@sbnb时代 以下是Rapinoe在接受NBC采访时发表的言论——
"I mean really disappointed, to be honest," Rapinoe said in an interview with NBC sports when asked about her reaction to Solo's comments. "That's not our team, that's not what this team has always been, that's not what this team will be in the future."
Rapinoe, a world and Olympic champion midfielder with the USWNT, went on: "It's frustrating sometimes as an athlete, you're thrust into the spotlight and you know I think this team has always done a really amazing job of understanding that we have this incredible platform, let's do something good with it. Let's be badass, let's be fierce, let's be competitive.
"But we're gracious, we're humble and we play the game a certain way - whether we win or lose. And we've been on the winning side quite a bit and when we find ourselves on the other side we need to handle that graciously and unfortunately that wasn’t the case."
必须要说明的一点是Solo的赛后言论虽然没有严重过错但确实存在不妥之处，尤其是考虑到那是一场奥运会比赛而不是FIFA比赛。但如果说Solo的赛后言论是一时冲动情有可原的话，那么Rapinoe的公开表态则是深思熟虑权衡利弊做出的，她显然有足够的时间去思考应该如何表态。既然Solo在赛后发表了自己的言论，队友当然有权力针对Solo的言论发表个人见解，或赞成或反对或沉默，Rapinoe也不例外，她也有权利说出自己想说的话。
仅从字面来看Rapinoe的言论非常得体，冠冕堂皇甚至是完美无瑕，她化身为美国女足传统、体育道德以及奥林匹克精神的忠实捍卫者，她成为了所有运动员的楷模。但问题在于Rapinoe只是球队中的一位资深（或核心）球员，她只能以个人名义发表见解，而不能在自己的言论中代表球队整体。实际上Rapinoe公开表态的内容更像是一个官方的新闻稿，只有在球队内部达成统一意见后，教练或是两位队长才有资格这样说。
