United States women's national team midfielder Korbin Albert apologized on Thursday for previous social media activity that appeared to support anti-LGBTQIA+ content, and for purportedly liking an Instagram post that made light of Megan Rapinoe's torn Achilles in her final professional game.
Albert, 20, is a rising star for the U.S. and Paris Saint-Germain who just started all three knockout games for the U.S. in a Concacaf W Gold Cup triumph while wearing No. 15 -- the number Rapinoe donned for the past decade-plus before retiring in late 2023.
"I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on social media," Albert wrote in a post shared on her Instagram story late Thursday.
