  • Fox Sports Exclusive: Abby Wambach Addresses Controversial Comments Made Regarding Referee
    FOX SPORTS EXCLUSIVE: ABBY WAMBACH ADDRESSES CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS MADE REGARDING REFEREE U.S. star Abby Wambach exclusively spoke with FOX Sports USWNT Insider Jenny Taft and addressed the comments she made last night regarding the yellow cards given to teammates Lauren Holiday and Megan Rapinoe: “I was asked about my opinion – whether those yellow cards were just. And, for me, I’m not in the referee’s head, and that’s something I definitely take ownership of and apologize for, because I don’t know what the referee is thinking. She is doing the very best job she can; so are the players. We’re all trying to do our very best, and that’s what I feel bad about because I think that’s what was taken a little bit wrong in what I said, because I don’t know what she was thinking, and nobody can. She’s doing the best she can, and for me, I have the utmost respect for all the referees who are refereeing these games and all the players because this is such a big event. In no way did I intend to offend her – and my biggest apologies if it was offensive in any way.” FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas reacted to Wambach’s apology: “We saw a player who realized she screwed up, or she was told she screwed up, and needed to rectify it. I’m glad that she did, but I love the fact that Abby Wambach talks. I love this volley that seems to go back and forth on everything.
