same thing to her that they don't want being done to them?
No, opinions are different from celebrating the injury of a player.
@@Footielad560 guess I didn't see any comment of that sort as I don't think pino is still playing to get injured
@@Footielad560 Wasn't it Rapinoe who invoked God in relation to her injury? "... if there was a God, this is proof that there isn't"
So, Megan is allowed to joke about and deny God, but no one else is?
SJW double standards are weird.
NO!!!! Haven't you been paying attention?!? Opinions and beliefs are only welcomed if they support a woke/progressive agenda -- apparently the self-decreed standard of USA Soccer. Anything counter will be CANCELED!
Freedom of speech only works one way here!
How can you gel with a team with views like that?
so i have to be anti-christ to be accepted now?
Easy, you play the sport and ignore politics and social media
You have to all the time, in almost any situation when you have to accomplish something with others.
Freedom of speech.
@@gremlin-wd7kx Not freedom from consequences
It’s just wild she liked that meme about Pinoe knowing she was actively trying to make the National Team! One of the biggest factors for teams performing well is wanting to play for each other and being able to feel comfortable. Actively liking and reposting anti everything the national team stands for is bizarre
I like her rebel attitude! Team USA needs it!
@@No.1komanga Oviously you've never played a team sport & if you did you wouldn't play on any of my teams.
@@No.1komangaI dont think that was her intention, but I get your point! Korbin for Captain!! Haha
@@user-ks7dv7rq4k I've played sports. The best players are usually not politically correct. Quite the opposite.
I guess DEI doesnt apply to thought or world view.
Beliefs are not changed by an apology.
Well stated
Who cares what LGBT think I certainly don't
@@aussar01 Who the fk cares what YOU think..take your right wing bigoted hatred elsewhere...ur probably a closeted gay yourself and scared to come out....
If you're belief changes from one day to the next it's not much of a belief. More like a whimsical thought.
No they are not changed you're forced to tell lies to stop from being targeted for making hate speech..
It’s unfortunate that she won’t be able to take those comments back. It’s who she is and what she believes in, own and so be it. She’s 20 and an adult. She can be stupid like that on her club team. It’s up to the club to accept it or not. But the USWNT represents more, she represents the country, her teammates and it’s both an honor and privilege to be on the team. Her behavior is unbecoming of what the crest represents. Being disrespectful to trans, other players, representing hate and the LBQT community is just unacceptable. There’s going to be a lot of tension on the team. Hopefully the USWNT addresses her action. An apology is too late, it’s an ingrained thing.
I think she's entitled to her opinions and that the USWNT shouldn't be about promoting a set of proscribed views, that goes against the principle of inclusion. I'm not religious but many football players are, and most religions in their strictest application have negative views about homosexuality and transgenderism - I don't think their right to believe in those should be denied. Hate speech however, in this case liking a post which celebrates the injury of a fellow player, is abhorrent and I hope not only the national but her club team addresses her action properly.
Oh, the poor LGBTQIA2S+ community. With only 145 special days devoted to you each year in the USA, including Easter Sunday - which Joe Biden deemed the "trans day of visibility" - and the entire month of June when you shove your rainbows down our throats, how will you get by? Are you going to be OK?
A 20-year-old girl disagrees with you? OMG, GET HER!!!!!
Using your own logic ALL players who knelt during the National Anthem should have been kicked out of the team for "behavior unbecoming of what the crest represents". So STUFF IT!
You people are so blind... all your talk of compassion and inclusion 😂😂😂 The devil loves to hide his agenda in "compassion" and "inclusion". This is war. I hope your ready...
I'm gay and really cant stand all the lgbt going on with the USWNT, its like an obsession and I love the team, huge fan, Love the players also, but they need to understand its a sport and sexual issues shouldn't be relevant. And also can expect all players or fans agree with the ideology. Spend too much energy on the subject! 😩
We're all better than the stupidest or worst thing we've done. Those are terrible things but maybe the apology was sincere. I guess we'll have to see. I hope the senior women on the team have a serious conversation with her because I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be queer or trans on her team.
at least one player on the PSG team who I think would have a big problem with her would be Ramona Bachmann - who is a big LBGTQ advocate and speaks perfect English - so will have been up on the whole story. I'm betting she will not have been shy in letting KA know her views on the matter. But agree that we are not defined by the stupidest thing we've ever done, and afaik she was not on the USWNT at the time she liked these posts, not that it excuses it at all, just that she would have been much more immersed in what her family believes at the time than she maybe is now
Be queer or trans. Your choice. Can you not support my 1st Amendment rights to disagree? USA Soccer has become the shaming Thought Gestapo.
@@paulnewell7722 Not accepting trans or queer people Is a choice. Gender disphoria is proven to be true by science, so it's not a choice, smart guy
@paulnewell7722 Having differing opinions and points of view is fine. HOWEVER, that changes when said opinions cause harm to innocent people when voiced. The LGBTQ community has done nothing to deserve anyone’s hate and there are people who are ending their lives because of all the hate and invalidation or are being killed or injured in a hate crime. The trans community is particularly vulnerable. So yeah, we’re not going to support any opinions or actions, even as small as liking a social media post, that spread that kind of hate or disapproval.
