"She has become an extremely polarizing figure. Rather than focusing on soccer, she uses the field as a backdrop for her left-wing protests.
"Solo said, “I think the rhetoric surrounding this team has been both divisive and inclusive. I guess it’s kind of where we are in politics in this day and age.”

"'I think that’s really hard being on the main stage right now with so many political issues for athletes, there’s a lot of pressure,” she added.
"The U.S. women’s soccer team has become more widely recognized for its pregame political posturing than for its dominance on the field.
