Hope Solo is now an official candidate in the running for US Soccer president, but her policy platform wasn’t the focus when she recently went on the “Why I’m Not...” podcast. Solo talked about her struggles coming up through youth soccer and trying to find a place as a pro, her dismissal from the US women’s national team, their struggles with the federation over an equitable collective bargaining agreement, sexual harassment in soccer, and the sexism that female athletes face in general.
There were some interesting takeaways from this interview, although she doesn’t really go into her platform for USSF president.
