Carli Lloyd defended Alexi Lalas against social media critics who called him out for his political views, asserting that the backlash reflects conservative perspectives.
Carli Lloyd, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA World Cup champion, has publicly defended former U.S. men's soccer star Alexi Lalas amid criticism directed at him on social media. Lalas faced backlash for his political views, with some users labeling him a 'fascist.' Lloyd's response came after a comment on X that not only disparaged Lalas but also referred to her as his 'sidekick.' The comment alluded to historical controversies related to the World Cup, specifically the 1978 event in Argentina, which was criticized for the host nation's human rights abuses.
