Hope Solo Allowed To Continue Playing On U.S. Women's Soccer Team While Awaiting Trial For Domestic Charges As NFL Has Deactivated Male Players For The Same Reason
Last June, Hope Solo was involved in a physical altercation with both her sister and her 17-year old nephew at a party in Washington state.
