Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Korbin Albert went on a TikTok posting spree ahead of her biggest call-up to the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) yet, adding to a series of Harmful transphobia and homophobia, Share a post about demonic influenceand laugh at Megan Rapinoe had to withdraw from the final game due to injury. Abbott is 20 years old and appears to be one of the rising stars in a position of need on the U.S. women’s national team. She had just started all three elimination games of the U.S. Women’s Gold Cup and played all 120 minutes in the team’s ridiculous victory over Canada — while wearing Rapinoe’s recently vacated No. 15 jersey.
Since she is so young and talented, and fans are liking her posts, she also Score a goal in the Champions League—Albert was the main character in Emma Hayes’ first version of the USWNT; that is, her regressive views were disappointing and her new teammates were quick and outright critical of her.

One day ago, she was called up to the U.S. Women’s National Team for the SheBelieves Cup and is currently participating in training camp with her teammates. Albert has not been in the national team for a long time. She was first selected for the national team two weeks after Rapinoe tore her Achilles tendon last November. She made seven first-team appearances and spent two and a half seasons at PSG, essentially the equivalent of one season. With less than two months until Hayes’ coaching debut, the SheBelieves Cup is everyone’s last chance to prove their playing time to the new coach. Abbott must have known she was on the verge of a breakthrough, which makes her use of TikTok seem downright silly in addition to being vulgar. Even if Rapinoe didn’t help successfully fight for the equal pay that Albert now benefits from, it would be too bad to take pleasure in Rapinoe’s injury.
While neither Rapinoe nor Sauerbrunn are on the current USWNT roster, several current players have spoken out about Albert’s activities, including Lynne Williams and Sam Mewes make good points Talking about the relative importance of human rights and football, while also mentioning Jaelene Daniels’ decision to sabotage her USWNT career in the mid-2010s when she chose bigotry over being drafted into the military.Ahead of Wednesday’s media session with Catarina Macario, U.S. women’s soccer captain Lindsay Horan and Alex Morgan impromptu speech Media about Albert:
