United States Women’s National Team Midfielder Korbin Albert Apologizes for Past Social Media Activity
In a shocking turn of events, United States women’s national team midfielder Korbin Albert has issued a public apology for her past social media activity that supported anti-LGBTQIA+ content. The 20-year-old soccer star also expressed regret for liking an Instagram post that made light of Megan Rapinoe’s torn Achilles in her final professional game.
Albert, who recently started all three knockout games for the U.S. in a Concacaf Gold Cup triumph, wore the iconic No. 15 jersey previously donned by Rapinoe, who retired in 2023. However, a series of controversial social media actions has tarnished Albert’s reputation within the soccer community.
In response to the backlash, Albert took to social media to express her deep regret and apologize for causing hurt to teammates, players, fans, friends, and anyone who was offended by her actions. The young midfielder admitted to liking a post celebrating Rapinoe’s injury in the 2023 NWSL championship, prompting a swift response from the soccer legend herself.
Rapinoe, known for her advocacy for LGBTQIA+ rights, spoke out against hate in response to the incident involving Albert. The midfielder quickly responded to Rapinoe’s message, promising to do better and ensure that everyone feels safe and respected in the soccer community.
As the soccer world awaits U.S. Soccer’s response to Albert’s apology and her status for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup roster, the U.S. women’s national team is set to convene for the tournament in Atlanta next week. The future remains uncertain for Albert as she faces the consequences of her actions and works towards redemption in the eyes of her teammates and fans.
