USWNT co-captain criticized supporters’ knowledge of the game. But her words ignored the role the women’s team has played in building a soccer culture

Last Thursday, The Athletic dropped an interview with Lindsey Horan that probably didn’t have fans flocking to buy her replica shirt.

Apparently, the co-captain of the trailblazing US women’s national team thinks that “American soccer fans, most of them aren’t smart … They don’t know the game. They don’t understand.” She did, admittedly, throw them a bone, adding: “[But] it’s getting better and better.”
