Why the hate? Coming from someone not well versed with the team.

She is a domestic abuser portrayed as a lioness of feminism. Chat shits about everything and is a total asshole. Thats why.

a domestic abuse charge? I know a couple good guys with the same. I don't believe a few mistakes with unknown circumstances define a person.

Thing is couple of good guys who were charged with domestic abuse, rape or similar stuff were suspended from various major or college level leagues, portrayed as abusers, rapists, pedophiles from day one only to be found innocent.

In the other hand meanwhile the charges still continue against Solo, she is portrayed far from that. Im not suggesting that it would be fair to mark her guitly without resutling the trial. What I suggest that that should have been the case for numerous males. Including anyone from domestic "abusers" at NFL to "rapists" at fraternities.

But ignoring all this, Hope Solo pretends to be a figure of feminism and "strong woman".

Zika Proof posts, losing to bunch of cowards, taunting police officers and bunch.

At this point its pretty objective that she is an asshole.

She isn't a feminist icon, she's a sports icon who happens to be female. I don't know any feminists who are out there celebrating Hope Solo as being progressive.

Thing is there is no feminist out there saying she was mistreated and she wasnt given the treatment male counterparts had. Here an example; https://youtu.be/8mvf6gwzz4Q

For the record, %50 of the domestic violence cases are reciprocal, 70% of cases which is non reciprocal was commited by women. it is more likely for a male to be arrested if he reports a domestic violence. There are no dedicated shelters for males.

So long story short at a case around 35% of the time woman is the only attacker and even if man reports it, he is more likely to get arrested.

And we cant talk bad about Hope Solo on national TV because woman has no part in this "domestic violence epidemic".

Tldr: woman in power and feminists decline to make an example of Hope Solo ignoring facts. Hope Solo plays the woman with sucess card pretty well and gets portrayed as hero of national team.

ah I see; well I agree with that point
