Korbin Albert anti-LGBTQ+ controversy explained as star appears at Olympics
Briefly

While Albert has not said anything publicly about LGBTQ+ or trans people herself, the midfielder has re-shared posts critical of the community. She was criticized for sharing since-deleted posts of a Christian worship group's discussion on how being gay and 'feeling transgender' is wrong.
Fans discovered Albert had liked a meme wishing injury on lesbian US football star Megan Rapinoe. Rapinoe is an advocate for LGBTQ+ organizations. Albert's teammates denounced her social media activity, leading her to issue an apology acknowledging her failure to create a safe and respectful environment.