She is 20 yo, give her a break. She will either learn from this or not but if the public completely crucifies her it shows the hate in the "woke" crowd nailing her to a cross. I say this as a 60yo tran FTM lesbian. Didn't transition until I was 58yo. Just chill and remember youth is where you make mistakes and learn from them. Have mercy as you wished others had on you when you did something stupid when young. This might be the catalysis to help her escape her family but if all she sees is hate she might be too afraid to leave the family. Think about it, exposure right now within the USWNT will open her eyes, mind.
Why is it hateful for a former trans person to give their life to Christ and reject the LGTBQIA2S+ lifestyle as in the re-posted sermon? Just b/c you accept it, doesn't mean it's "hateful" to reject it.
I reject drugs and alcohol. That doesn't mean I hate ppl who drink.
Why would she leave her Christian family to join a woke cult?
@@JB-ti7blnot a great analogy…people choose to use drugs or alcohol (at least initially)…it isn’t core to their identity as a person…rejecting who someone is as a person certainly wouldn’t be conducive to a good locker room…per your logic
I agree that folks need to give her a chance to grow…if you want the ability to change you need to afford that opportunity to others…hopefully she’ll learn from this and not be too bitter from all the backlash
@@setransou Because it is in entering the world we learn. It is in exposure we learn how others live. Compassion is a two way street.
This is really upsetting to hear. There have to be (at least some) repercussions for such immature and offending behaviour.
In Austria, there also was an incident recently.
Following a Vienna derby victory (men's game) between Rapid (club with most supporters in Austria) and Austria Vienna, the assistant coach, and 5 other players of Rapid were filmed chanting anti gay fan chants ,using a megaphone, in front of their fans.
The Austrian Football Association, based on its anti discrimination rules, reacted fast and decided to suspend the involved players and staff (partly on probation) for up.to 6 matches.
The Austrian national team coach also didn't call up involved players for the next friendly matches in preparation for the Euro 2024.
Even if Korbin Albert is still young and maybe quite aware of her actions, an apology isn't enough. She will have to show through her future actions that she understood the seriousness of her reposts.
It would have been appropriate if Korbin had been, at least, suspended from the She Believes Cup roster of the USWNT.
I totally agree. Anyone who does something like this and then makes an apology after backlash has to follow it up with action and effort to learn. She should get the time to do that and prove herself but there should also be consequences now as well, if only just to set a standard for US players.
Are you now conflating openly racist actions to what Korbin Albert did, which is essentially showing her dislike for Rapinoe? I have news for you, more than half this country dislikes Rapinoe, due to HER open and essentially "using a megaphone" showing her dislike and distaste for her own country! I bet YOU did not think that was "offending behavior"!
Maybe it will be good for her to face people instead of from a keyboard. It is different in person and could be a growth experience.
As a whole, you are right. But theyre all (both views) making statements from a keyboard (prob cell phone)
Rapinoe is more outspoken about what she thinks, but that doesn't necessarily make her right just because shes more forceful about it
The whole thing was taken out of context. Some people defined the “repost” as “anti-LGBT”. FALSE. If you watched that video, you would understand. Some people defined the “like” as “celebrating teammate’s injury”. Again, FALSE. After suffered her career ending injury six minutes into her final game, Pinoe said that it is a proof God does not exist. The post Albert liked was a response to Pinoe’s statement using exactly the same storyline - the God took a vacation (implying the God does exist but was just absent when Pinoe injured). In what way this liked post could ever been interpreted as “celebrating”? If Pinoe can joke about God, they can too. This is a perfect response to Pinoe’s statement. I also saw plenty of double standards. When Pinoe said God does not exist, she did not think this was hurtful for her teammates who believe in God. While when one of these teammates reacted with the same storyline, it was hurtful. When Pinoe said God not exist, her Christian teammates should feel safe while one of her teammates reposted someone else’s sharing of his de-trans experience, the team became unsafe. When gay players started to show up in the team, no one pushed back while when a Christian player showed her true color, gay players are not OK since there is no place for hatred. By the way, I am not a Christian. I am Chinese. I knew what it looked like back in the Chinese culture revolution in the sixties and seventies. It looked very much like what the American is now - this is and ONLY this is the truth. Anyone who does not think this way is totally wrong and must be cancelled in any aspect of their life. I am sad to see America, once as a freedom lighthouse country for the whole world, has now become so radical and extreme.
I wonder if Albert thinks that 'God' worked to injure Rapinoe and so she could 'replace' her. That is incredibly funny to think about. I will always think of Pinoe as the one who fought against the status quo, and pushed the USWNT so far forwards, both in her technicality and in terms of equal pay/rights/standing. She is the one that made people talk about womens soccer whether it was for good or bad, without her work I doubt Albert would be enjoying such nice player benefits. Also Pinoe's PKs in the 2019 WC, as well as golden boot and Ballon D'or. She is a legend on so many levels... and her work continues. Pinoe will never be forgotten by fans and even future players. It's very brave of Albert to show her thoughts so publically, makes me wonder what she's like in private circles.
