My Controversy
In our society both male and female athletes are under immense pressure as not only their athletic career is constantly analyzed, but their personal lives and decisions are criticized, too.
I find athletic controversies extremely interesting because of the level of celebrity that our society places on these athletes. This article from USA Today emphasizes the personal drama that the women's World Cup athlete Hope Solo in enduring. A few years ago Solo faced charges for domestic violence, "profane language towards police", and a 30 day suspension form the national team for allowing her husband to drive a Team USA vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
Even though these incidents happened a couple years ago, Solo was still in the eye of the media due to the then upcoming World Cup.
