USWNT captains Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan publicly addressed teammate Korbin Albert's engagement with an anti-LGBT TikTok post on social media, expressing disappointment and sadness over the actions of the 20-year-old.

Horan and Morgan, in a series of press conferences and statements, emphasized the team's commitment to upholding its integrity and support for LGBTQ+ rights, noting that Albert's actions did not reflect these values. They also mentioned that internal discussions about the matter would remain confidential. Albert has since apologized for her social media activity.