"Equal Pay"? Hahaha. The women signed a contract they didn't like, so they whined for literally years until they found a judge who allowed them to get subsidized by the men's earnings. Remember, in the past the ladies wanted full time status and health ins. So, that's what they negotiated for. Men wanted gig status and bigger paychecks, so that was their contract. No unfairness whatsoever.
REPEAT: NO UNFAIRNESS.
@@JB-ti7bl100%
I honestly can’t wait for a bunch of biological males identifying as females to take over the USWNT so the woke likes of Rapinoe and her ilk can see the fruits of Rapinoe’s “legacy”😂😂😂
Rapinoe single handedly turned off half the fan base of the USWNT. All the work of her predecessors such as Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, Akers, Lloyd, and countless others who worked overtime to expand the fanbase, was laid to waste by Rapinoe. Millions of AMERICANS were CHEERING when the the USWNT was bounced from the World Cup! It takes a whole lot to "achieve" that!
I wonder if her playing at PSG will give her a better world view. I suspect she was pretty isolated with that type of family. Time will tell I guess.
It's PSG, that environment could just as likely be reinforcing these bigoted views.
@@blueberryfuzz I mean, for sure the Qatari owners would agree 100% with her views. But I doubt the other players would. Most of them being French maybe means that they hadn't completely understood what the fuss was about and gave her a pass. Let's hope some of the other players sit down with her and talk about it calmly; shunning her is just going to push her back towards her family's hardcore Christian right-wing beliefs.
I think calling someone a bigot for their beliefs is worse than what she posted. Different views does not mean you're a bigot. Sick of woke people shaming and trying to force their beliefs on others.
@@johnjones-uc3ni That's the problem with you, you conflate different views as if that's just it and it's benign. It is not. Your views are harmful and oppressive. Those aren't just different views, those are deplorable. There's nothing woke about it. Every time you toss out woke talk, another person can just come back and call you MAGA. It's pointless. It's equally tiring to hear you whine and cry about other people "forcing" their beliefs on you. I could say the same about you right now, equally pointless.
@@johnjones-uc3niwhat’s worse is the insufferable woke’s belief they are morally superior and anything outside their world view is wrong think, -phobic/-ist.
The USWNT has always been a safe haven for players who are members of the LGBTQ+ community. Shame on this young lady to treat homosexuality as some disease or perversion that needs curing. That is straight out of the McCarthy era 1950’s playbook.
While she certainly has the right to post (or re-post) this type of material her place on the team is not a given right. I personally feel she should remain on the roster if only to show that the USWNT is one of inclusion.
Shaming an individual for expressing her beliefs is what reeks of McCarthyism -- not her exercise of the 1st Amendment rights. What is more anti-American (or USWNT) than that?
I am just watching a womens cup final here in the UK(Arsenal v Chelsea) and at the beginning of ALL games the players all kneel as a commitment against ALL forms of discrimination… and the spectators cheer and applaud the sentiment( it is an overwhelmingly ‘family friendly’ audience for the Womens game here….) I don’t really have to say any more really!!! (And there is a U.S. player in Arsenal team too!!)…That young player would not be welcome in a team here, I believe… Have no idea about the private lives of ALL of the women players in the WSL…but there are a good few … and some on the teams I am watching now….and it is none of my, or anyones business !!!…..in this or any other sport. For goodness sake!!…Love, in all its forms is Humanity’s highest and best attribute… So the ‘haters’ should look at themselves..and ‘get a better life’…. Because we only have ONE!!!…..
I watched the game too and don't understand why Americans are so fanatically religious. I thought her beliefs were for old fuddy-duddies, not 20 year olds.
Can you point out any "hate" that Korbin Albert did?
Far as I can tell, she re-posted a video of a former trans person giving their life to Christ. That ain't hate, it's a testimony. If anyone is bringing the hate, it is YOU.
As for kneeling for the national anthem: That will NEVER be acceptable to me. You can kneel against racism all day after the game, but when you're one the field wearing the Stars & Stripes, you stand!!!!
@@knrsthotmail In a few decades, you Brits will be wishing you were more "fanatical" about Christ. Your majority religion will be a different one by then. Have fun...
