I still don’t get why people think Hope has to be someone else to be acceptable. She really hasn’t done anything wrong in her career. Nothing that should get people into a froth. If people wanted to “clean up” athletes they’d have a looooong list of...
Anonymous asked: what's your opinion on alex doing dtws?
Anonymous asked: I think it's safe to assume that if Hope hadn't said what she said in 2007 the media would adore her for being who she is.

Case and point, that idiot interviewer from ESPN and the people from the intro to the interview.

Hope is a tough sell. “Everybody standing? I think I’ll sit.” LOL He’s going to have to try harder. Nelly spoiled her last year.

So to be honest, I was a little outside the fence to read this book. Mainly because of the excerpts I have been reading so far. It kind of made me feel awkward just reading something Hope wrote against about her team mates. Team mates that from what…

Mana Iwabuchi, a 19-year-old striker, stole the ball from Rampone just inside the 18-yard line, turned it inside to put it on her...
