• 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. The soccer goalkeeper was charged with 2 counts of domestic violence to which she plead not guilty. A trial is now scheduled to begin on Nov. 4 and if convicted Solo could be facing 6 months in jail. While awaiting trial Solo has been allowed to continue playing for the U.S. Women's team and is expected to start in the CONCACAF championship next month. The fact that Solo has been allowed to play while men facing similar charges in the NFL are being benched has certainly raised some eyebrows because of the double standard that is being presented.
