Albert had garnered criticism for reposts on her public TikTok that included amplifying anti-LGBTQA+ rhetoric.
“I’m really disappointed in myself and am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused to my teammates, other players, fans, friends, and anyone who was offended,” she posted.
Albert wore the #15 for the USWNT during the 2024 Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup, a number popularized by Megan Rapinoe.
Rapinoe made a post she confirmed to the Athletic was influenced by Albert on Thursday, asking “are you making any type of space safer, more inclusive, more whole, any semblance of better, bringing out the best of anyone?”
Rapinoe’s post was shared by former and current USWNT players like Sam Mewis, Lynn Williams, Becky Sauerbrunn, Abby Dahlkemper, and Alana Cook.
The USWNT has taken collective stances on civil rights in the past, notably championing a “Protect Trans Kids” message during the finale of the 2022 SheBelieves Cup, which was hosted in Texas.