@@JB-ti7bl The Team, as with all National teams, had already stood and sang the National Anthem… the other is primarily a ‘gesture’ of peace and respect for all people …nothing to do with racism or religion or anything decisive …I do not hate the young woman…who has gracefully apologised, I believe,…but, maybe you will agree, that there are haters, who will not draw a line under various incidents ..and just move on with life… 👍all good wishes to you…
@@JB-ti7bl Nope, we won't =thanks for the concern though 😂
Oh and Karma is religious, it comes from Hinduism
You are now apparently allowed to believe only the ne thing it seems now…. Not even causing any trouble at all or speaking out against her teammates. Only people on the attack are on the left. They would first have her ruined and canceled and kicked out of soccer which is far far worst than her personal beliefs. Can you imagine what would happen if someone with left views or pro LGBTQ views was kicked off a religious team. First wouldn’t happen cuz you’re allowed to have a different point of view. Even funnier is the things she’s being criticized for are dumb and immature but the hate towards her and attacks are so so so much more hateful than anything she has done 100%
I don't agree with her views. She's got the right to express them. The Federation has the right to respond accordingly. If she's off the team because of lack of chemistry, perfectly fine. The general public's opinion has ZERO value here either for or against.
As you said the Pineo thing is really crazy. Usually teach little kids, specifically in sports, you never want anyone to get hurt. Otherwise its just that you're going to be wary in the future. Forgive doesn't mean you aren't going to be wary.
The difference between Albert and Daniels is she would wear the jerseys, armbands etc
Hello Sarah and Sara. I confess I watch videos from all sides, to learn about US. This does not surprise me. Your country seems so divided. If Emma Hayes gets to spread the game more evenly to include kids from all backgrounds, was this issue was bound to happen sooner or later? Better sooner?
Here in UK, the argument against trans athletes in women's sport, made on the basis of safety reasons, seems to me to be winning.
The joke about playing on the right wing made me laugh more than I have in a while.
I wore glasses, but field hockey enabled me to play a team game. The school only taught it to girls, until we were over 16. The female sports teachers thought the girls would thrash the boys and teach us a lesson. I decided otherwise and went in goal and did not concede. I immediately got picked as a defender in the mixed school team to play the staff, never having played. I then got picked to play for the staff, as a "ringer" against another school's staff, in a mixed game. I used to think the danger was from grown women hitting me with their stick for having just turned up and being able to play, like some imposter. Wearing sports kit with glasses got me laughed at by the younger brother of a GB rugby player too, thinking I was his football referee. I noted there was an incident from field hockey in US news.
She'll hide behind religion and then "patriotism" ... I wish she was dropped completely from the national team, seems unlikely but I hope she won't use no.15 anymore.
Hopefully she doesn't make the olympics team.
The team will be built around her, I can honestly see that! Who's making anybody feel unwanted or unsafe for the perceived views because she like something on social media.
I guess she doesn't get to have her own views in life if those views don't appease the LGBT crowd. Sounds like someone else is the bigot.
@@johnweeden1954 she liked a video that said god meant to injury a player. How is that defendable
There's a lot of people who don't support the lgbtq lifestyle , and don't hide behind anything. They have every right to believe what they want just as much as anyone who doesn't.
Just because people say being lgbtq is fine or good, doesn't necessarily make it good. Then anyone could say anything they want to be good and then that just becomes good. It's a really bad argument for anything.
Karma is already at work. Albert has basically shot herself in the foot. Hayes, Horan and Albert have all had to apologize in the past few months (with Albert by far the worst). It might be good for everyone to get some serious communication skills instruction. Alienating fans or fellow players is a recipe for disaster.
This!!! Players need to be educated on how to use Social Media!!!
It's funny that the LGBT crowd thinks they are the majority when the make up a small percentage in almost every venue.
Just like Rapinoe shot the USWNT in the foot with her divisive woke bs and politics .
sucks. Albert is relatively new, and shes been playing well. had zero idea about all this till yesterday and its disheartening. people can change, apology says everything thats needed, but, she needs to show, not tell. at this point just feels like a step taken to keep her spot on the team as opposed to any real contrition. sad that people cant just get along, and respect each other for what they are, or arent. as a fan of WOSO, im tired of all this gender war stuff. tired of the hate and vitriol from people who believe theyre better than others for whatever reason. notice in Alberts apology she mentions being sorry to everybody, except, her family.
Pinoe is a legend. person who stood up for others who couldnt stand for themselves. thats always going to draw fire. hopefully Alberts worldview will mature a bit.
feels like the Jaelene Daniels situation all over again, super talented player, warped world view.
OMG! These people twitting nasty things about this poor girl have such brittle ears.
They just need a reason to cancel someone because "their feelings got hurt".
Obviously, Corbin Albert has her own beliefs...Great for her, she has her own mind.
How she lives her believes in the context of her carrier and those with whom she interacts is a totally different thing.
1- She's young and will have to grow up and mature to be a better person to herself and to others.
2- Will she sell out her principles for a career and money: that's the decisions we all take at certain times in our lives.
3-I stand with the right of anyone to say or give an opinion on matters of public concern but the person must also take the consequences of their actions.
So let see where young Corbin Alberts go from here.
If the consequence for expressing your religious beliefs is being punished at work, then that is by definition a Civil Rights violation.
