Arrr mateys, the scallywags of the Boston Celtics be in hot water for ignorin' Jrue Holiday's shoutout to his fair maiden, Lauren Holiday. 'Tis a shame they didn't tip their hats to the former USWNT lass before the match on Tuesday night. Aye, the fans be fumin'!
In a hilarious twist of fate, the Boston Celtics got themselves into a bit of a pickle when they shared a snap of Jrue Holiday rocking a No. 12 jersey, teasing TNT’s big announcement about the U.S. men’s national team. But alas, the Celtics forgot a crucial detail - that jersey belonged to Jrue’s wife, Lauren Holiday, a legend in her own right on the women’s national team.The social media team at the Celtics proudly proclaimed Jrue was "Reppin @USMNT," completely overlooking the nod to Lauren and the USWNT. This blunder didn’t go unnoticed, with even USWNT star Alex Morgan chiming in to set the record straight.Jrue Holiday quickly made it clear who he was representing, giving a shoutout to his wife on social media. Lauren Holiday, on the other hand, shared the post but made sure to tag both the USMNT and USWNT, highlighting the importance of the women’s team’s achievements.With four World Cup victories under their belt, including one during Lauren Holiday's tenure, the USWNT’s jersey boasts four stars. After retiring in 2015, Lauren Holiday became the first player in the National Women’s Soccer League to have her jersey retired, solidifying her legacy in the sport.Despite the mix-up, the Celtics post served as a reminder of the incredible accomplishments of Lauren Holiday and the USWNT, sparking a conversation about the importance of recognizing women’s sports achievements.
