They're just as human as you are

Today is a prime example of why I can't be in a relationship and do school well. My favorite player picked up a DUI last night and ironically is the public's response that I'm most peeved at. (and also the reason I'm so unfocused today!)

Almost every dentist, physician, and pharmacist I know has driven drunk.
Its called college.
So unless you've absolutely never driven drunk and have the moral character that would actually make me believe that....seems to me like there are an awful lot of stones and glass houses.

I've been drunk twice. Once in undergrad and I secured a designated driver before I started drinking and once when I passed my dissertation defense. I haven't had alcohol since November 19, 2014. That's the kind of moral fortitude I'm looking for otherwise leave Abs alone.

If she was a regular as person, like oh say a teacher or a doctor, this wouldn't be news. She'd be another person who made a mistake and has to pay for it. Her employer probably wouldn't even know this had happened.
She's human. Let her be that.
Let her have flaws.
I mean my God, she retired from the sport she dedicated her life to because her body couldn't keep up any more AND her wife left her. The two biggest things in her life ended in 2015. I'm shocked she's getting out of bed every day.
She needs compassion, not judgement.
If I couldn't be a physician AND my most important relationship ended, I'd be a recluse.

And don't get me started on the MNT players who were being complete jerks. Y'all can't even win a damn game and you want to talk about the greatest goal scorer of all time? NOPE! You trying to tell me that as a professional male athlete, you never drove drunk? NO way I'm believing that. Also, bringing up Hope is classless. She's doing things y'all could only dream of in soccer. Hell, no one even knows who you are. So keep your bullshit to yourself.

I'd also like to point out that I would smooth clear be over the limit off one glass of wine so she didn't haven't to be fall down drunk to be booked.

I digress.

The point is I still see Abby for who she is.
The greatest goal scorer of all time.
A great leader.
A fallible human being.
Another person in the world who could use a little less judgement and a little more sensitivity.
I'll still be wearing my Wambach jersey with pride.
