I think she deserved a bit better ending than this.

    Brandi Chastain's career with the U.S. women's soccer team is over.
    "I flew up and talked with Brandi and told her I didn't intend to bring her back, that I was going to move on with some other players that I want to develop for 2007," Ryan told The Associated Press while running a team practice before Sunday's exhibition game against Canada at Virginia Beach.

    "What I'm looking for in future defenders are qualities that she doesn't possess at this point in her career," said Ryan, who succeeded April Heinrichs as coach earlier this year.

Seven times in person.
Not to mention following the team through the Olympics, world cup and international play.

Besides, she DID score the greatest goal in US Soccer history.

Apparently the ability to strip after scoring a game-winning goal is not one of the defender qualities that the coach is looking for.

Oh come on. Male soccer players do all sorts of crazy crap after scoring a goal; taking off a shirt is tame compared to some of the stuff I've seen.



"You can look the other way once, and it's no big deal, except it makes it easier for you to compromise the next time, and pretty soon that's all your doing; compromising, because that's the way you think things are done. You know those guys I busted? You think they were the bad guys? Because they weren't, they weren't bad guys, they were just like you and me. Except they compromised... Once." -- Jack Bauer

You're welcome. And thanks for your snarky reply. Even 6 days later...it's still funny.

Yeah. In terms of how the UFC treats its fighters, he's spot on. Particularly with what went down with Renan Barao. A lot of very legitimate issues being raised here. I just wish it came from a better source.
