USWNT midfielder Korbin Albert apologized for sharing anti-LGBTQIA+ posts on social media and liking a reel that made fun of Megan Rapinoe’s career-ending injury
Korbin Albert, the U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder who now wears Megan Rapinoe’s old No. 15 jersey, is under fire for liking and sharing anti-LGBTQIA+ posts via social media, including one directed at Rapinoe.
“I'm really disappointed in myself and am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused to my teammates, other players, fans, friends and anyone who was offended,” she continued. “I truly believe that everyone should feel safe and respected everywhere and on all playing fields. I know my actions have not lived up to that and for that l 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.
This isn’t the first time Albert has posted anti-LGBTQIA+ content to her social channels. Last Fourth of July weekend, she shared a TikTok video in which she said her family’s “pronouns are U.S.A.”
