Amidst Hope Solo's marvelous performance in the Women's World Cup, where she plays for the U.S women's national team, her presence among the team remains a public disagreement for her domestic violence arrest involving her half-sister and her 17 year old nephew last June.
Before the team's World Cup game, Solo's half-sister, Teresa Obert just recently opened up and released new documents, revealing the domestic violence incident. Solo was arrested on two counts of domestic violence on June 21. The report indicated how she fought with the police and insulted them as they tried to book her into jail.
When Solo was asked by the reporters about the incident during the Women's World Cup, the 33 year old goalkeeper refused to comment and instead just made a clear statement that she is there to talk about the game and nothing else.
While the gold medalist athlete is avoiding to comment on the issue Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., issued a letter on Thursday to Sunil Gulati, who is the U.S Soccer President, urging the federation to investigate the charges which was filed against Hope Solo and reconsider her role as an active member of Team USA, as NBC Sports reported.
Which was answered right away by Sunil Gulati,, on Friday saying that the federation already made the necessary action to investigate the allegations. And they also interviewed Hope Solo, who denied the allegations.
Gulati also cleared that the federation had not requested for an interview for the two alleged victims, who happens to be Solo's half- sister and her nephew because they think that it would become a heresay situation, a battle of "she said this and she said that".
When Sen. Richard Blumenthal, got the response he said that the way the U.S Soccer handled Hope Solo's domestic violence arrest was "tone deaf" and "nonsensical," he said in USA Today Sports on Saturday.
