In a statement on Wednesday, U.S. stars Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan expressed disappointment over the social media activity of teammate Korbin Albert.
United States women's national team captain Lindsey Horan and veteran star Alex Morgan delivered a prepared joint-statement on Wednesday regarding teammate Korbin Albert's anti-LGBTQIA+ posts on social media. 'We've worked extremely hard to uphold the integrity of this national team through all of the generations, and we are extremely, extremely sad that this standard was not upheld,' Horan began.
' Albert, a 20-year-old midfielder who plays for Paris Saint-Germain and is considered to be a rising star for both club and country, had previously shared a video on social media from a Christian sermon that spoke about how being gay and 'feeling transgendered' is wrong. Albert also appeared to have liked a post about legendary USWNT winger Megan Rapinoe after she tore her Achilles in the 2023 NWSL championship game — Rapinoe's last professional match before retiring.
