PSG’s Korbin Albert celebrates after scoring her side’s second goal during the women’s Champions League quarterfinals, second leg, soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and BK Hacken at Parc des Princes, in Paris, Thursday, March 28, 2024. PARIS — Korbin Albert, a midfielder for the U.S. women’s national team, apologized Thursday night for having liked and shared social media posts that she described as “offensive, insensitive and hurtful.
“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on social media,” Albert wrote on her Instagram story. “Liking and sharing posts that are offensive, insensitive and hurtful was immature and disrespectful which was never my intent.” Albert’s apology came shortly after PSG’s 3-0 win over Häcken in the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals — she scored in the game — and followed criticism from recently retired U.S. star Megan Rapinoe.
“I truly believe that everyone should feel safe and respected everywhere and on all playing fields,” she wrote. “I know my actions have not lived up to that and for that I sincerely apologize. It’s an honor and a privilege to get to play this sport on the world stage and I promise to do better.”
