Indefensible

Greg Ryan should’ve been fired on the plane ride home. Forget the stupid comments goalkeeper Hope Solo made. That, to me, is an expected consequence of an indefensible decision by Ryan to replace her with Brianna Scurry as the starting keeper for the semifinal. Scurry’s a fine keeper, but replacing Solo, who had started every
game up until then, would be like if the Beatles had replaced Ringo Starr before going on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”
