From inappropriate comments, unwanted advances and grabs of the ass to coaches and and even press officers speaking about players’ ‘tits’ and physical appearance, sexual harassment is rampant in the sports world.
In an Instagram post Solo congratulated the women who had spoken out and wrote with the #MeToo hashtag: “For the past few days, I have been thinking about all the uncomfortable situations myself and/or my team-mates have experienced throughout the years with trainers, doctors, coaches, executives and even team-mates. Solo, the most capped goalkeeper in US football history with 202 appearances, including in the 20 Olympic- and 2015 World Cup-winning teams, spoke out last month about sexual harassment in sport, following the revelations about the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. “I had to quickly pull myself together to present my team-mate with the biggest award of her career and celebrate with her in that moment, so I completely shifted my focus to Abby.”
“I was in shock and completely thrown off,” Solo said. Expanding on the alleged incident on Friday, Solo told the Guardian that she had to compose herself immediately afterwards to concentrate on making her speech and giving the presentation to Wambach.
