U.S. women’s national team midfielder Korbin Albert has apologized for having liked and shared social media posts that she described as “offensive, insensitive and hurtful.” The 20-year-old Albert had reportedly reposted anti-LGBTQ+ content on her TikTok account.
PSG’s Korbin Albert celebrates after scoring her side’s second goal during the women’s Champions League quarterfinals, second leg, soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and BK Hacken at Parc des Princes, in Paris, Thursday, March 28, 2024.

PSG won 3-0.
“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on social media,” Albert wrote on her Instagram story. “Liking and sharing posts that are offensive, insensitive and hurtful was immature and disrespectful which was never my intent.” Albert’s apology came shortly after PSG’s 3-0 win over Häcken in the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals — she scored in the game — and followed criticism from recently retired U.S. star Megan Rapinoe.
“I truly believe that everyone should feel safe and respected everywhere and on all playing fields,” she wrote. “I know my actions have not lived up to that and for that I 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.”New Salernitana coach hoping good things come in threes