She has behaved badly. The comparison would be an lgbt+ player posting about the joys of Christians being hurt because they are Christian. She is free to be any religion she is or wants to be and she doesn't have to accept lgbt+ as an appropriate life, but she MUST respect lgbt+ people and not spread hate. I will struggle to support her as a player in any guise but hope she does grow up with more respect and an open heart. With all that said I do think she should be kicked off the national team
Agreed I couldn’t have said it better
I completely agree with you. This should be a hard life's lesson for her, it's about respecting others even if you don't agree with their lifestyle and sexuality. I used to like her on the NT and wanted to see what she could do to help the team but honestly after thus I'm so turned off by her actions and homophobic/racist mentality that I do not want her anywhere near our NT! I will be disappointed I Emma Hayes chooses to keep her on the team. This can definitely cause problems with other players who may have difficulty being on the same pitch with her.
Yes, good point
She is being forced to change her beliefs by bigoted people like yourself who believe in "freedom of expression" as long as it doesn't oppose YOUR views.
@@rbaggio7777 No, she isn't -she's free to believe what she wants but not rejoice in the injury of a fellow player, that is beyond the pale.
By freely saying her beliefs, Albert had demonstrated her strength and confidence. She belongs to the WNT!
OMG!!!! Get over yourselves!!! Not everyone is Gay nor do they have to support. being gay! AND YES being called "CIS-GENDER IS OFFENSIVE!!!" CANT WE JUST PLAY SOCCER!!!
Exactly
Although I am a huge fan for woso and have been since the France WC, it feels more and more apparent that a lot of players are quite out of touch. And sure the same and even more could be said about men's sport. I think what it comes down to is that the path to professional sport caters mostly to very priviledged kids. So much dedication and time is required to reach that level of excellence in your sport that you definitely need total support from family, and even money. Soccer is not a cheap sport. Also just from spending so much time in the soccer playing bubble, I think some players could be lacking their common sense and normalcy that comes from spending time socialising and meeting people totally different to you. Like most of these players surely had a full college scholarship, and travelled across the world for junior careers. They have already travelled the world as a teenager. And have many of these players worked a real job? Like sure Albert is talented, but just because you are talented doesn't entitle you to a spot on the team. There are thousands of talented people everywhere. And even more so, soccer isnt everything. There is more to the world than soccer, and this is something Rapinoe always reminds us of.
I hope this is a really profound turning point for Korbin. She’s a phenomenal athlete, let’s make her a phenomenal humanist too.
Didn't know who Korbin was until the gold Cup. This was the mid fielder we needed since JJ retired. Not her stock dropped for me. I think she should be removed from the She Believes roster.
"K.A. removed for having certain religious beliefs?
That is literally a Civil Rights violation. Ah, the tolerant Left would be glad to burn the Constitution if it made them "feel" better.
Sorry, your opinion stinks. Booo!!!
Your fascism is showing.
Rapinoe is a trouble maker. Korbin Albert was standing up for a detransitioner. They get no support. Good for her! As far as the meme, Rapinoe just posted one with a tombstone and Korbin's name on it. How disgusting.
It’s a set up, who thought it was a good idea to give a Christian rapinoe’s jersey number? 😂😂 US Soccer likes drama.
So she should have declined the invite to USWNT because she has her own opinions? This is America and having your own opinions is ALLOWED.
Apparently not
You are free to have your opinion. You are not free from the consequences. And this has been going on America since there was an America. It’s just that now, the blade cuts the other way and the whining from the once-dominant culture is as predictable as it is pathetic.
@@michaelalmasian4710 I’ve never heard a whinier group of people than the LGBTQ community. Worse than that they behave like communists. Their flag is donned in every western country, even at the White House, yet they’re an oppressed people. Give me a break and be more resilient. No problem with how people identify, but don’t pretend your not the one changing the culture and expecting everyone to go along with it 100%. There’s no virtue in being an activist athlete IMO
@@michaelalmasian4710and what are those consequences??
@@RW-zh7kl Other than putting the spotlight on herself and her hatreds (and whining about it), not much. She’s still a member of the USWNT and PSG.
What is with all the MAGA trolls in your guys' comment section?? How'd they even find this video? IDK but keep on making great content y'all ❤
I'm sure a lot of them are actually the same troll using different accounts, hence the many 'alphabet' references.
God bless Korbin Albert!!!
This young woman needs to grow up and understand what she endorses on social media is fair game for criticism when you are REPRESENTING the USWNT.
What is wrong with her parents??
Did people forget that the LGBTQ community are not the only ones with free speech.

@@JB-ti7blso you are saying you are a god?
@@aletapequenaShe never said that at all. She’s saying that God made “man for woman and woman for man” (Genesis 1) and that’s how He intended it to be. When people twist that and do what they think is ok (same-sex marriage), that is essentially telling God that they know better than He does or it’s just plainly going against how He made things and that’s when God gets angry and rightfully so.
Korbin Albert wore #15 because #27 (her number in December) and #24 (her number at PSG) are not allowed in FIFA tournament play.
why were you not going to read it ... although apologizing is `easy`
She needs to go!
