It’s weird to me that the parts Emma spoke on— that Korbin has been available to media and hasn’t been requested. That media are welcome to ask questions of her— was omitted from this piece.

is she even any good though? we seem to do just fine without her

This is what I find so frustrating about the situation is that continually it's about how KA is responsible to respond to these questions, but its not as if she's done an interview or been made available. Shes continually coddled by US Soccer. And its not going to go away like they hoped

We had a candid conversation with Korbin pitchside after the match in Austin on 10/24. We explicitly told her that we need to hear what "work" she's put in directly from her mouth (doesn't mean all is forgiven, but it's a start).

How convenient for Albert.

mt404soccer.bsky.social•83 days ago

What work has she done if she’s never elaborated or even been asked during media availability? It’s like they want the situation to continue as is…

Hopefully some positive and productive conversations happen soon between Albert and the media. I’m ready to turn the page on this.

Also, we deserve to know what “the work” is.

lunarbike.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yeah, Hayes eluded to the fact that the media hadn’t asked her about it when she talked after the game. But that was also vague. I don’t recall any media having the ability to ask her anything since the info came to light.

I read this as the media hasn’t asked Emma about it; now I see you meant Korbin. Yes Korbin hasn’t been made available. They’re sheltering her.

fooddatanerd.com•83 days ago

She’s done post game press conferences right? What’s stopping journalists from asking her?

lunarbike.bsky.social•83 days ago

With the national team, not to my knowledge. I don’t think she has.

fooddatanerd.com•83 days ago

Oh are you talking about Korbin or Emma? I was talking about Emma.

christophicles.bsky.social•83 days ago

She has not been made available, and unless you are in France and get credentialed, no one there has asked her either

lunarbike.bsky.social•83 days ago

I cannot imagine the French football press giving a shit about that situation or even knowing about it. So there’s no way they are going to ask.

christophicles.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yup!
