Its been a roller coaster of a week in the American soccer world, as an important, progressive stand taken by U.S. womens national team players seeking equal pay for equal work made ever more apparent the disharmony and differences that linger between them and the mens side.

In what was surely a nightmare situation for U.S. Soccers PR team, two of the mens players, Alejandro Bedoya and Jozy Altidore, took to Twitter to deride Wambach for her actions and arrest.

Bedoyas tweet referenced an ill-advised Wambach remark from this past December, when she suggested on Bill Simmons podcast that mens coach Jurgen Klinsmann be fired for [bringing] in a bunch of these foreign guys . Altidores tweet, meanwhile, nodded toward the drunk driving incident of teammate Hope Solos husband last winter .
Predictably, Bedoya and Altidore received an immediate slew of criticism for their tweets. But Bedoya, specifically, doubled and tripled down on his stance, citing the irresponsibility of both Wambachs Saturday night conduct and her previous statements.
