Soccer Player Lindsey Horan Apologies For Called American Fans “Dumb”

Soccer Player Lindsey Horan Apologies For Called American Fans “Dumb”

“First and foremost, I would like to apologize to our fans,” Horan said while speaking during a virtual availability ahead of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup. “Some of my comments were poorly expressed, and there was a massive lesson learned for me.”

Horan expressed her displeasure with match watchers who accepted match commentary at face value in an interview with The Athletic, going on to joke that her mother did the same thing while watching USWNT games. She took some time on Thursday to address the confusion and thank the supporters.

Horan previously chastised American supporters for “not knowing the game” and “lacking smarts” in an interview with The Athletic. As if it were so difficult to understand the American women’s World Cup defeat?

“American soccer fans, most of them aren’t smart. They don’t know the game. They don’t understand. [But] it’s getting better and better.”

“I’m gonna piss off some people,” Horan added, “but the game is growing in the U.S. People are more and more knowledgeable, but so much of the time people take what the commentators say, right? My mom does it! My mom says, ‘Julie Foudy said you had such a good game!’ And I’m here, just going, ‘I was fu-king sh-t today.’”

Horan took some time to realize that insulting her fans was an idiotic move.

Does Lindsey Horan have siblings?

She is the only child of Linda and Mark Horan, and her brother is Mike. She finds motivation in her father, Mark, who competes in 100-mile ultra-marathons. She enjoys spending time in the Colorado outdoors and enjoying BBQs with her loved ones. Her all-time favorite player is Lionel Messi, and Arsenal is her favorite team.

Has Lindsey Horan won a World Cup?

When the U.S. Women’s National Team won the World Cup for the second time in a row last summer, Horan played a crucial role. She made appearances in six of the team’s seven games, starting four of them, and contributed two assists in addition to her two goals.
