We've honored U.S. Women's National Team Goalkeeper Hope Solo before. In fact she was one of the very first to be bought an imaginary (but hopefully real someday... like Pinocchio!) beer. Just this weekend the hottie between the posts led her #1 national side to a 4-0 beat down of #2 ranked Germany in Cleveland.But that's not why we think that Ms. Solo is one of the greatest women to EVER live; kinda like Amelia Earhart, Dolly Madison, Jane Addams, Ida Tarbell, and Cheryl Cole.
Today it is because of her commitment to the FBM cause.
We received an e-mail from a friend in St. Louis who let us know that Hope was fighting the good fight to "spread American soccer one beer at a time".
From Free Beer Movement fan Bradley:
Hey, this happened a couple weeks ago, but I thought it worthy of a Free Beer mention. Hope Solo who plays for both the national team and St. Louis Athletica sent out the following invitation to all the Soccer Supporters Groups in St. Louis both men's and women's:Video from the Laclede's Army Atheltica Supporters Group:However, she also bought one of the pre-game tailgate tents and 20 tickets to give out for free to anybody who wanted them. I don't know how many tickets she ended up buying, but it was more than 20 and I know there was a lot of beer being drank in her name and a big chant from the supporters in the corner during the game was "Hey Hope, Thanks For The Beer!".
Normally I would say this was just a team write-off with her name on it, but a friend ran into Hope yesterday and while they were talking she said something to the effect that she ended up paying for a lot of beer that night. She really did buy the beers herself out of her own pocket. Surely she is worthy of recognition by the FBM. I wasn't there, but I wish I could have been to tell the tale of when Hope Solo bought me a drink.
So this basically makes Hope Solo the female equivalent to Frankie Hejduk. That's a good thing, by the way....
A fantastic goalkeeper, a great human being, and, even if she didn't know, a member of the Free Beer Movement.
We love Hope Solo.
