If it seems like Hope Solo’s from another planet, it’s because she is. People shake their heads at the nutty antics of the United States and Seattle Reign goalkeeper, but it’s not easy being the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia.
It’s boundary issues really. If you were told to go to bed by a hologram, you’d routinely ignore it too. The next thing you know, you’re insulting revered women soccer players, marrying hoodlum and thug former football player Jerramy Stevens and allegedly punching out your half-sister and nephew.
Han, with that cock-eyed grin and infinite insouciance (go ahead, look it up if you don’t know what it means), was a terrible role model. Sure, he worked on soccer fundamentals with little Hope, but then he’d be off to another planet, hanging out in dive bars with Uncle Chewy.
