They were probably equally embarrassed with the whole twitter tweeting of pictures of beekeeping suit and bugspray stuff which really pissed off the Brazilians as she mocked them for the zika virus risks prior to the beginning of the tournament.
Her behaviour is likely something US soccer doesn't want emulated and therefore they're setting the tone with the move. Hope Solo seems like she is a disaster as a person, a horrible teammate and likely toxic to any dressing room she sets foot in.
Hey can I be the coach that she says doesn't know anything about soccer? What a treat she must be to coach.
Sometimes people's attitudes, no matter how good they are, can be too much.
