If you ever had dreams of bombarding Carli Lloyd's email with marriage proposals, U.S. soccer briefly opened the window.
For whatever reason, the federation's lawsuit against the U.S. women's national team players union were published on Wednesday with sensitive information. At the end of the documents, personal email addresses of a number of national team players were included, per New York Times.
Carli Lloyd Shouldn't Play During Olympic Qualifying
Personal home addresses of players such as Lloyd, Hope Solo, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan were published as well.
Needless to say, they weren't happy.
"Naturally, we're upset," Rapinoe said Thursday. "The players are very, very upset. We feel disrespected. We feel that our personal information, our privacy and our safety was handled frivolously and with real negligence. I doubt it was purposeful, but it's an egregious error, and one that's unacceptable.
"We're public figures. There have been issues of privacy and hacking and stalkers. It's very unsettling. We're upset. To know that someone could show up at your door? That's extremely unsettling, and it's something that you can't get back."
U.S. Soccer redacted the documents, but the damage has already been done.
"It was unintentional on the part of U.S. Soccer's counsel," the federation said in a statement. "A redacted version of the complaint has already been filed."
Fortunately for Lloyd and company, there are more pressing matters at hand to keep their minds off U.S. soccer's fumble.
