Although the president mentioned many of the players from the team, he failed to mention Hope Solo’s name.

Booing Hope
When USA played their first game at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the fans started to boo Hope each time she touched the ball. They then started to chant, “Zika! Zika!” All of this was in response to her Instagram post showing that she wasn’t going to take any chances with the zika virus while visiting Brazil. An interviewer asked her if the booing affected her, to which she answered that she didn’t even notice it.