So you are not going to tell us about Conti cup and all the dramas
It is not transphobic by sharing your religious belief and opinion. As a christian myself I fully support K Albert, stay strong in your faith with God
Why did she apologize? Weak. Rapino mocked god when she got hurt, did christians make her apologize? Double standard. But here we go again with uswnt worrying about something else other than soccer.
Exactly
Albert should not be on the USWNT.
Liberals would literally burn the Constitution if it got them their way.
You realize that religious beliefs are a Civil Right, yes?
So your WOKE religion believes in "1 strike, your out" ...meanwhile ... "Bigoted" Christians believe is forgiveness of sins...
But those evil Christians are the intolerant ones... I'm shocked at the level of hypocrisy.
OMG! She liked a post that criticized Saint Rapinoe? It was awesome for the Alphabet Mafia to show why there's a backlash brewing against their bullying tactics. Rapinoe's bullying already lost half the USWNT's fanbase, and the WNBA's Alphabet Mafia's bullying of Caitlin Clark before she even made it to the WNBA made much of Caitlin fans swear to not follow Caitlin to the WNBA. Sara Sarah, your cancel culture post will do nothing but accelerate the backlash. People just don't like bullies. They are sick and tired of it.
Sure Klan
I gonna ask this is player on USWNT political sides with republicans and likes a republican centric post. Will she be seen a differently and forced to apologize.
I said (and did) a lot of really stupid stuff when I was 20 as well and I think what happens, as you get older, is that the time between THINKING and DOING begins to grow. Everything isn't so immediate anymore. So even if she doesn't truly change her views -- and it is what it is, the world would be a terrible place if all 8 billion of us believed the exact same thing -- HOPEFULLY she realizes that sometimes keeping them to yourself is the healthiest route to take.
that's the thing for me, is there's one thing to think terrible things but to actively show off/express that side of yourself is a whole different level. it just shows her community around her has validated if not outright created those beliefs. that's the scary part.
yes, the would be a terrible place if all 8 billion of us believed the exact same thing but being against love, tolerance and inclusion shouldn't be an acceptable worldview on a team that has been a safe space for all three.
The only thing I see questionable was the shot she took at Rapinoe, because that is a team member. With that said, Rapinoe went out of her way to take her own shot at something Albert cares about….. God. Everything else is simply criticism for Albert having her own opinion on an issue. Lame!
This will follow her for the rest of her career but I hope her NT career is over and they move on from the distraction she created. Everyone is replaceable and there’s no reason she needs to be on the team moving forward.
And thank goodness Ripino is finally gone!
Isn't it sad that you hope someone's career was over? And for what? Because people get offended easily?

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Unfortunately her opinion isn't about defending herself or her beliefs...her opinion is that those who need to defend themselves are wrong. Her beliefs promote harm and as a role model and representative she needs to be careful. I wonder if her wise and all knowing righteous parents gave her advice...manager? PR person? Her trajectory was pretty clear...which means she needed to be careful about what she posted and liked. Where are the adults? I think its sad that in our society we have 20 year olds who are so sure of their rights and opinions that they can promote them so widely and cause so much harm. Its sad because she will also have to deal with the consequences of being a stupid, self righteous and inexperienced young adult. I expect she will be booed...shunned...will miss out on some opportunities and could even be in danger. This is a dreadful and dangerous mistake and you can't make mistakes like this these days because media is far reaching. Even in her apology she hasn't been given adequate advice. Its an apology that feels generic. She needed to apologise to Megan Rapinoe and the community she has harmed. Naming and acknowledging would have helped her case. She could even say...I believe in God and all of his commandments and I believe in love and compassion for all human beings. Christianity doesn't condone hatred, marginalisation or judgement and I have made a huge mistake. I hope she finds some adult guidance and mentorship to help her mature and develop some compassion. Imagine finally reaching your dreams and being so publicly hated...ironic right? Apparently there were 96 out queer players in the women's World Cup in 2023...Not sure how she's going to recover from this. There's nowhere to hide.
Gimmeabreak. You think Korbin Albert "caused harm" by liking a video sermon of a former trans person giving their life to Christ? If you don't like Korbin's beliefs then you are free to ignore them. Are trans ppl so weak that they are "harmed" by someone they don't know hitting a LIKE button? Just wow, the fragility!
There's nothing patriotic about her beliefs. The moment Emma Hayes sees a midfielder as good as her, I doubt Korbin will keep her spot. She just screwed her once-promising career.
tbh I expect Emma Hayes to stay out of this and pick players purely on footballing merit, although obviously if the other players are not speaking or passing to her, it might make things rather tricky
If anyone can manage this situation to the best possible outcome Hayes can.
Korbin for captain
Get your head out of your ass n grow up
@johnweeden1954 lol shut up john you dont even watch womens football do you
It is strange that being in France which has the most open-minded people in the world. Playing in a club with many openly LGBTQ players. She still thinks like that.
Watching all the unintelligent in the comment session proves Horan to be correct 😂
It was funny a few years ago when WOKE liberal women started wearing hijab and acting like it was a statement of liberation. Hahaha, Muslims are the #1 anti-LGBTQIA2S+ group, and you all kowtowed to them in an attempt to burn conservatives.
