Female soccer player, Hope Solo, has been
given a 6-month ban from the U.S. national soccer team,
after branding the Swedish side "cowards." The U.S. team
lost to Sweden at the 2016 Olympics, leading Solo to
publicly remark during an interview, "I think we played a
bunch of cowards" and "the best team didn’t win" which was
universally branded poor sportsmanship.
The interview caught the attention of the
press and U.S. Soccer president, Sunil Gulati, who stated of
Solo's comments during the 2016 Rio Olympics, "The comments
by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden during the 2016
Olympics were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of
conduct we require from our National Team players."
This is not the firs time Solo has gotten
herself into trouble. Solo was arrested for domestic
violence because she...wait for it...beat her boyfriend
turned husband (LOL,
but seriously, you shouldn't do that to him and vice versa).
Beautiful 9-year-old girl, Amiyah Dunston, who was a painter
and violinist, was killed in Long Island, New York in a pitbull
dog attack. Amiyah, whose nickname was "MiMi" was playing in her
friend's backyard during a play date, when a pitbull escaped
from a neighboring yard and attacked her. People attempted to
free Amiyah from the jaws of the 80-pound dog, who refused to
release her.
When police arrived at the home and attempted to free the
badly injured child during the grisly attack, the dog charged at
them. An officers opened fire shooting the pitbull to death.
Amiyah was pronounced dead from the injuries the pitbull
inflicted upon her. No charges have been brought against the
owner of the dog, Carlyle Arnold Jr, as the dog was not
previously considered dangerous. However, he was arrested in an
unrelated case for violating a restraining order.

People online are calling for pitbulls to be banned (they are
in select U.S. cities and states, but not in a uniform manner on
a federal level nationwide). In many nations, select breeds of
dog are banned and with good reason, as some canines are very
dangerous. Too often select dog owners do not take enough
precautions in securing their pets and have the naive view that
they are harmless, when there have been tens of thousands of dog
attacks (especially the pitbull). Pitbulls should be banned
everywhere. They have single-handedly committed the most fatal
dog attacks in the world. They are known for attacking children
(as are rottweilers) and turning on their owners. If you have a
child present in your home, you should not have a pitbull or
rottweiler.
