Ellis: Solo suspension stemmed from 'sum total of actions' (The Associated Press)

U.S. women's national team coach Jill Ellis has emphasized that Hope Solo's suspension stemmed from a 'sum total of actions' and not just comments the goalkeeper made about Sweden during the Olympics. Solo was suspended for six months and her contract with U.S. Soccer was terminated following the team's disappointing exit from the Rio Games. Sweden eliminated the United States on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinals.