Was Rapinoe's refusal to stand for the anthem of the country she represented an issue for anyone?
SHE'S GOT TO GO! IT'S A TEAM GAME & SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT PART OF THE U.S. TEAM. FANS SHOULD BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT HER REPRESENTING THE APPOLOGY LOOKED LIKE A PROFESSIONAL WROTE IT. I'VE FOLLOWED THE NATIONAL TEAM SI CE 1991 & NEVER SAW OR HEARD SUCH A DISGUSTING BUNCH OF TWEETS..
So Rapino was a team player when she and others took knees in support of BLM and anti-cop Colin C? Fan support took a huge hit. I don't think she and the others cared a wit. They consider themselves social activists. Most fans just want to see quality football and in that department the USWNT has fallen behind the best.
What a ridiculous over reaction! Such tolerance from the LGBT. Lol!!!
Everyone has the right to their beliefs and opinions, but when you like a social media post rejoicing in the injury of a fellow player that definitely crosses the line. The old 'she's too young to know better is not a valid excuse', I think she should be banned from playing professional football.
Wasn't it Megan Rapinoe herself who made a joke about her injury and God?
So, Megan can joke about it, but others can't? Is that a USWNT rule as enforced by the new Captain/Social Media censors?
This American looks forward to Japan kicking the USA team's oshiri.
@@JB-ti7bl I think it crosses a line when you make it personal. Football and playing for the USWNT are very much about being part of a team. Like her or not (I don't) Rapinoe has been a huge part of the USWNT's history. Liking a post which is gleeful of her getting injured is pure professional suicide.
So your WOKE religion believes in "1 strike, your out" ...meanwhile ... "Bigoted" Christians believe is forgiveness of sins...
But those evil Christians are the intolerant ones... I'm shocked at the level of hypocrisy.
JAELENE HINKLE or Megan Rapinoe, USWNT made its choice! What does America think? What is America's last word? You! Speak up!
Do not budge Korbin Albert! You are sane!
USWNT fans are like, fuck around and find out
Respect Albert’s belief! Because it’s moral!
So what who GAF.
In this world people have different beliefs, it is a fact of life. We are all different. Whatever she believes it’s hers and hers alone. The post about liking Pinoe getting injury, that to me is completely wrong. She can disagree with Pinoe all she wants but liking that is just plain wrong. Having said that, I do have a problem with 40 year old woman coming at a much younger woman, that has a lot less life experience. Pinoe knew that her fans were going to go after Albert. If she had such an issue with Albert, there are better ways to handle it privately.
We don’t pick out what family we are born into.
After watching Coach Kim Mulkey’s interview she said very clearly we must protect young women players.
This whole situation hurts the US National team.
Agree completely. She should have reached out privately. Korbin needs to grow and being slammed publicly isn’t the way to do it.
Excuse me... what about the trans kids reading that crap online?? Big and ugly parts of the ignorant and bigoted world are coming for them and their bodies EVERY DAY through legislation, violence and casual hate... people are being murdered bc of this shit! Where's their protection?? Enough. It's a health crisis. I could give a damn about Rapinoe calling her out publicly.
I don't like Rapinoe much, but in this instance she was reacting publically to a public post, so I can't blame her for that and I don't think she overreacted in this instance.
Damn right it hurts USWNT. They were roundly despised last year during the World Cup. About 75% of Americans appeared thrilled that the ladies lost. And, now they jump down a new player's throat for expressing Christian beliefs?
p.s., The joke about Rapinoe's injury was a meme riffing off of Rapinoe's own joke; the hubris of thinking God cares about your ankle specifically and stops everything to make you have an injury.
@@JB-ti7bl 75%??? That's some fake news right there 😆
I never heard an apology or people getting offended when Pinoe said "if there is a God, this is proof that there isn't..." I was offended by she saying this and Lavelle laughing like an idiot in complicity and nobody apologized to us Christians
she gonna just go back to psg and see her gay teammates now lmao
HUGELY disappointing behavior from Korbin Albert. She's allowed to have such feelings, but this is why you should have a private account as well as a public one (when yr a public figure you better be on point with what you say & do publicly). At the same time, this behavior, theses EXPRESSIONS of such opinions is unacceptable as a member of the USWNT. LGBTQIA+ ppl are the backbone of women's sports, many of her peers are Queer. She REALLY f*cked up big time. Megan Rapinoe's response was class, her celebrating her injury as holy intervention for living that sinful gay life was warped & frankly quite antiquated. Her apology seemed very inauthentic. Her reputation is now forever tarnished, & that feels warranted. If it's only her reputation that gets rocked, & not her standing in the squad then she sorta got off easy. Those positions on a national squad are coveted & a privilege, that role model status should be taken very seriously.
Except, it was Rapinoe who joked first about her injury having something to do with God. The clapback meme was poking fun at Rapinoe's hubris.
