Ron: I don’t want Hope Solo representing me as American on U.S. Team

Seattle soccer star Hope Solo was on Good Morning America this week sounding apologetic for some choices she made that left her suspended from the U.S. Soccer team for 30 days. But not everyone is ready to forgive.

After seeing her GMA appearance, KIRO Radio’s Ron Upshaw said he’s “fed up with her act.”

Solo just returned to the soccer field on Saturday after a 30-day suspension. She was suspended from the U.S. women’s national team following an incident where her husband, former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, while reportedly behind the wheel of the team’s van.

Speaking about the incident to Robin Roberts, Solo called it a “horrible choice.”

“Clearly I wasn’t thinking. It was a horrible choice,” she said. “I think I just wasn’t in a good place emotionally to even make good decisions. It’s not an excuse but it was stupid. I should have called a taxi.”

She went on to say she hopes people can forgive her in time.

“I want people to realize I’m just human, I’m just human, and I make mistakes,” said Solo. “And I want people to be able to forgive me if they’re willing to do so.”

Ron says he thinks the whole “I’m just human” thing applies to cases like forgetting something off the grocery list or missing an appointment, but not to the kind of offenses she’s been accused of.

“Getting into repeated alcohol-related incidents, that’s a different category of mistake to me,” says Ron, speaking of her husband’s DUI arrest in addition to domestic-violence charges filed against her last year that were later dismissed.

“Having repeated incidents that all revolve around alcohol and saying I was in a bad emotional place, I’m kind of fed up,” says Ron.

With all these questionable incidents, Ron isn’t sure she’s the appropriate person to be representing her country on the national team.

“I don’t want her representing me as an American on America’s team,” says Ron. “I think you get only so many chances to reboot your life. This is beyond, ‘Oh I’m human.'”
