>In response to Berhalter's characterization of the events, Danielle Reyna said, "Without going into detail, the statements from yesterday significantly minimize the abuse on the night in question. Rosalind Berhalter was my roommate, teammate and best friend, and I supported her through the trauma that followed.

This is gross. What kind of sick person leverages her friend’s trauma 30 years later because her son didn’t get enough playing time?

Gio deserved to be on the field, but damn his parents are awful.

With parents like that, it's no wonder why Gio acted incredibly selfish and entitled. Are you surprised? I'm not.

I don't think he deserved to play at all. His attitude and lack of effort reportedly angered his teammates to the point that they were mad over the 52 minutes he did get.

Being injury prone and a asshole with toxic reps is one good way to stall your career.

I was listening to a podcast last month and it was put to a vote to his teammates whether he should stay or be sent home from Qatar and it was almost 50/50. Yikes, that much of the squad dislikes you

Just checked.

He's 18th on the squad when it comes to minutes played. Has not completed 90 mins once this season and barely plays even 60 minutes.

You realize he got counseling and they are married now?

Getting counseling doesn’t erase the fact that he beat his partner, and plenty of abused spouses stay with their abuser. He’s a piece of shit, plain and simple.

He kicked her in the leg one time when they were 18 and arguing while drunk. He sought counseling on his own after being honest with their families about what happened and they have now been back together for 30 fucking years.

If we can't forgive people for mistakes they made decades ago that they clearly regret and worked to reconcile then what the fuck are we doing as a society?

No it doesn’t, but the fact that they have been married for 30 years speaks to fact something changed in him AND his wife forgave him. We need to be able to move on from the past…especially if a person has changed their behavior. Our recidivism rate maybe much lower if we could do that.
