The 20-year-old player expressed her remorse and acknowledged the insensitivity and hurt caused by her actions.

Taking to her Instagram story, Albert publicly apologized, admitting that her decision to like and share offensive and hurtful posts was immature and disrespectful. She expressed disappointment in herself for not upholding the values of safety and respect for all individuals, both on and off the field. Albert emphasized her belief that everyone should feel safe and respected in all spaces, and she pledged to do better in the future.

The controversial posts shared by Albert received negative reactions from former USWNT star Rapinoe, who expressed her dismay on Instagram. While she did not mention Albert specifically, it is widely believed that Rapinoe was addressing the offensive content. Rapinoe questioned those who hide behind their beliefs and demanded accountability for creating a safer, more inclusive world. Other senior players within the USWNT, including captain Becky Sauerbrunn, Lynn Williams, Kristie Mewis, and retired midfielder Sam Mewis, shared Rapinoe's post, indicating their agreement with her sentiments.

The Christian sermon reposted by Albert has since been deleted. The sermon propagated the controversial notion that being gay or transgender is wrong. This incident has shed light on Albert's previous posts, including a TikTok video featuring her family during Independence Day, where she referred to their pronouns as "U.S.A."

Additionally, Albert had previously liked a social media post mocking Rapinoe's injury during the 2023 NWSL Championship game. In the third minute of the match, Rapinoe tore her Achilles tendon, resulting in her team's loss to Gotham FC.

Albert, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain, is a rising star within the USWNT. Her actions have prompted comparisons to Jaelene Daniels (née Hinkle), who has been overlooked for the national team due to her outspoken anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs.

The USWNT, renowned for its strong stance on inclusivity and providing a safe space for queer players and fans, continues to address the importance of respect and equality within the team and the wider soccer community. The incident involving Albert serves as a reminder of the need for education and understanding to create a more accepting environment for all individuals.

Moving forward, it remains to be seen how this situation will impact Albert's career with the USWNT and her journey towards personal growth and redemption. The player has promised to learn from her mistakes and work towards being a better teammate and ambassador for the sport.