LGBTQIA2S+ folks, get over yourselves. You can't denigrate Christians then also claim the moral high ground. Typical Lefty double standards.
Her actions are very disappointing, for sure. I can't see it costing her a spot on the team though (as long as her football is good enough to keep that spot). Emma Hayes likes to win, and she'll choose a side based on who she thinks will get the job done.
Korbin isn't going anywhere. Nice try 1 percenter's.

Haha, the women must be kept safe from dissenting opinions at all times.
I'm not a Rapinoe fan but you never wish injury on anyone.
I was bought up struck catholic and didn't know what gay was (my middle name) till I was 18 and started play big kid sport. I get to know people first and judge if I like them or not.
My grandad told me once about how he had such a gay evening, he didn't understand for some time when I told him the meaning of the word had changed.
Nobody "wished injury" on poor Megan Rapinoe. Ms. Pinkhair herself made a joke disparaging God, which turned into a meme about hubris.
So, USWNT allows Rapinoe to disparage God, but punishes Korbin Albert for liking a clapback meme? No wonder so many Americans root against our national team. I sure do.
@@Footielad560The greatest coup the LGBTQIA2S+ crowd ever pulled was to get society to shift from saying "homosexual act" to "gay identity".
But, if the argument that all actions are part of one's identity and must be accepted, then shouldn't we accept drug addiction? Aren't addicts "born that way"?
@@JB-ti7bl Well, each to their own. Personally I feel saying you don't believe in God is very different from rejoicing in another player's injury.
@@JB-ti7bl You're giving far too much credit to the USWNT, who don't have as much clout as you credit them with, they're footballers. Addiction is definitely influenced by genes, but that's hubris and nothing to do with this issue. In today's relatively enlightened times I'm glad most societies have evolved well beyond the old days when it was considered more than acceptable to beat the gay out of people.
So anyone with an opposing view should not be allowed to represent their country? Instead of simply trying to cancel her why not try and educate? It’s very obvious from this all you want to do is pile on.
You don't have to take the offer to play for the team! Same could be said for those players who are anti American and refuse the national anthem. But they choose to stay!
I guess safety only applies to only those of the alphabet community.
Don't stand for your countries national anthem, you can play. Speak against your country, you can play. Defend those who only approve of your beliefs, you can play. For such a small percentage of the world it seems a act of tyranny when one goes against them.
That alphabet village is not worth it.

Sorry to say but I'm American and i support Korbin's actions. No harm made in my eyes. 👍🏽

An entire fanbase turned off womens sports because of rapinoe. Plus Albert said she was sorry.
Promoting woke ways is immoral and insanity!
This issue is not part of woke, stop trying to attach it to an issue that is much deeper than the way a person feels.

Korbin has let herself down
You all are offense. I love all people but don't promote delusion. I don't care about peoples sexuality. Korbin Albert probably doesn't hate gay or trans people. She does have a right to her opinion!! The video she posted with the guy's testamony was not mean but touching. 😢
on its OWN the simple `my pronoun is american ` is simple humour. lots of people dont want labels i wanted proffessor or proff. (the dot would be important 😅)
i have problems here because , megan rapinoe said its ok for trans women to play in womans league , in england a girl got a very bad injury in such an incident
im betting there are a lot of women in the game who fear this , but they cant say anything because theyll get verbally beaten up by te `activists `(who can be as extremeas the bogeyman far right
i wont be answering trolls
I think the 'pronoun is USA' thing is baiting trans activists, not simple humour. But I do also think it's not as straightforward as Rapinoe is making out. What if an extremely physically large and powerful (who has been through male puberty) trans woman starts playing in one of the top leagues and starts banging in goals because they are just much bigger than the defenders? Is that fair on those who have been through female puberty, especially if their goals start to win tournaments for their team? Or - as has already been the case I believe - seedy man starts 'identifying as a woman' to get access to female changing rooms? Just saying 'I support all trans people' is not going to cut it. Unfortunately we have to take into consideration the dark side of human nature with these issues, as well as the valid concern about being inclusive toward people who feel uncomfortable with the gender assigned to them at birth.
"far right"?
69% of Americans believe that athletes should play on sports team according to biological sex. That is the super-majority position. Activists like Rapinoe and the WOKE mobs make it seem otherwise.
It is not simple humor, is humor for simple people
ill prolly be commenting a lot here 0:56 far right .. is it really far right or just not progressive left ... im sure you know what i mean, so called activists describe anything that calls them out or puts forward logical arguements far right 🤷
I'm happy that Lefties consider Christianity "far right". That will just isolate the far Left as ppl start migrating back to God.
I like Albert, pretty solid player.
I don't like rapinoe, just too much activism for my taste.
Albert apologized, good enough for me.

Soccer is not about creating a "safe space", it's about forming a winning team. The LGBTQIA2S+ community needs to get over itself. You do not control the world.

Stop calling an adult women "girl". She is by definition not a kid anymore and therefore she gets the privilege of bearing the consequences for her actions and statements - good and bad -.
