Summary
Two time World Cup champion and double Olympic gold medalist Carli Lloyd called out the U.S. men’s national team star Christian Pulisic for his lackluster performance against Belgium and throughout the World Cup. She made comments on television and followed up on social media, but once word came out that Pulisic was playing on a broken leg, some fans demanded Lloyd apologize, one even using her pregnancy to body shame her after her honest assessment of Pulisic. Lloyd not only refused to apologize, she doubled down on her commentary, and we wonder if a man had offered the same critique, would anyone have even noticed?
